Pet Sitting Info

If you have ever felt concerned leaving your beloved pets with friends or family, or boarding them while you're away, you are among the fast-growing population of pet lovers seeking a better alternative.

In The Bag offers reliable, personal and custom care for your pet(s) in the stress-free environment of their own home.

In addition to extended vacation service, we offer daily dog walks and/or overnight visits in most areas. Our team includes a specialist in birds, reptiles and small animals. We welcome fish and exotic pets, too. Each of our services is described below.

Vacations: In The Bag can visit your home up to three times a day while you are on vacation. A standard visit is ½ hour in length during which we follow your instructions to adhere to your pet care routine as closely as possible.

Daily Dog Walks: Every dog requires proper physical and mental stimulation. When you can't be around or are too busy to give your dog the exercise they need, we will come by and take them out for a refreshing walk. Dog walks last 20-25 minutes (30 min. total visit - check water, food, etc.)

Overnight Visits: A wonderful alternative to a kennel, overnight stays are offered 7 days a week for pets that require human company to settle in! Visits begin around 8pm and conclude the following morning between 6am and 7am. The service includes caring for your pet(s), checking mail, gathering newspapers, watering plants, and performing an overall house check.

Last Minute Requests: Stuck in traffic? Meeting ran long? We offer flexibility to provide established clients peace of mind when last-minute problems prevent you from getting home on schedule.

Dog Food Delivery: We realize that many pet owners are firmly committed to their brand of pet food. We gladly offer established clients pick-up and delivery of your pets' brand for a $5.00 service fee.
