Pet Sitting

This is how it all began… Must Love Pawz first offered in-home pet visits long before it offered boarding and daycare! With pet sitting, we will travel to your home and care for your pets. This can include cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, aquariums, chickens, chinchillas, ferrets and many more! Pet sitting visits are offered to clients on vacation, as well as clients who just have a long day and want a midday break for their pet. This is also a great alternative for clients who are more comfortable with their pets being at home rather than in a boarding / daycare setting.

We offer a complimentary new client meeting to discuss your pet’s care plan and become acquainted with each other. Each pet visit is concluded with a detailed e-journal sent to your email letting you know how the visit went and that all is well at home.

Services

We service any homes within 10 miles of our daycare facility (according to Google Maps). Our facility is located at 9 Northway Lane North, Latham, NY 12110.

  • Walks: Does your pup need to get some exercise and fresh air during the day? Walks are 30-minute visits where we will bring your pup on a walk around the neighborhood. Feeding and medications can be included within the 30 minutes if desired!

  • Leadership Walks: Leadership walks are individual walks where we specifically focus on loose leash walking and good manners. We use treats (owner provided or our own) to lure and reward the dogs for walking on a loose leash and ignoring distractions. A harness or other proper leash walking equipment is recommended.
  • Vacation Drop In Visits: Vacation Drop In Visits are 30 minutes and include fresh water and feeding/medications, potty time, play time and plenty of love and attention! These are specifically for when you are out of town.
  • Daily Drop In Visits: Daily Drop In Visits are 30 minutes and include feeding, medications, potty, play time, and lots of love. These are a great option if you have to be out of the house all day but will still be in town!
