Let us have one of our furry friends tell you what we do: Well, Sheila understands us and, in some ways, is a lot like us. No, I don’t mean that she is a furry femme fatale or catches tennis balls in her mouth, although I've seen it done.  She likes to romp around - be it in the snow, the puddles, or the leaves - without being tied down to a strict schedule. She is friendly to all those she meets and on our excursions in the park. Sheila has unconditional love for us. How do we know this? She doesn't  get mad at us when we are all muddied and still need to get into her clean car. She rewards us with flavorful biscuits, sometimes even if we’ve done nothing for which to be commended. She smiles lovingly at us and laughs at all the little things we do. She doesn't take us on walks around the block - instead, she takes us to dog parks, golf courses, and rail trails. How cool is that? And when Mommy and Daddy go away, Sheila  stays with us at our own homes where we are most comfortable. Whether you are going away overnight, for a weekend, or for a long vacation - dog-sitting begins from the moment our parents leave until the moment they return. We receive the utmost care with lots of recreation and attention. Sheila  can accommodate most people because of her flexible schedule, and can even help out with any last minute pet care needs. You are probably wondering - 'am I going to break the bank by calling Wag A Tail Pawsitting'? To make it simpler, we have the rates listed below.

We are 100% committed to you having a great experience with our company! If there is a service that you don't see, give us a woof and we'll do our best to accommodate you. Each visit is designed and customized to meet your pet's needs.

During our initial visit we'll meet you and your dog. We’ll discuss what you and your dog’s needs are- be it walks, training, petsitting…We will go over his routine, diet, exercise habits, behaviors (good and bad) learn the little things that make your dog happy while you are away and determine how often you need service. During this visit we collect the keys to your home, any alarm instructions and complete the paperwork. We suggest you complete the forms (can be found online) before our visit so we may spend more time getting to know your canine companion.

OVERNIGHT PET CARE

We understand the guilt you feel as parents of these family members and the undue stress it puts on your dog(s) when you kennel them. With our overnight pet & house-sitting, your pet(s) will experience the joy of staying in their own homes while you are away. Overnight/weekend dog sitting begins from the moment you leave until the moment you return. Your loved ones will receive the utmost care with lots of recreation and attention, and of course, a treat or two. Also provided if needed are little tasks around your home - such as bringing in the mail or newspaper, watering house plants, turning lights on and off, adjusting the temperature of the home, even returning to a home that's cleaner than how you left it.
