Pet Sitting Service

Our standard Pet Sitting Service is used on an "as needed" basis, providing visits to your pets while you are away from home (business or pleasure), out on the town for the evening, or just get stuck working late! Once you are a client of Happy Paws Pet Sitting Service, you can simply call us whenever you need a sitter, for any occasion, and arrangements will be made to accommodate your needs. We request 24 hours notice, but will do our very best to provide a sitter for your pets, even on short notice.

Paws Express

We also offer a service called Paws Express, which is a "stop and go" service, in which time we can refresh your pet's food & water, let dogs out in your fenced-in yard, or scoop a cat's litter box, give them a few pets and jot you a quick note before we leave. As our Paws Express service does not allow us much time for love and attention, we do not recommend strictly using Paws Express for an extended period of time, as pets get lonely and begin to miss their "parents" after a few days. Paws Express service is only offered for dogs (combined with Pet Sitting services) if there is a fenced in yard for them to be let out in; there is not enough time during an Express visit to physically take dogs for a walk.

Happy Paws Club (HPC)

We also offer a daily service, Monday through Friday, called the Happy Paws Club (HPC), which provides mid-day visits to your dog(s) while you are at work. Veterinary research indicates that your pets should not "hold it" all day, while their owners are at work; just as physicians would recommend that people do not wait. It is just as detrimental to your dog's internal organs, as it is to yours, to not relieve themselves when necessary. During these daily visits, your dog will be walked or let out to conduct their "business", be fed their meals if you request, be given fresh water, exercised, played with, or just given love and attention in the case of some older dogs. Whatever your dog's special needs are, they will be met each and every day with our Happy Paws Club (HPC) service. To join the HPC, simply contact our office and we will send a sitter to your home to get you signed-up. You will receive 3-5 visits per week, and service will be provided on a monthly basis. Your service will automatically continue on a month-to-month basis, until such time that you contact the office to cancel your service. The club is a convenient service for dogs both young and old. Puppies sometimes need to be walked or let out more than once a day while their owners are at work, so our club provides up to 2 visits per day.

House Sitting Service

Our House Sitting Service provides care for your pets along with added protection for your home. Your sitter will visit your home 3 times per day (approximate times are 8:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., and 9:00 p.m.) and stay overnight on their last visit of each day. This service does not provide 24-hour coverage, however, it is far superior to the care provided at many local kennels. Your pets are receiving one-on-one attention, and you get the bonus of having the "lived-in" look at your home, with the presence of someone at home, a car in the driveway and the lights/television on.

Bed & Breakfast Service

Our Bed & Breakfast Service offers the same level of care for your pets as the House Sitting service, however, the pets are hosted at our sitter's home as opposed to in your own home. This service is not recommended for pets who experience separation anxiety when owners are away. A pet who suffers from separation anxiety is much better left in their own home where they are familiar with their surroundings. In some cases, however, pets enjoy a change of scenery and consider it a "treat" to go for a ride and stay somewhere away from home. This service does not provide 24-hour coverage, because our sitters will sometimes have to leave home to attend to other pet sits, however, they will have companionship for several hours per day and overnight.
