Benefits of In-Home Pet Sitting, Midday Dog Walking and Dog Running

Benefits of Hiring an In-Home Pet Sitter

  • Your pet will be more comfortable with a pet sitter staying in your home setting while you are away.

  • Your pet will receive individualized attention: a pet sitter who will provide lots of petting & playtime!

  • Your pet's exercise routine will be followed as closely as possible; thereby, reducing stress and behavior problems.

  • You can relax on your vacation knowing that an extremely responsible pet sitter is caring for your pet and household.

Benefits of Midday Dog Walking & Dog Running

  • Keeps pets from becoming overweight, and developing other health problems such as osteoarthritis and/or diabetes.

  • Diabetic dogs also benefit from hiring a dog walker, since it reduces the amount of insulin needed for optimal glucose control.

  • I can work with your dog on leash etiquette and walking control.

  • Keeps pets from exhibiting destructive behaviors: chewing-up items in home, inappropriate urination; since the socialization and stimulation of walking and/or dog park visits provides an outlet.  Note: Your dog will be secured with dog seat belts, whenever transported (see photo below).

  • Reduces hyperactivity.

  • Physical exercise spurs the growth of new brain cells.

  • Dog running provides the optimal amount of exercise your dog needs.  Dogs need 45 minutes of running per day.  I can provide dog running during the "walk" or during the dog park visit, via retrieval, or other stylized games. Stylized games also provide an outlet for the natural predatory behaviors in dogs.
