Services We Provide: House Sitting: Our house sitting would entail us staying inside your home overnight from 9pm-9am. We include two FREE drop-in visits per overnight booked - typically around 12pm and 5pm (we can adjust to whatever times work best for you and your pets schedule) These stop-ins would include feeding, playtime, potty breaks and walks. If you'd like to book more drop in visits during the day we would be glad to do so depending on our availability. Additionally, we can bring in mail/packages, put out trash cans, water plants, etc. Please don't hesitate to ask! Drop-In Visits: This service entails us stopping into your home to check in on your pets. This would include letting dogs out to potty in your yard, feeding and refreshing water for pets in the home (dogs, cats and small animals), cleaning litter boxes, etc. We can even bring in packages or mail if needed. Also, watering plants if needed. Dog Walks: This service would entail us taking your dog(s) out for a short 30 minute walk in your neighborhood.

Information Karen & Bob F. would like to know about your pet

It's very important to let us know your pets wants and needs. We like to know if your pet has any medical conditions that we need to be aware of, any medication/dosages, their feeding schedule, if they have any fears/or habits, etc. At this time we are only able to pet sit small/medium size animals. It is important that they are people friendly!

A typical day

We love to go on walks in the clients neighborhood. During our meet and greet we can discuss your pups favorite spots to sniff around the area! If there's a neighborhood park or Bark Park they like to go please let us know! It's always a fun time to bring a ball or frisbee to play fetch.

We come to you with knowledge and experience caring for small pets, dogs - puppies and seniors alike! Our family had a loving lab mix named Buddy for 10 years!

Karen and Bob are simply the BEST! We feel so fortunate to have found them, and after trusting reviews just like this one, made the decision to book with them to look after our 2 fur babies in our home while we were out of town. First, their communication and attention to detail is top tier. We had a meeting beforehand to meet them and have them meet our pups, and Karen made sure to get as much detail as possible so that handoff on our first day would go smoothly! She thought of so many things to ask that I might have forgotten to tell her! Once we left for our trip, we were treated to tons of photos and updates each day, which helped put our minds and hearts at ease while we were gone. Karen and Bob also went above and beyond to care for our home with some super unpredictable winter weather that came through! But I imagine their standard of care would have been the same in perfect conditions as well :). While we don't love leaving our boys, we know exactly who we will call to look after them the next time we need to! Thank you, again, Karen and Bob!
