Care You Can Count On

What to expect from a Zen Paws pet sitting visit

Our sitters greet your pets with love, follow your instructions, and keep you in the loop through the Time To Pet app. Any service below can be added to a visit.

A basic visit lasts 30 minutes, and every pet is treated like family. If you’re traveling, we’ll confirm your safe arrival home. If we don’t hear from you in the app, we’ll call or stop by so no pet is ever left unattended.

Start with a Meet and Greet

We require every new client to meet their primary sitter before the first scheduled visit. This in-person greeting allows your pets to get comfortable with a new face while you walk us through your home and daily care routines.

Initial Inquiry

Contact us with your travel dates and service requests. We'll verify availability and assign your dedicated primary sitter.

Meet & Greet Visit

Your primary sitter visits your home before the service starts. You'll introduce your pets, review care instructions, and set up house access.

Custom Care Routine

During scheduled visits, your sitter carries out all feeding, playtime, exercise, and health checks as planned.

Messaging & Updates

Receive photo updates and notes after visits. Send a quick message anytime if you'd like a safe arrival check-in from your sitter.

Supply Fetch (Optional)

If supplies run short during an extended stay, we'll pick up extra food or medication so your pets don't miss a beat.

Dog Sitting Visits

Our dog visits keep your pup active and content on their usual schedule. Every visit features energetic walks or yard time, fresh water, customized feeding, and direct photo updates so you always know how your dog is doing.

Pet Sitting

We greet your pets, take them out for a walk or potty break, and follow your instructions. Afterward, we add notes (and photos, if requested) to the Time To Pet app and lock up.

Overnight Pet Sitting

Includes a mid-day walk/visit, and we make your home look lived in while you're away. We treat your home as if it were our own.

House Sitting

We handle the tasks that make your home look lived in, like mail, blinds, lights, and plants. We suggest one visit per day.

On Call Services

For last-minute "rescues," like running late getting home from work or an event. Bookings made within 24 hours carry an additional fee, so call (888) 513-5445 to learn more.

Walks

We skip extended walks in extreme heat or cold because we never want to harm your pet. Under those conditions, your sitter spends the visit with your pets indoors.

Dog Walking

A basic walk/visit lasts 30 minutes, whether for one pet or several. Ideally the walk itself is 10 to 15 minutes, with the rest spent on other tasks.

Power Walks

Adds 15 minutes to the basic 30-minute walk/visit for pets who need a little more exercise.

Marathon Walks

For the times your pet needs even more exercise, this adds 30 minutes to the basic 30-minute walk/visit.

Additional Dogs

Have more than one dog? An additional fee applies for each extra dog included in a pet sitting visit.

Birds, Cats & Other Pets

Cats, birds, and small animals receive gentle, attentive care tailored to their routines. We structure our rates affordably for these species; your first two cats or small pets share the same base price as a single dog visit.

Birds & Bunnies

Birds and pet bunnies can be included in a pet sitting visit. An additional fee applies.

Cats & Guinea Pigs

Cats and pet guinea pigs can be included in a pet sitting visit. An additional fee applies.

Fish & Other

Fish and other pets can be included in a pet sitting visit. An additional fee applies.

Grooming & Health Care

Maintain your pet's wellness routine seamlessly while you're away. This specialized service covers daily medication administration, routine health checks, basic brushing, and coat care to keep your pet healthy, comfortable, and stress-free throughout our stay.

Nail Trims and Ear Cleaning

Our sitters trim nails in your home using a Dremel to sand, a slower and safer method than clippers. Ear cleaning is available for an additional fee, and we suggest both every 2 to 4 weeks.

Teeth Brushing

We brush all accessible areas with enzymatic toothpaste to protect teeth and gums and freshen breath. A warm-cloth facial follows to help prevent stains. We suggest at least once a week.

Brush Out

Basic fur maintenance, averaging 15 minutes and including grooming spray or conditioner. Great between groomer visits to lower dander and shedding, and we suggest once or twice a week.

Medication Administration

Sitters trained in most medications can give oral or eye medication for a small additional fee, following your specific instructions. Injections are available for an additional fee.

Around the Home

These extras are added to your regular visit and done in accordance with your instructions. Each one helps keep your day a little easier.

Yard Pick Up

Done during your regular visit and following your instructions. We scoop with your tools into your container and dispose of waste where you choose, for far less than hiring another provider.

Fetch Supply Delivery

Running low on food, medication, or litter while you're out? If shipping isn't an option, our sitters will visit your preferred local store, purchase your specified pet items, and deliver them safely right to your door.

Key Pick-Up & Return

Need us to pick up or return keys? This can be added to your visit for an extra fee.

Additional Fees Policy

Standard rates apply to regular weekday visits.
Additional fees apply for weekend visits and recognized holidays. Routine medication administration is included under Grooming & Health Care at no extra charge.

Loving, reliable pet care that keeps your pets happy, comfortable, and cared for at home.
