• CATS: during a House Sitting Stay, your cat(s) will be given ample playtime (if they are active) and cuddle time throughout the day
• CATS: are most happy when we provide them with a clean environment, fresh clean water, clean liter box (potty station), ample food sources, and playtime & privacy when needed
• DOGS: your pup will be a participant in our daily daycare activities (when scheduled)
• CATS and DOGS: per your request, we will provide up to 3 meals per day, fresh bottled water, and snacks throughout the day (as needed)

• Cats thrive with daily exercise and mental stimulation!
• During our 30-60 minute visits we use interactive toys, such as lasers, toy mice and feathers on string to entice your kitty's natural prey drive and get them up and moving! 
• your cat's litter box(s) and surrounding area will be clean as new
• we make sure your kitty has been fed enough and is given fresh water daily

• During the day, overnight guests receive all the same benefits of group daycare, plus at night they receive a spacious  room with plenty of light and human company.

Like us, many pets require prescribed medications in order to prevent, control or improve their health condition. Whether your pet has recently been neutered, develops a case of diarrhea during it's stay, diagnosed with an illness, or just needs its monthly heartworm medication, our sitters are available to make sure your pet gets their regular dose.  You will also be notified by email and phone call, if any problems or emergent situations occur and your dog needs vet care.
