Let our mature, responsible, loving Pet Sitters care for your pets while you're away.
Going out of town for a few days, for an extended vacation, or simply for a weekend? Our Sitters come to your home where your pets are most comfortable to make your absence a bit less traumatic. We also give you the added security of someone regularly visiting your home.
Don't have any pets? We will water your plants, collect your newspapers and mail, turn lights on and off, open and close blinds and drapes, making your home look lived in to allow you peace of mind.
Work long hours? Or perhaps you simply don't have the time or ability to exercise your dog as much as you'd like. Not all dogs are good candidates for Day Care. We give your pets a break in the middle of the day.
How do you begin? Call Dunk N Dogs to set up a required Initial Interview for one of our Sitters to meet you and your pet(s). Initial Interviews conducted in-home require a non-refundable fee of $10. Initial Interviews conducted at Dunk N Dogs are free.*
