Pet Sitting
Dog Walking
General
Yes. We specialize in providing consistent, routine-based care that helps reduce stress and supports anxious pets in their home environment. We see lots of rescue pets in our roster specifically, and know they need extra time to get accustomed. Our team is trained in Dog Body Language so we can best support your nervous or anxious dog. We also have a Dog Trainer on our team who advises staff members when needed. Note: we do not accept dogs who present a danger to themselves, others, or our staff.
Visit frequency is fully customized and may include daily drop-in visits, vacation care schedules, extended pet sitting coverage, or structured care plans depending on your pet's needs. Let us know your typical routine, and we are happy to help you build a plan that works best for your animal family!
Yes. We provide professional cat care including feeding, litter box maintenance, enrichment, medication support when needed, and individualized attention based on your cat's comfort level. Kitties require different care than dogs, and our staff is trained to focus on small changes in behavior and litter box deviations that can point to larger issues that cats often hide.
Hand and Hound does not generally provide traditional live-in care. As an employee-based professional pet care company, we design services around pets' actual needs rather than continuous occupancy. Many pets do extremely well with customized visit schedules, extended pet sitting, or overnight options when appropriate. Our approach prioritizes safe staffing practices, routine, reliability, and individualized care. See our blog post on why we use employees over 1099 independently contracted workers!
