Pet Sitting
|
Our pet sitting services include feeding, watering, refreshing litter boxes, dog walks, play, potty breaks and our basic house sitting services (listed below). Extended time can be requested, if needed, for multiple pet homes or for additional services. Most litter box trained cats do well with one regular visit per day. Most dogs will require 3 or 4 visits a day for potty breaks and exercise. Please see our special package rate for dogs. Whiskers and Paws provides service for most types of pets including cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and small caged animals. We do reserve the right to refuse service to animals that are poisonous or that have a history of aggression.

House Sitting
Our basic house sitting services include taking in your mail and newspapers, putting out the trash, and simple security measures such as adjusting the shades or lights to make your home appear lived in while you are away. You do not need to have any pets to request our house sitting services. We can also provide additional services such as lawn watering or mowing upon request.
Dog Walking
|
Mid-day dog walks are a great way to give your dog a potty break and some much needed exercise and TLC while you are away at work. We will walk your dog around your neighborhood or transport your pet to a dog friendly park or walking trail for a special treat. We have special rates for people that schedule our services at least 8 times a month; however, you can request our services less frequently or on demand as well. There is an additional charge of $5 for each additional dog per dog walking visit. The number of dogs that I will agree to walk at the same time will depend upon their size, training and temperament.

Pet Taxi
We are happy to transport your pet(s) to appointments such as the groomers or to their veterinarian. We can also assist you by picking up supplies for your pet such as medications or special pet foods. This allows you to spend more time with your family at home rather than running errands.
