Pet-Sitting Services

 

InBark is pleased to now offer Pet-Sitting Services!

Maybe your dog is more comfortable at home when you are away.With InBark's Pet-Sitting Service your dog will still get plenty of atttention without having to leave home. Our trained dog-walkers will make scheduled trips out to your house to feed, walk, love, and play with your pet. Except for bedtime, your dog will never be left alone for over four hours. We will keep a log of notes for your dog that documents each of our visits and their activities. We will fetch the mail and newspaper daily, so there will be no need to cancel those services or worry about the mailbox getting too full! We will also rotate lights and open or close blinds as an added security measure while you are away. Let us know when trash pick-up is scheduled, and we will take the bins to the curb for you. And while our specialty may be dogs, we will be happy to care for your cats and other animals (and plants!) each visit as well! We are happy to make special accommodations on a case-by-case basis, so whatever your needs may be, just ask!

InBark understands how important your dog's comfort is while you are away from home. If boarding is not the right option for your dog, InBark's Pet-Sitting service will allow your dog to remain in your own home while you are away. InBark offers two Pet-Sitting options to suit any dog's needs.

Option A:

Our first pet-sitting option includes four visits to your pet each day. Services provided include feeding your animals and providing fresh water, administering medications, two 30-minute walks each day, potty breaks and play time, drying off your dog and its paws if it is raining or muddy, and providing top-level care and love for your pet. Rates also include services for your home while you are away, including bringing in the mail and any packages, rotating lights in the house, opening/closing the blinds, watering indoor plants, and placing your garbage bins at the curb for pick-up. The schedule for Option A looks like this:
