Meet & Greet
Our Meet & Greet service is designed to give clients the opportunity to introduce their pets to one of our professional pet sitters. As a part of this service, a Paw Pals pet sitter will come to your home to “Meet and Greet” you and all of your pets.
We will discuss your needs, and evaluate your pet’s temperament and behavior, and ensure they are eligible candidates for our dog sitting services. We also use this as an opportunity for you to explain and show us your pet’s routine. However, you are under no obligation to obtain services as a result of this visit, and we reserve the right to refuse service if a pet is not a good candidate for our services.
For existing clients, this service can be beneficial if you’ve added a new pet to your family, have moved house, or simply have an updated routine you’d like to show us in person.
Pet Visits & Vacation Care
With our regular vacation visits service, Paw Pals dog sitters come to your home to give your dogs the attention, exercise, food, and supplies they need. Our dog sitting service includes playtime attention, brushing, treats, fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, and medication administration. We offer a variety of options for visits, both in frequency and length.
Vacation Visits Includes:
- Playtime, brushing, treats
- Fresh food and water at scheduled visit
- Clean litter box
- Medications, if required (see medication administration)
- Attention and love as if they were our own!
Overnight Dog & House Sitting
If you don’t want to leave your dogs all alone at night while you’re gone, one of our certified and trusted Paw Pals dog sitters can stay at your house with your dog’s overnight to care for them and keep them company. Overnight stays in a home are for 12 hour periods and begin when our dog sitter arrives, typically between 7 and 10 PM. Playtime, brushing, treats, fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, and medication administration are all included for an overnight stay. We request that you get in touch with us at least two weeks beforehand because this service is subject to the availability of our sitters.
Note: Subject to sitter availability.

Additional Services
Medication Administration
Add-On Services for Scheduled Visits
Our Paw Pals pet sitters are trained in administering various forms of medication. Most of the time, pets will take medication willingly or with slight coaxing, so there is no additional charge if pet medication is administered with a treat or hidden inside food. However, some medications such as injections and subcutaneous fluids require more expertise and therefore require an additional charge.
