Each visit includes GPS verification for real-time tracking and personalized notes about your dog's behavior and bathroom habits. We maintain individual attention by walking only one household's dogs at a time.

All cat sitting appointments receive GPS confirmation and detailed visit reports with photos of your feline companion.
