Every petsitting visit is thoughtfully designed to meet each pet's individual needs and each client's specific requests.
A TYPICAL PETSITTING VISIT ...
Includes feeding and fresh water, dog walking, kitty playtime, cleanup of pet waste, bringing in the mail, packages, and newspapers, watering your indoor/outdoor plants and gardens, caring for your outdoor wildlife (squirrels/birds), and cleaning/tidying up of designated pet areas. This can be during a long-term such as vacation care; or you can simply call if you are held up at work and won't make it home in time for Fido's dinner and potty break or walk. We also have a veterinary background and are experienced in high-needs cats who might need sub-Q fluids daily and/or diabetic kitties in need of insulin injections.

HOME SECURITY ...
Not only do we care for your pets while you are away, we also care for your home. We will adjust the lights and curtains, bring in packages, take garbage & recycling cans out to the curb & back, rearrange automobiles in your driveway, and anything else you think of which will make your absence go unnoticed. We have several clients who aren’t pet owners and still choose PAWSWEGO for home security and maintenance purposes.

DAILY MIDDAY DOGWALKING ...
Midday dogwalking services are available Monday-Friday, at a significant discount, with a monthly contract. Hectic work schedules and lengthy commutes make it difficult to find the time and energy it takes to give your dog the daily exercise and fresh air they deserve and need in order to thrive as happy and healthy creatures. We cannot stress the importance of this service enough! We can taylor the schedule to meet your dog's needs and your budget. It can be Monday through Friday, or just Tuesday and Thursday walks. As long as we can put it "on the books", you get the discount. If you have pre-paid this month but need to cancel a walk or two, never fear, we will simply give you a credit toward the following month's walks.

OVERNIGHT STAYS and HOUSE SITTING ...
For more comprehensive home and pet care we offer a variety of options to chose from. In some cases (such as animals requiring medication at specific times or needing extra potty breaks) an overnight stay can be a more economical alternative. Other pets do better if they have a daytime sitter. We can accommodate almost any special request to make your pets feel as happy and secure as possible.

DOG PARK EXCURSIONS/FIELD TRIPS ...
We schedule special field trips or "play dates" for your dog to get a chance to run free, play, and socialize with other dogs at designated leash-free dog parks. Only dogs with basic training and good manners will qualify for this fun and unique service.

TRAINING REINFORCEMENT AND MAINTENANCE ...
We will be happy to enforce any special training programs you have gone through, or commands you use, with your pet (especially while walking them). So, when you return home, they will be as well behaved as when you left them in our care, if not better!

SHUTTLE SERVICE ...
We also offer pet shuttling services for Veterinary and Grooming appointments, Doggy Day Care, and any other pick-ups or drop-offs you are unable to fit into your busy schedule.

Our RATES for the above listed services can be found in the "nitty gritty" section of this website.
