MULTIPLE OR SINGLE PET VISITS

PET SLEEPOVERS

Sleepovers with your pet dogs and cats (yes, cats!) are an added bonus for our petsitting professionals, who just can't get enough of these lovely animals during the work time hours (8am – 10pm).   Therefore, sleepovers begin at 10pm.

HOME SITTING

Home sitting is for clients that want us at their home for the majority of the day and night. 

This is a limited service and therefore subject to availability.

MEDICAL PET VISITS & STAYS

Licensed New York State veterinary technicians are available for the dogs and cats in need of medical attention. However, if your pet is seriously ill, we highly recommend that they be under close medical supervision at a veterinary hospital.  Medical visits are usually performed at 7 am and 7 pm for pets that are in need of insulin, hydration or other medical attention.

DAILY DOG EXERCISE WALKING

A DAILY 30-45 MINUTE DOGWALK HAS MANY ADVANTAGES FOR YOUR PET.  HERE ARE JUST SOME OF THEM:

 1.     STRUCTURED PLAYTIME

2.     BETTER HEALTH LEADING TO LESS COSTLY VISITS TO YOUR FAMILY   VETERINARIAN

3.     LESS BEHAVIORAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS, SUCH AS:

• HOWLING
• AGGRESSIVE BARKING
• LAWN DIGGING
• DESTRUCTIVE CHEWING
• EXCESSIVE DEMANDS FOR ATTENTION
• AGGRESSIVE OR FEARFUL BEHAVIOR TOWARDS STRANGERS

4.     INCREASED SOCIALIZATION SKILLS.

AEROBIC EXERCISE PROGRAMS

 This is a limited program that is offered to clients with high energy dogs.  These programs include biking, running and swimming with the dogs. Due to the extreme nature and for the safety of the dogs, all dogs must be thoroughly obedienced trained, both on and off leash.  In addition, these programs are offered on a seasonal basis. 

Why?

Because I'm not a great big "fan" of winter!

PUPPY TRAINING & HOUSBREAKING

Yes, we agree that all puppies are adorable!  When they first arrive, your whole being is elated with this little "bundle of joy", UNTIL.......

1. your first and continued VERY early wake ups come from a lonely, scared pup, who wants to be with you.
2. you come home to find your favorite pair of shoes, clothing furniture or cabinets is now your puppy's favorite chew toy.
3. you continue to find puppy "messes" all over his confined living space that you have provided so lovingly for him.  Or worse yet, he keeps soiling your carpet.
4. you can't seem to remember when you were "single", not "married" to your puppy.  And your friends begin to call just to make sure that you still exist!  
5. you begin receiving calls from New Jersey homeowners about the excessive howling from your lonesome puppy on Long Island - only kidding!!!
6. you find that this isn't as easy as you thought it might be - not kidding!!!

Well, welcome to reality! 

But your little "bundle of joy" can remain a little "bundle of joy" and grow up to be a big "bundle of joy", if you allow us to assist you with our puppy training and housebreaking programs.  We will address all of the above concerns and a whole lot more. 

Ask about our specially priced puppy training programs, which can include housebreaking, training and daily/weekly walking.  The old adage of "nipping a problem in the bud" definitely applies here.  Do not think that puppies outgrow their bad behaviors!  Like everything else, habits are formed from behavior, good and bad.  Please review our Obedience and Corrective Training to see why it's so important to train your puppy now.  And please, please remember that your hands are for loving ONLY.

ROUTINE AND EMERGENCY PET

TRANSPORTS

(LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY)

Love N Care Pet Transportation offers locally, scheduled and emergency transports to and from veterinarian offices, clinics, and "special needs" surgical hospitals. 

We will also transport your pet "babies" to any state via a climate controlled motorized vehicle, thus avoiding the tremendous stress of airplane flights, the administering of tranquilizers and possible loss or death of your beloved pet. 

For overnight transportations, we sleep with the pets in "pet friendly" hotels.  And during the daytime travel hours, we walk and play with those dogs that want or need a little extra love and attention.  We are with your "babies" 24 hours a day. 

If your pet needs regular medical attention, we will gladly have a licensed medical practioner available for the transport.  When you arrive at your destination, your pets will be waiting for you - happy, contented and full of life! 

State and national transportation is a highly variable cost service.  When calling, we will need various details, such as number of pets, beginning and ending destinations, pet's adaptability for long travel trips in a motorized vehicle, pet's medical concerns and general overall health.

" DOODY DUTY "

This service is primarily offered to clients of Love N Care Pet Sitting Service only. 

Exceptions to the rule can always be made.
