About Our Pet Sitting Service.
​
Pawsatively Golden's pet care providers, whose clients have lovingly dubbed, "Pet Butlers" offer a full range of services to make sure your pets are well taken care of. If there’s something specific your pet needs that isn’t on our list, get in touch and we’ll be happy to help. Our services are usually booked well in advance, so be sure to lock us in for all of your pet care needs!
​
No two pets are the same which is why we customize our services to meet the needs of your pets. You’ll provide us detailed care instructions for your pets and we promise to follow them. You’ll never have to worry about the care your pets are receiving.
​
We are a full service in-home pet sitting company and we’ll provide fresh food, water, playtime, a brief walk, tons of kisses and cuddles, brushing, bring in the mail and packages, perform a home security check, rotate lights and check for water leaks.
​
We care for dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles, snakes, small animals and many farm animals including horses, mules, donkeys, goats, pigs and chickens.
For starters, we are fully licensed, bonded and insured. Our Pet Butlers undergo a rigorous background check before being allowed into your home.
In addition, our pet care providers are employees, not independent contractors. This means we have trained each sitter and we hold them to the standards that our client base has gotten to know and expect from Pawsatively Golden Pet Care, LLC. Not many local pet sitting companies use employees. This means they ultimately have no control over how their contractor carries out a job.
Our industry leading scheduling software keeps track of our Pet Butlers at all times. We know where they are and when they visit your home. If they aren’t on time, management is promptly notified so we can activate our backup plans. In addition, you will receive an alert via our mobile app when your Pet Butler has arrived at your home and you’ll receive a detailed report card and pictures at the conclusion of the visit.
You will be assigned a primary Pet Butler based on the needs of your dog. We assign butlers that will best fit the personality of your dog. While we try to keep the same butler on all visits, we may utilize additional staff members to provide coverage in the event your primary butler is unavailable.
We are a full service pet sitting and home care business. We will refresh your pet’s food and water, administer medications, provide playtime, walks if needed, lots of love and cuddles, home security check, check for water leaks around your appliances and toilets, bring in newspapers, packages and the mail, rotate lights and blinds to give your home a live-in look, and water plants.
Our online reviews speak for themselves. Please feel free to check them out before making a decision to hire us. If you’re still not convinced, we are happy to put you in touch with some of our clients who are happy to recommend us.
We customize our services to meet the needs of your pets. As a general guideline, puppies require a visit every few hours. Adult puppies require a visit 2-4 times daily. Most clients choose 2 or 3 visits, but we find that 3 visits per day is optimal. Cats require at least 1 visit per day. We do not provide every other day visits for cats.
We have vast experience caring for a wide variety of pets. There aren’t many animals we don’t care for. We care for dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, guinea pigs, chinchillas, ferrets, mice, prairie dogs, sugar gliders, bearded dragons, and most common farm animals including horses, mules, donkeys, goats, pigs, and chickens. Have another animal we haven’t listed? Just ask.
Pet sitting in your home is the ultimate in luxury for your pets and convenience for you. Our services are fully customizable according to your pet’s needs. We are a full-time professional business that takes your pet’s safety seriously. We are certified in pet first aid and CPR, fully licensed, bonded and insured and this level of dependability, professionalism and peace of mind is priceless. Many people are often surprised at how inexpensive this level of care can be.
For homes with multiple pets, we are especially cost effective when compared to placing your pets in a kennel or boarding facility.
