  What do you do when you come?    
 
  • First thing is greet your pets, put the mail and newspapers in their proper place, and take the dogs outside. 

  • Next, it’s mealtime.  While the pets are eating, I check the home for tipped over furnishings, accidents, and anything I feel may pose a hazard to your pets while they’re alone. 

  • Once mealtime is over, I wash the pets’ dishes and, if opted, take the dogs on a walk. 

  • The rest of the time we play or cuddle, depending on what your pets want to do. 

  • Right before I leave, the dogs are let outside again and, if needed, the trash bins are set out for pick-up.

  • For pets that don’t require walks and being let outside, we mainly just socialize.  We converse, and animals are pet, played with, and cuddled.  Most horses are pretty content walking together in the pasture, getting their ears scratched and being brushed.  Ferrets and other rodents (rabbits, hamsters, etc.) love interactive playtime. 

If you have never used a pet sitter before, ask about our “demo” visit to better illustrate what your specific visit will entail.

  Are Overnight stays available?    
 

Not currently, no. However, Noah's Ark will make visits to your home as frequently as you wish between 7am -10pm.  You may also request longer visits.

  How far in advance should I schedule a reservation?    
 

Scheduling your reservation 1-2 months in advance is ideal, but is not required nor is it always realistic.  Keep in mind that during peak business times, such as Christmas and summer vacation months, the earlier your reservation is placed, the better the chances are that your dates and times are available.  Services needed on short notice may or may not be available.

  Are you bonded and insured?    
 

Yes.  You can rest assured knowing your pet sitter is bonded, insured, and a member of Pet Sitters International!
