• Dog Walks: Weekly walks provide essential mental stimulation, easing boredom and anxiety, and contributing to a well-balanced dog. Each visit includes outdoor exercise, fresh water, and photo/text updates.
• Cat Care: Experienced sitters provide food, water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and cuddles in the comfort of the cat's own home.
