At-Your-Home Pet Care, during your travels

We are dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate, at-your-home pet care.  We've been in service over 20 years, are fully bonded and insured, and are members of Pet Sitters International (www.petsit.com) and Professional Pet Sitters of Minnesota (www.petsittersmn.org).

We have a wide variety of pet care experience - from caring for our own pets, to pet sitting, to dog training and kennel work, to humane society volunteering.  We have experience with most types of domestic pets - mainly dogs and cats, but also bunnies, birds, rodents, reptiles and fish. And chickens!

Services For Travelers

Travel Pet Care, While You're Away
This service is offered 7 days a week.  It includes one to four daily visits to your home, depending on your pets' needs. Every-other-day visits are available for cats, birds, and cage pets - if appropriate.  We feed & water, give potty breaks or walks, clean litter boxes or cages, give scheduled medications, cuddle and play with your pets, and check on your house (mail and papers in, lights on/off, plants watered, etc.).  Your pets get great care, in their own familiar environment!
(For safety and control, cats must remain indoors during our care.) 

Overnight Stays at your home with your pet(s) are available on a limited basis. 

____________________________
Free, No-Obligation Consultation*
Prior to beginning service, each new customer receives a free 30-45 minute consultation at their home.  We meet each other and your pets - to see if we're a good fit for each other.  If not, there's no obligation.  If so, we'll go over your pets' routines and scheduling, complete the necessary forms, get keys, etc.  After that, care for your pets is just a click or phone call away!  Consults are offered M-F during the day, or M-Th evenings if needed.  
*(Additional meetings for home moves, new pets, etc. are charged at regular visit rates.)

Exclusions

Our services do not include:
  • Veterinary care - We will, of course, transport your pets to their vet if they become sick or injured.  ALL Clients MUST complete our Veterinary Authorization Form with credit card information for use at Emergency Vet Services, or your vet - NO EXCEPTIONS. Click 'DETAILS; What We Require' tabs for more information on this requirement, before you call for a consult. 

  • Midday weekday dog walks. We only provide travel pet care.

  • Boarding - we only offer at-your-home pet care.

  • Full-scale grooming - we will always clean and/or dry off your pet if they become dirty or potty-soiled.  And we are happy to do light brushing or nail trimming (if your pets allow it).

  • Full-scale pet yard cleanup - but, we do pick up whatever waste your dogs leave during our visit or stay.  

  • Housekeeping - however, we will always clean up after ourselves and clean up any messes your pets make during our visit.  We try to leave your home as good as you left it.

  • Carpet cleaning - we will pick up feces and vomit as we see it, and blot up liquid messes. However, deeper carpet cleaning must be done by a professional cleaner of your choice.

  • Snow removal or yard care - please arrange for a service to handle these needs when you travel.
