Private Dog Walks
Private walks are great for new puppies, elderly dogs, and dogs that prefer "their own space". Private walks are on-leash, occur in your own neighborhood, and last about 15 minutes.

Also included is feeding and fresh water, as well as waste cleanup. Your dog is guaranteed to receive lots of love and attention!

Daily Pet Visits
Daily pet visits are a great relief for those who travel a lot, work long hours, or are simply taking a well-deserved vacation.

Visits are available for any type of pet (dogs, cats, fish, horses, birds etc.) and include feeding, play/walking, lots of attention, and simple home maintenance like plant watering, rotating lights and blinds, bringing in mail and newspapers. Visits can be a good deterrent for potential burglars, and help keep your pets safe, well fed and loved.

Pet Taxi
Let us transport your pets to and from your pet's veterinarian, groomer, trainer or other location. Just give us a call and we'll make your pet's travel arrangements!

Home Care
You don't have pets but would like to have your home and yard maintained in your absence? No problem!

Park Ridge Home Pet Care Services will keep your home and yard in order until your return. We'll water your plants, bring in your mail and newspapers, and rotate lights and blinds to keep your home looking occupied and help deter burglars.

Looking for A Pet Sitter FAQs

Q. Why should I consider a pet sitter?
A. Pet sitting is one of the best answers for your pet care needs, whether you are going on holiday, have taken ill or are a busy professional who can't always be available to care for your best friends.

Q. What services can you provide?
A. We provide personalised visiting for all pets so they can stay in their own home while owners are away, a regular or occasional dog walking service and daily visits to homes for people who do not own pets.
All pets are cared for using our professional & respected standards.

Q. How many times do you visit?
A. As many times as the client requires.

Q. What about security?
A. All pet carers are security checked.
We are members of Pet Sitters International & work closely with local police officers, neighbourhood watch & local community groups.
This has proven to be an added deterrent against domestic break-ins, as well as providing a flexible and confidential service.

Q. How much do you charge?
A. The charges will depend on the number and type of pets, your specific
requirements and the frequency of the visits.
Please provide us with as much information as possible and we will be more than happy to give you price range indications, subject to a more thorough pet assessment.

Q. How do I set up services for my pet or home?
A. Before we are able to accept any bookings, we need to carry out a pet care assessment. The first step is a FREE meet and greet where we discuss exactly what your needs are and the timetable that you are looking at. This gives you an opportunity to meet us and we to meet you and your pets and you can see how we interact with them.
It typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
If required, KEYS are preferably collected on this visit or a $10.00 fee is charged for return visit to collect.
Understanding your wants and needs regarding your pets and/or home is our priority and will allow us to provide the highest level of care in your absence.

Q. Is there a lot of paperwork?
A. No. The only paperwork required is a basic information sheet (service agreement) that contains name, address, pets names, requested services to include dates, name and phone number of family vet and emergency phone numbers

Q. Will you give medication to my pet?
A. Yes, our pet carers have experience giving medication. Please give instructions how the medication is given.

Q. Are there any other pet care services that you can provide?
A. Please contact us to find out details about all the services we offer.

Q. When do I pay?
A. Payment arrangements can be discussed. Typically after our meet and greet you will have the information sheet to fill out. We will have designated a place to leave that plus payment in full upon your first scheduled pet sit.
Regular clients may leave full payment during the start of each week's pet sit in a designated location in your home.

Q. Do you charge extra for public holidays?
A. No.

Q. Can you keep my key?
A. Yes, if you request it. Each key is coded and kept secure.
Many regular clients already do this.

Q. What forms of payment do you accept?
A. Cash, cheque and direct deposit.

Q. Will people I do not know come into my home?
A. The pet sitter you interviewed will be the only person allowed into your home unless the pet sitter has an unexpected illness or emergency. Then, and only then, will the "back up" pet sitter be permitted to enter the home to care for your pets.

Q. What will happen if I am delayed and unable to return on the date planned?
A. Notify us as soon as possible so there is no decline in the quality of pet care. Any additional visits will be added to the agreed amount in the service agreement.

Q. Why should I hire a PSI member as my pet sitter?
