Our business is based on the philosophy that great service is the best thing we can offer. What that means to
us is that we come to you and find out how we can best take care of you and your pets, rather than offering a
generic plan that every animal can fit. Like people, each pet has a distinct personality and enjoys a different
life routine. We don't believe one size fits all when it comes to pet care. We meet your schedule rather than
making you fit 9-5 hours. Our service is limited to Bloomington city limits and the Fairfax side of Lake Monroe.
Each visit is approximately 30 minutes and includes:

How Many Visits?
Dogs kept indoors while their families are away from home need visits at least three times a
day to relieve themselves, unless they have a dog door or other access to the outdoors. It
may be tempting to schedule only two visits per day, but our experience shows that this will
most often lead to them having accidents in your home - often causing damage to floors or
rugs. While we will clean this up, we can't be responsible for damage caused when dogs
eliminate indoors. Unless there are unique circumstances, we do not accept indoor adult
dogs who are not housebroken.
Cats are generally fine with one visit per day although with two they get more attention.
WALKS & DAYCARE
If you work long hours or feel guilty about leaving your pets home alone while you are at
work or some other activity, we can stop by to let them out and play. Mid-day visits are a
great way to let your dog out for a nice walk during the day. And unlike the process when
you take them to a daytime facility,you won't get your car or clothes covered with hair.
Many of our customers hire us to come over and walk their dogs on a daily or occasional
basis. Sometimes they are too busy to do it themselves. Sometimes they are recovering
from an illness or at other times the weather is too nasty for them to want to go out. If you
ever need help walking your dog temporarily or long-term,we will be happy to do it.
We also offer a New Puppy Program for the little ones that need to relieve themselves
several times a day. We can make two visits during the work day - mid-morning and
mid-afternoon to help with your house training.
OVERNIGHT CARE
Some people really don't want to leave their pets alone overnight. After four years of
turning people away who wanted overnight care, and finding no other options to
suggest to those people, we have added limited overnight care. Our pet sitter will
arrive at your home no later than 10pm and stay until at least 7am. The bedtime and
morning walk for dogs are included in the overnight care. Dogs will still need a mid-day
visit or two.
MEDICATION
We are not professionally trained in veterinary medicine, but we
have experience giving pills, oral liquids, injections and
subcutaneous fluids to cats and dogs. If your pet has been ill
or needs extra care and you need to be away, you can be
assured that we will give it special attention and keep it very
comfortable
Dogs & Crates
Experts say dogs should ideally not be left alone for longer than 4-5 hours. If dogs are kept in crates, we strongly recommend you
schedule four visits a day while on vacation to keep your dog secure and comfortable. Pets can sometimes become destructive
when left home alone for long periods of time and it may be tempting to leave them in a crate. But leaving a dog in a crate for too long
can be harmful.
*NOTE: Except for overnight, neither puppies nor dogs should be crated for more than five hours at a time. Information from American Dog
Trainers Network.
Kennels vs. Pet Pals
The benefits to pet-sitting vs. kennel boarding for you and your pets are tremendous. The primary benefit is that your pets will be
able to stay in their own home where they are most comfortable and secure and they will feel less stress without you. They will be
happier!
