Why Pets Are Happier at Home
For many pets, there really is no place like home. The most comforting thing we can give our pets while we’re away is the chance to stay right where they’re happiest.
Staying in their own familiar surroundings means:
• Their routine stays consistent
• No unfamiliar boarding environment
• Less disruption while you’re away
• One-on-one attention
• Their own beds, toys, smells, and favorite spots
Why Choose Peaks Pet Nanny
We understand how personal it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, because we’re pet parents too. Many of our Pet Nannies are even Peaks clients themselves.
Since 2004, we’ve built our business around a simple idea: helping fellow pet parents keep the animals they love happy and comfortable at home, with caring Pet Nannies and a local team supporting them along the way.
Your Pet’s Happiness Is Our Business
Frequently Asked Questions
How long are pet sitting visits?
We offer 30, 45, and 60-minute visits, depending on your pets’ routine and needs. Puppies, senior pets, multi-pet households, and pets needing a little extra attention may benefit from longer or more frequent visits.
How many visits will my pet need each day?
Every pet is different, so we’ll help you determine a schedule that makes sense for yours. For dogs, we typically recommend 3–4 visits spaced throughout the day: morning, afternoon, dinner, and bedtime. Puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs may need a different schedule.
What happens during a pet sitting visit?
Visits are customized around your pets and may include walks or potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, medication when needed, litter box care, and cleanup of pet-related accidents. We can also bring in mail and packages and provide basic plant care while you’re away.
Will I know when my Pet Nanny has visited?
Yes. Our Pet Nannies use our pet-care software to check in and check out, creating a time-stamped record of each visit. You’ll also receive a thoughtful update after the visit, along with a photo or video whenever possible.
Will I meet my Pet Nanny before I leave?
Yes. A Meet & Greet gives you, your pets, and your Pet Nanny a chance to get acquainted before care begins. It’s also an opportunity to review routines, feeding, medications, home access, and all those little details that make your pets feel at home.
Will the same Pet Nanny care for my pets?
Our philosophy is to keep care consistent with your primary Pet Nanny. Longer appointments may involve more than one Pet Nanny, and if backup coverage is needed, we’ll coordinate it and offer a Meet & Greet beforehand.
Can you give my pet medication?
In many cases, yes. Please let us know about medications and any special care needs when scheduling so we can determine whether we’re able to accommodate them and match your pet with an appropriate Pet Nanny.
Do you care for puppies and senior pets?
Yes. We care for pets at many different stages of life and tailor visits around their routines and individual needs. Puppies may need more frequent potty breaks and playtime, while senior pets may appreciate a slower pace, medication support, or a little extra TLC.
What if I have more than one pet?
No problem. We care for plenty of multi-pet households. An additional $ 5 pet fee per visit applies, and we can help you choose a visit length that allows enough time to comfortably care for everyone.
