8 Advantages of Choosing Scooterpaws

Every visit includes these perks.

1. Comforts of home vs. a kennel

Pets crave familiar scents, toys and nap spots, so going to a kennel is stressful on them. Staying in their home and in my care can make their adjustment to your leaving easier, and avoids kennel cough and other infections and parasites.

2. Animals love routine

While you're away, I'll make sure your pets have their regular meals, treats, potty breaks and walks, and plenty of fresh water. Routine reassures animals that all's well.

3. Avoid awkwardly asking a friend for pet care

Instead of hoping your well-meaning relative or neighbor remembers, let a reliable professional care for your furry ones.

4. Litterbox tidiness and potty breaks

To help avoid litterbox accidents and related stress, cats need a clean litter area and welcome my thorough tidying. And dogs need their potty breaks and enjoy our scheduled walks.

5. Animal shenanigans

Bored animals get into mischief with plants and furnishings. I'll shift that impulse to fun enrichment games and tummy rubs.

6. Health concerns

If there’s a known health concern, I'll monitor it and stay in touch with you about that and any other issue that may come up.

7. The house looks occupied

As your dependable pet sitter, my coming and going deters crime. I'll rotate lights and bring in mail, papers and packages so they don't pile up and attract attention. If there’s a power outage or another surprise, I'll let you know so we can handle things promptly.

8. Loving care
