Cat With Asthma

We take care of many special needs pets. Most are diabetic dogs and cats who require insulin injections twice a day. We've also given fluids to pets who have kidney disease, injections for pain medications and plenty of oral medications for all sorts of conditions from blood pressure to thyroid. We have all sorts of tricks to get those pills down when the pets aren't cooperative.

Rama is a cat with asthma. He's on an inhaled steroid once a day after every evening meal. He must sit quietly with the pet sitter and take 8 to 10 breaths from his inhaler. The client also has a rescue inhaler standing by should he have an asthma attack outside these treatments and we monitor his breathing comfort on every visit to work with the client if he starts to have symptoms that may lead to an attack. 

No matter what condition your special needs pet has we can help! Give us a call to talk about it and we'll come up with a plan to allow you to travel with Peace of Mind.

Barking Dogs

Is Your Dog Barking?

Whether you're trying to have that zoom meeting and your dog is barking at every little noise that you may not even hear or your neighbors have told you they can hear your dog barking when you're not home, we can help!

A tired dog is a quiet dog! For as little as $15 a day we will take your dog on an adventure to burn off that excess energy! Schedule Today! 

You're also going to love getting our dog walk maps that show you the walk distance and where we went!

Live Pet Sitter Map

Our Live Sitter Map is monitored throughout the day. It shows the manager where every pet sitter has clocked in, how long they've been clocked in, details about the visit (client, visit type, visit length) and, when zoomed in, the dog walk route as it is in progress!

Any late arrivals (alerted when the pet sitter hasn't clocked in within 15 minutes of the visit end time) will also be shown on this Live Sitter Map and a pop up notification is sent to the manager and the scheduled pet sitter. Late arrivals are uncommon and are usually only seen on busy holiday weekend mornings when we often start earlier than scheduled to let all the dogs out for potty by the end of our first hour of the day.

Travel with Peace of Mind knowing your pet care is being managed at all times!

Preparing for Your Personal Emergencies

Pet Care Tips for Personal Emergencies

We get a lot of calls from patients in the hospital and from hospital staff on behalf of patients when they learn they have pets at home. While it isn't ideal to walk into a home with pets who don't know us, we have skills that allow us to manage the situation. 

Here are our Helpful Preparation Hints that, should you find yourself in an emergency, will help us step in to take care of your pets. This is especially helpful for seniors who live alone and everyone in the community who doesn't have a family member, friend or neighbor who can help.

1: Put a card in your wallet with emergency contact information and, in large print, that you have pets at home alone.

2: Use a hide-a-key. You can place these just about anywhere and they come in all sorts of disguises. This is a far more secure solution for hiding a key than placing the key in or under a flower pot or under the door mat or furniture. 

3: Keep the food and medication in an easy-to-find location. In the event you aren't able to call us and the nurse calls on your behalf we'll be able to find it.

4: Tape a note to the food storage container or nearby wall that has feeding and medication instructions.

5: Notify your veterinarian of your emergency pet care provider's name and they will let you know what they need to provide treatment in your absence. They may also be willing to supply more medication, should you not have enough, and bill it to your account.

Of course, it is helpful for your emergency contact to be familiar with your pets. We are happy to come by to meet you to alleviate your concern over this important decision and we're always just a phone call away!
