COMPLETED VISITS
Free In-Home Consultation
We believe that you and your pet should feel comfortable with us. That’s why we offer a free meet & greet in your home beforehand to ensure everyone is comfortable before beginning.
Service Verification
Don’t stress about what time your pet sitter arrived and departed. When your sitter checks-in/checks out the GPS coordinates are recorded, giving you the exact time of care.
Happier Pets
Pets experience less stress when they remain in an environment where all sights, smells, and sounds are familiar. Allowing them to stay home will ensure their normal routine stays uninterrupted.
Transportation Eliminated
Not all pets enjoy riding in the car, especially cats, or you simply have to many dogs. You’ll never have the inconvenience of dropping off and picking up again.
No Unnecessary Charges
Don’t pay for an extra day, like at the kennel, just because you came home on a weekend or evening.
Insured & Bonded
Confidently leave your pets with us, knowing that we’re insured and bonded. This means that your property and pets are fully covered, should anything occur on our watch.
GPS Tracking
You know the exact time we arrived; now you want to make sure your dog got their exercise. Our maps will show you the starting and endpoint of our dog walk, giving you a peace of mind.
Healthier DOgs & cats
Eliminate your pet’s exposure to parasites or contagious diseases that can be present in boarding or daycare facilities. Dogs can return with kennel cough and cats with upper respiratory illnesses.

I have used The Purr-fect Paw for a number of years now. It is such a comfort to be able to have complete trust in a service to come into your home and take care of your pets. There are usually a lot of things to try and pull together when you travel, but my wife and I never worry about our pets. At the beginning of the year I put in the dates I know that I am going to try and get away and that is all I have to do. The Purr-fect Paw crew take care of everything else. And from the pictures I get during the visit I can tell that my pups like seeing them. My pack of dogs has dwindled since I started using you but The Purr-fect Paw will always be an important part of our family.
We’ve used The Purr-fect Paw for two years for our two large dogs and have been incredibly impressed. Everyone we’ve worked with has been kind, knowledgeable, and dependable, and we’ve felt very comfortable leaving our animals in their hands. We love that our dogs get to sleep in their own beds and play in their own yard while we are away, and the emails we receive from the sitters after every visit give us such a peace of mind (and quite a few laughs!), which is just what we need. It’s so much easier to enjoy ourselves knowing that our pets are being well taken care of at home. We highly recommend The Purr-fect Paw and will be using them for all our pet-sitting needs from now on!
We have used The Purr-fect Paw for over 2 years. Every time we come home to 2 well cared for golden retrievers. Everything is in its place and they are happy. I have considered taking them with us on trips but know EVERYONE will be happier if they are in their environment. I have always been pleased that I had The Purr-fect Paw to take care of them. In addition, I receive emails letting me know when a visit begins and ends. These emails come with notes describing what goes on during the visit. There are even comments on each dog’s personality which lets me know The Purr-fect Paw is really tuned in!
The Purr-fect Paw is such a wonderful and professional company for my animals! They give me such peace of mind and are extremely reliable. They are so flexible when I’ve had to schedule last minute visits and have excellent communication. I am the kind of person who wants detailed updates and they always provide the best updates with so many pictures! The online booking service is so convenient and easy to use. It was also important to me to find a pet sitter service that was insured and bonded and I love that they provide those details. I recently moved from a larger city and could have never have found this kind of company that offers so many services with such peace of mind! My dogs Remi and Maggie as well as my cat Lucy love their visits from all the sitters! Thank you!!!
The Purr-fect Paw were amazing! We were able to leave our animals at home and they came to look after them twice a day (what we requested). They are careful to do everything you ask regarding food, water, litter tray and walking the dog. They will even play with your pets too. They take pictures and send them so you can see that everything is going well. Our pets did great with them and I think it was less disruptive for them to stay at the house. They also can text or message you through their online portal if they have any questions or if there is something they aren’t sure about. I loved getting the daily reports from them and felt confident our pets were in good hands. We will definitely use them again!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What pets do you care for?
Will I have the same sitter?
We strive to provide consistency in pet care by assigning the same sitter to your pets whenever possible. However, in some cases, depending on your pet care needs, it may be necessary to assign two or more sitters. Rest assured that each sitter assigned to care for your pet will have access to your pet care instructions to ensure that your pet(s) receive the same level of loving care every time.
How can I trust your sitters?
At The Purr-fect Paw, safety and security are paramount. We are committed to ensuring the safety and security of our clients, their pets, and their property. That’s why we conduct background checks on all of our sitters, and provide insurance and bonding for added protection. Additionally, our sitters must complete our Certified Pet Sitter program before being entrusted with the care of your pets. Our rigorous screening process ensures that you can trust us to provide reliable and trustworthy pet care services.
What does being a Certified Pet Sitter mean?
At The Purr-fect Paw, we take pet care seriously and strive to provide the best possible service. To ensure that our pet sitters and dog walkers are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge, we partner with a reputable third-party company called FetchFind. Our sitters undergo extensive training, watching 12-15 hours of educational material before they even begin their pet sitting duties. The courses cover a wide range of topics including feline fundamentals, canine behavior, communication, bite prevention, canine health and more. This comprehensive training enables our team to deliver professional and expert care to your beloved pets, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
What time will the sitter arrive at my home?
We can arrive before 8:00 AM or after 10:00 PM for an additional $7 per visit.
With your online account, you will be able to scheduled services in whatever time frames you prefer.
How will the sitters access my home?
To ensure security, we do not retain keys. During the first consultation, we provide the option to purchase a lockbox from us for $15, or you can provide your own. On the day of departure, you will leave the lockbox at a location of your choice and assign a four-digit combination.
If you have a garage or door keypad or any secure place to hide your key, a lockbox is unnecessary. We do not accept garage openers, and we do not hold keys in our office for your protection.
How do I know the sitter is actually showing up?
We use software that allows our sitters to scan in with our app once they arrive at your home. Upon the departure of every appointment, you’ll receive an email/text alert with a detailed report of the visit and lots of pet photos of your pets.
My pets require shots/medicine, can I still use your service?
Certainly! Our sitters are experienced and trained to administer almost any type of medication to your pets, provided that they are willing to take it. However, if you have concerns that your pet may resist taking their medication (such as hiding, biting, scratching, or spitting it out), please don’t hesitate to inform us so that we can work with you to find an alternative solution.
What if my dog is shy and doesn't react well with strangers?
While our sitters are well-trained in understanding a dog’s body language, we prioritize the safety and well-being of both your pet and our sitters. Therefore, we are unable to take on aggressive or extremely skittish dogs as we do not want to put anyone at risk or cause undue stress to your pet.
Rest assured that during the initial consultation, we will take the time to assess your dog’s behavior and provide our professional opinion. No need to worry; the majority of dogs do fantastic.
What happens in case of an emergency?
In the unlikely event of an emergency, we will immediately notify you and take appropriate action to ensure the safety of your pets and home. If we are unable to reach you, we will take necessary measures to address the situation. Please note that unless we are at fault for the emergency, all costs related to it will be your responsibility.
What happens if I live outside the service area?
If you live outside our service area, there is a Gas Surcharge of 0.50 cents per mile. This gas surcharge goes 100% to the sitter for the extra drive time and gas it takes to travel to your home. We do NOT provide pet care if you live more than 1-2 miles outside our service area.
Is there an extra charge for multiple pets?
We will NEVER charge you more for having multiple pets! We only charge for the amount of time our sitters spend taking care of your furry family.
Do you charge extra for holidays?
Yes, there is a $8 surcharge per visit on all major holidays including New Years Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
What if I need to book a last minute visit?
There is a $15 charge for same-day and a $5 charge for next-day requests which will go to the sitter who is available. However, we DO NOT guarantee that we can accommodate any last-minute request. If you are a new client, we must schedule a meet & greet 3 days before your first scheduled visit.
Once you are in our system we GUARANTEE availability if it’s at least 2 days before your first scheduled visit.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes, we offer a frequency discount. When you schedule 10+ visits in a single month you will get $1 off every visit.
We also offer 5% Discount when you pay in cash.
SCHEDULE YOUR FREE MEET & GREET
We understand that entrusting someone with the care of your beloved pets can be a stressful experience. That’s why we offer a FREE in-home consultation before any services are provided.
