My services stand out because of my attention to detail and eager commitment to following your exact instructions. Additionally, I am certified in pet first aid & CPR and love to provide in-depth reports of every visit, including photos, to ensure that both you and your pets feel relaxed and safe.
Perky Pet loves every animal unconditionally and does not discriminate against breeds or species. I leverage years of caretaking experience for many domestic and exotic pets to provide the best care possible to:
-Dogs of all sizes and temperaments
-Cats of all personalities
-Birds, from finches and canaries to amazons and cockatoos
-Rodents, from mice and rats to guinea pigs and chinchillas
-Reptiles, from box turtles and leopard geckos to bearded dragons and ball pythons
-Frogs & toads, ferrets, rabbits, sugar gliders, chickens, and more!
Every walk and pet sitting visit for cats & exotic pets includes a virtual report card! The report will include team member check-in and check-out times, photos of your pet(s), information about diet and potty habits, and details about the entire visit. Dog walks also include GPS tracking of the route we take.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is included in dog walking services?
A1: Dog walks provide exercise and bathroom breaks to your pups. Walks will include setting out fresh water, giving food/snacks, engaging playtime, and cuddling with lots of love. Actual walk times within the timed visit may vary depending on added requests such as feeding and medication. Every walk includes a virtual report card using our professional pet sitting software Time To Pet; reports include GPS tracking with check-in and check-out times, photos of the visit, and details about your pets' mood, health, and diet/potty habits.
Q2: What is included in pet sitting services?
A2: Drop-in pet sitting visits (in your home) are offered for cats and exotic pets such as birds, bunnies, rodents, fish, and reptiles. Visits will include setting out fresh water, giving food/snacks, engaging enrichment activities, and cuddling with lots of love (when welcome). Every visit includes a virtual report card using our professional pet sitting software Time To Pet; reports include check-in and check-out times, photos of the visit, and details about your pets' mood, health, and diet/potty habits. At this time, drop-in pet-sitting for dogs is not available.
Q3: What happens to our scheduled service during inclement weather?
A3: In the case of an emergency, inclement weather, or a natural disaster, we will use reasonable judgment for the care and well-being of our clients' pets and residences. We make reasonable efforts to maintain service during these conditions: monitoring the weather radar to adjust schedules and modifying walks/visits to include quick bathroom breaks with maximized indoor enrichment. If we can safely drive, see where we're walking, and there is no lightning, we will be out walking in rain, snow, wind, and shine.
Q4: What are the benefits to hiring a professional dog walker?
A4: Like us, our doggy companions require exercise and mental stimulation to live a long, healthy life. Whether you are gone long hours for work or work for long hours at home, a dog walker can be your partner in providing exceptional loving care to your furry family. Whether your dog needs extra exercise, enrichment, or companionship, Perky Pet can be there for them! Walks and visits can include but are not limited to energetic playtime to use up energy, enrichment activities to work out their brains and ward off dementia, and when welcome, lots of cuddle time to make them feel even happier and more loved.
Q5: What makes Perky Pet a "luxury" pet care service?
A5: To us, "luxury" means that the care we provide is personalized, professional, detail-oriented, holistic, loving, and enthusiastic. Pets are our precious life companions but they are more than that; animals are individuals that deserve to have their needs and desires understood, respected, and managed with love. Pet care providers are hired to meet pets' basic needs, yes, but truly keeping them safe and happy requires more than that. Luxury pet care to Perky Pet means caring for clients' pets as if they were our own. We may call it "luxury" to consider the long-term physical, mental, and emotional well-being of every pet in our care, but to Perky Pet, this is just what it means to help pet parents extend their love to their pets.
