I was pet sitting in Chandler for a pack of pets the other day, dogs and cats, and thinking about how different they can be. Dogs are soooo goofy and carefree, while cats are more dignified, refined and seemingly haughty and indifferent. And I wondered, if each of them wrote a letter to Santa, what […]

Dogs are fantastic companions and they make a wonderful addition to any family. But whether you already have children or intend to have babies in the future, the importance of dog safety around children and babies can’t be understated. Even when you think ‘my’ dog would never hurt anyone, the reality is most dogs, if […]
Well, it looks like there is another recall that is pet food related out there. This time it will affect many people as it is distributed through a major pet food store, PetSmart. And since your Mesa dog walker loves to pass out treats to the fur babies we walk, we wanted to be sure […]
Being a cat sitter in Chandler is great fun. We get to spend time snuggling fluffy faces, brushing soft fur babies, playing with mice and wand toys with your cats, and giving lots of treats (with pet parent permission, of course).

We’re dog pet sitters, cat sitters, ferret sitters, rabbit sitters, goat sitters, chicken sitters; well you get the idea.

Have you ever poured fresh litter into your cat’s litterbox and seen or smelled the cloud of dust that plumes up? I’m sure you’ve coughed a few times if you were too close! This could actually be potentially detrimental to your health or your kitty’s health. Not only do you both inhale this dust, but your cat will […]
If you’ve never experienced your cat around cat nip, you’re in for a treat. What exactly IS cat nip anyway? Is it cat drugs? No, not really. It’s just that while cat sitting in Chandler, we get to watch your feline friends *act* as if they are on drugs, if we give them cat nip. […]
