Our Pet Sitting Services

Care You Can Count On

What to expect from a Zen Paws pet sitting visit

Our sitters greet your pets with love, follow your instructions, and keep you in the loop through the Time To Pet app. Any service below can be added to a visit.

A basic visit lasts 30 minutes, and every pet is treated like family. If you’re traveling, we’ll confirm your safe arrival home. If we don’t hear from you in the app, we’ll call or stop by so no pet is ever left unattended.

Greet and Settle

Some love first. If a pet is afraid, we take our time until they feel comfortable.

Walk or Potty Break

Our first priority is a walk or potty break, as you specify.

Your Instructions

Food, water, and anything else you have asked for.

Notes and Photos

Added to the app after each visit, with photos on request.

Secure the Home

Your pet is secured and the door is locked when we leave.

Safe-Arrival Check

After a vacation, we confirm you are home safely so no pet is left unattended.

Sittings & Visits

Care in your home, on your schedule, from a single visit to a full stay.

Overnight and house sitting include mail, lights, blinds, trash bins, and plant watering. Sitters never eat or smoke in your home, and no one but your scheduled sitter will enter.

Pet Sitting

We greet your pets, take them out for a walk or potty break, and follow your instructions. Afterward, we add notes (and photos, if requested) to the Time To Pet app and lock up.

Overnight Pet Sitting

Includes a mid-day walk/visit, and we make your home look lived in while you're away. We treat your home as if it were our own.

House Sitting

We handle the tasks that make your home look lived in, like mail, blinds, lights, and plants. We suggest one visit per day.

On Call Services

For last-minute "rescues," like running late getting home from work or an event. Bookings made within 24 hours carry an additional fee, so call (888) 513-5445 to learn more.

Walks

We skip extended walks in extreme heat or cold because we never want to harm your pet. Under those conditions, your sitter spends the visit with your pets indoors.

Dog Walking

A basic walk/visit lasts 30 minutes, whether for one pet or several. Ideally the walk itself is 10 to 15 minutes, with the rest spent on other tasks.

Power Walks

Adds 15 minutes to the basic 30-minute walk/visit for pets who need a little more exercise.

Marathon Walks

For the times your pet needs even more exercise, this adds 30 minutes to the basic 30-minute walk/visit.

Additional Dogs

Have more than one dog? An additional fee applies for each extra dog included in a pet sitting visit.

Birds, Cats & Other Pets

Pets who are happiest at home, including those a kennel can't take.

Whether it's one pet or several, the visit procedure stays the same. Each additional pet included in a pet sitting visit carries an additional fee.

Birds & Bunnies

Birds and pet bunnies can be included in a pet sitting visit. An additional fee applies.

Cats & Guinea Pigs

Cats and pet guinea pigs can be included in a pet sitting visit. An additional fee applies.

Fish & Other

Fish and other pets can be included in a pet sitting visit. An additional fee applies.

Grooming & Health

Everyday upkeep and medication, handled during a regular visit.

These services are very pet specific, and some dogs simply don't enjoy teeth brushing. A brush out is basic fur maintenance rather than a full grooming.

Nail Trims and Ear Cleaning

Our sitters trim nails in your home using a Dremel to sand, a slower and safer method than clippers. Ear cleaning is available for an additional fee, and we suggest both every 2 to 4 weeks.

Teeth Brushing

We brush all accessible areas with enzymatic toothpaste to protect teeth and gums and freshen breath. A warm-cloth facial follows to help prevent stains. We suggest at least once a week.

Brush Out

Basic fur maintenance, averaging 15 minutes and including grooming spray or conditioner. Great between groomer visits to lower dander and shedding, and we suggest once or twice a week.

Medication Administration

Sitters trained in most medications can give oral or eye medication for a small additional fee, following your specific instructions. Injections are available for an additional fee.

Around the Home

These extras are added to your regular visit and done in accordance with your instructions. Each one helps keep your day a little easier.

Yard Pick Up

Done during your regular visit and following your instructions. We scoop with your tools into your container and dispose of waste where you choose, for far less than hiring another provider.

Fetch

Want your dog to get some extra playtime? Fetch can be added to your visit for an extra fee.

Key Pick-Up & Return

Need us to pick up or return keys? This can be added to your visit for an extra fee.

A small additional fee applies to extras such as late evening visits, early morning visits, holiday visits, and medication administration.

Loving, reliable pet care that keeps your pets happy, comfortable, and cared for at home.
