Pet care options during vacation time

Pet Sitting Services


Sometimes you want personalized, in-home care for your pet.  A one-on-one residential pet sitting service would be an option, where your pet is treated like a member of the family.  The pet sitter invites your pet or pets to stay in his or her home for the duration of your vacation.  There may be a discount if you only need an overnight stay (for a weekend trip).

Maybe you feel more comfortable leaving your pet at doggy day care than leaving him alone all day.  Maybe you need somewhere to take her when the cable guy comes by.  Some caregivers will even pick up or drop off your pet for day care services.   


Pet visits to your home are another option. The pet sitter can come to your home once or several times a day depending upon your typical schedule. This will allow your pet to keep it's normal routine, remain safe and comfortable and still receive exercise and personal care.

Leashrly Life provides all these services, plus pet exercise and dog obedience training.  Check out the website at http://www.leashrlylife.com/.

Customized Dog Training

Your dog's training should be based on its individual personality, past and present behavior, aptitude for learning, breed characteristics, social development, and most importantly your family's goals. Not each dog can fit into a singular "method" of training and therefore it is important to find a trainer that has the ability to modify your dog's training based on your dog and your goals. Your dog's training should be designed to teach your dog useful obedience commands, good manners, and acceptable behavior patterns. Your dog's training would not be complete without you, the owner, learning how to properly handle and effectively communicate with your dog.
