Out of the Dog House provides reliable, personalized at-home care for your pets when you cannot be there.  We will come into your home so you are able to leave your pet in their own environment with familiar sights, smells and sounds.  We will try to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and we determine this at our initial meeting. 

During the visit we will feed your pet, if it is a designated feeding time, offer your pet fresh water, exercise or play with your pet and administer basic medications, if needed.   

We spend quality time with your cat, dog, guinea pig, rabbit, hamster, or bird, just playing, petting and giving lots of attention.   We offer 20 minute and 30 minute visits and if more time is required, just ask and we will provide additional time, if needed. 

We are insured and our prices are based on the amount of time we spend with your pet(s), not the number of pets.  We feel you are paying for our time and if we can accomplish all our tasks within the allotted time, we do not need to charge for additional pets.    

We offer a free initial meeting so we can meet you and your pets and you can meet us.  It allows us the opportunity to see the home and see where relevant items are located.  We feel that by visiting with the owner present we can start to form a positive relationship with your pet.  During the initial visit we will also review forms and answer any questions you may have.

We gladly provide references to you and encourage you to call or email our references so that you will feel comfortable leaving a valued family member in our care. 

Our goal is to treat your pets like our own and make your absence as comfortable as possible for your pets.
