Absolutely Pawsitive Professional Pet Care: Providing professional pet sitting in your home in Gilbert or Chandler Arizona

We make visits to your home. This way your pets are able to stay in their familiar surroundings, where they are comfortable.

As the owner of the business I take a great deal of pride in our services. I conduct all Initial Consultations myself so you are dealing directly with the owner. I also do most of the pet sitting myself. Since I can't be everywhere, I have hired a few of my friends to help me with pet sitting duties when needed. I have known all these people for at least 3 years! I do not hire strangers to pet sit. I don't advertise for sitters online or in the newspaper, or anywhere! I hand pick my friends who I trust to care for my own pets. I wouldn't let a stranger in my home and I certainly wouldn't let them in yours. All of my sitters are over the age of 35 and have undergone a thorough background investigation.

Visits consist of providing fresh water, food, playtime (indoor or outdoor, depending on weather) and lots of affection for your pet. We will also alternate lights, open/close blinds, collect mail and take out trash/recycle on scheduled days. We clean up pet waste from your backyard and during walks with your pet, as well as litter boxes daily.

The minimum amount of time we spend with your pet each visit is 30 minutes. More time per visit can be scheduled for an additional charge (refer to our Rates page). Overnight visits are between 10-12 hours and include everything that a standard visit includes.

Pet sitting is usually always the best option for your pet while you travel, because your pet can stay in his own safe environment, be on the same feeding schedule, sleep in his own bed, and not be around strange dogs and in a cage all day. A few reasons why pet sitting may not be the best option is if your dog is aggressive, suffers severe separation anxiety, or is under 1 year of age. Please give us a call to discuss whether or not pet sitting is appropriate for your young dog.

If your dog is contained indoors and is dependent on someone to let them out, 3 visits a day is recommended. For dogs that have access to the backyard via a doggy door, 2 visits a day works well. For healthy cats, 1 or 2 visits a day is usually sufficient. These are just guidelines, we are happy to adjust the number of visits however you would like.

As a general rule, we will not take pet sitting assignments where we are sharing the pet care responsibilities with a neighbor, friend, relative, or another pet sitter. This is for insurance reasons.

Definitely! A few days before you leave, we will call or email you to reconfirm departure/return dates and times and make sure there are no changes to the pet's routine, etc.

If you have a delayed flight or car trouble, rest assured; we will continue to care for your pets until you make it home safely. We require that you call us within 1 hour of your return home, no matter how late it is. If we do not hear from you by the time the next visit should occur, we will continue to make paid visits until you make it home. Our #1 priority is the well being of your pet!

Having your pet vaccinated is a good idea, whether or not you hire a pet sitter. With the controversy today about vaccinations, however, we only require that your dogs be vaccinated against Rabies.

We will collect veterinary information and discuss financial arrangements with you during the Initial Consultation. In case of medical emergency that requires veterinary attention, we will contact you (or your designated contact person) immediately to inform you of the situation. If we cannot reach you or your contact person, we will take whatever steps necessary to insure the well being of your pet.

There is always a backup sitter available to cover in case of an emergency. This is an added benefit of hiring a pet sitter who has a 'built-in' backup.

Absolutely! We can walk your dog during the day while you're at work, let a puppy out of its crate for a potty break and playtime, and check on an old or ill pet during the day. Also, if your backyard is off limits to the dog because of landscaping and/or construction, we can take your dog for a walk.

Absolutely! There may be a reduced rate for this, depending on your location and your needs.

Yes! Please contact us to discuss details. The price will depend on number of pets and how often you'd like us to come to your home.

For convenience purposes, we will make a copy of your key to use for future pet sitting assignments. When not in use, keys are kept in a lockbox and in a secure place. Keys are identified only by your pet's name and not by your last name or address. We keep a copy of your key for your convenience and in case you need emergency or last minute pet sitting.

Cash, personal checks, cashier's checks, money orders. We do not accept credit cards at this time .

Absolutely not. Having magnets or signage on a vehicle advertises to anybody driving by that you are out of town. We are discreet and want your home to be safe and secure.
