What makes us different than other services (especially Rover, Wag! or a “hobby” pet sitter, etc.) Our business is run by Dawn Olson, a former Veterinary Technician (see Meet The Sitters Page) that has many years of professional pet care & also currently owns & operates The Ken Caryl Pet Spa. We hand pick our pet sitters & match them up with our client’s needs. They are trained, pass a background check and we only hire people that Dawn would allow to care for her own pets!
In October of 2017 we converted all of our pet sitters from contractors to EMPLOYEES! Why is this better for you? As a business that has served this community for many years, we have always wanted to provide the BEST services with the BEST pet care givers. As employees, our pet sitters qualify for Workers Compensation Insurance, Unemployment, SSI, Liability Coverage and other benefits that do reduce your risk as a home owner. We also have more leeway to require continuing education, training (such as Pet First Aid & CPR Training) and more supervision. We also use a software called Pet Sitter Plus that allows you to update your pet’s information & care, directly book your pet reservations needs and provides our pet sitters with their daily schedules, they check-in and out of each visit! We even send you visit notes (& pictures) directly through the software to your email about our visits, which our client’s love!
Clients absolutely love the convenience and security that our pet sitting service provides and we work 365 days per year. . . all we can ask is that you TRY IT! We are used to handling pets with separation anxiety and have been known to sit on the floor and hand-feed them!
We recommend you explore our website, as it provides answers to many questions, but don’t hesitate to give us a call, we would be happy to discuss your specific needs because we realize that every pet is different and requires individualized care so they are able to have a successful at home experience.
**We have very limited availability for pet sitting or overnight care through 2022.** Please fill out our new client inquiry form with detailed information so that we can check our availability more easily.
We understand that not all pet care questions can be answered on our website for each individual situation and we are happy to talk to you further via e-mail or by telephone at your convenience and answer any specific questions you may have.
