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 maybe you have too many dogs. No more inconveniences dropping off and picking up again.

Available Everyday

We take the time and hassle out of finding the purr-fect care for your pets. We're available whenever and wherever you need us – even during the holidays!

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.

"The Purr-fect Paw is wonderful! I have used their services for over two years and am super pleased. It is always comforting knowing the fur babies are taken care of when we are gone. Now they stay at home where they are comfy and I get daily updates via text with pics assuring me they are ok."

Jana C.
★★★★★

"I highly recommend The Purr-fect Paw. They have cared for our cats many times. Most impressive, the first time they cat-sat, I forgot to let them know when we made it back — and since they hadn't heard from us, they came by to double check that Tom was okay."

Rebecca F.
★★★★★

"So grateful for Purrfect Paw! We don't worry about anything when we go out of town — they take amazing care of our pups and house! They've helped with house emergencies and been so very easy to work with. I seriously don't know how we'd travel without them!!"

Kristal L.
★★★★★

"The Purrfect Paw is totally amazing! After I adopted my rescue cat, I was worried about boarding her. I love how they come check on my cat at home so she stays comfortable. I absolutely trust Purrfect Paw to take care of my precious cat."

Ella H.
★★★★★

"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. We will definitely use them again!"

Mary D.
★★★★★

"The Purr-fect Paw takes care of my horses when we are out of town. The group takes time to read all the details of each animal to ensure proper care. They are extremely timely in their visits, they notify you when they are there and when they leave, and then send a full report. It sure takes the anxiety away from leaving your loved animals!! So thankful for their service."

Patti B.
★★★★★

"We have used The Purr-fect Paw for over 2 years. Every time we come home to 2 well cared for golden retrievers. I receive emails letting me know when a visit begins and ends 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!"

Martha B.
★★★★★

"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! My dogs Remi and Maggie as well as my cat Lucy love their visits from all the sitters!"

Samantha S.
★★★★★

"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. 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!"

Tanner O.
★★★★★

"A terrifically organized & personal pet-care service. You know who's with your pet & what exactly is going on and that your pet is being well cared for. The care-givers do more than the minimum tasks, they pay attention to details & connect to the pet & it shows. The app is easy to use & communication with the staff & sitters is seamless. We're very happy!"

Michele A-T.
★★★★★

"The Purr-Fect Paw has been a true blessing. They are always on time and treat your pets like family. I truly believe they go above and beyond. We never have to worry if our furry friends are being taken care of. I would recommend them over taking your pets to the boarder."

Justin O.
★★★★★

"Purr-fect Paw is a great at-home pet service. I've been using them with my cats for 3 years and recently added a dog to the mix. Their service continues to be outstanding. I especially appreciate that they text you when they arrive and send pictures from the visit. It provides peace of mind while we're out of town."

Chris C.
★★★★★

"The Purr-fect Paw has been a life-saver for me! I have been a customer for over 10 years and they are always ready to take care of my 4 indoor cats and 1 outdoor dog. I get detailed reports, including photos, every day while I am away from home. I feel so much better that my pets are being taken care of when I have to leave home!! Very reasonable pricing and very caring people!"

Patricia B.
★★★★★

"We use them every time we take a trip and can't bring our dog. They do an excellent job with taking care of our pet and even bring our mail/packages inside. The daily text updates and photos are the best part — we always know when they arrive/depart, receive several photos of our pet each day, and detailed updates. Highly recommend!"

Emily E.
★★★★★

"We have been using the Purr-fect Paw pet service for more than 6 years. We have always been more than pleased with their services. With our dog and cats both. From medication to extra attention, they have covered it all. Easy app to use, reliable communication. Highly recommend Purr-fect Paw Pet service."

Frequently Asked Questions

We take care of all pets! Dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, snakes, and many other different pets.
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.
At The Purr-fect Paw, safety and security are paramount. 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.
At The Purr-fect Paw, we take pet care seriously. We partner with a reputable third-party company called FetchFind. Our sitters undergo extensive training, watching 12–15 hours of educational material before they begin their pet sitting duties. The courses cover feline fundamentals, canine behavior, communication, bite prevention, canine health and more.
If you live outside our service area, there is a Gas Surcharge of $0.25 per mile. We do not provide pet care if you live more than 3 miles outside our service area.
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.
We use Time to Pet, a software that allows our sitters to scan in with the 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 photos of your pets.
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. If you have concerns that your pet may resist taking their medication, please let us know so that we can work with you to find an alternative solution.
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. We are unable to take on aggressive or extremely skittish dogs. During the initial consultation, we will assess your dog's behavior and provide our professional opinion. The majority of dogs do fantastic.
In the rare event of an emergency, your pet's safety is our top priority. We will contact you right away and take all appropriate steps to protect your pets and home. If we are unable to reach you, we will act in your pet's best interest using our best judgment. Unless the emergency was caused by our actions, any associated costs will be your responsibility.
The earliest we arrive is between 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM, and the latest timeframe is between 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM. We can arrive between 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM or after 10:00 PM for an additional $10 per visit. With your online account, you will be able to schedule services in whatever time frames you prefer.
There is a $20 charge for same-day and a $15 charge for next-day requests. We do not guarantee that we can accommodate any last-minute request as this will depend on sitter availability. 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.
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.
Minor Holiday Surcharge – Easter Sunday, 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day: $10 per visit. Major Holiday Surcharge – Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve & Christmas Day: $20 per visit.
Yes, we offer 3 different discounts!

Single Pet Discount – Only have 1 pet? Take 10% off your entire invoice!

Daily Discount – When scheduling 10+ visits in a single month, receive 5% off your invoice!

Cash Discount – We also offer a 5% discount when you pay in cash.
