Pet Sitting:

Animal Au Pair believes pets are much more comfortable and secure in their own familiar surroundings. That is why we come to your home and care for your pet(s) so they never have to be taken to an impersonal kennel. We also keep your home in order by bringing in your mail and newspaper, watering your plants, cleaning and refreshing pet food and water bowls, brushing out your pet's coat, walking your pet(s) or cleaning the litter, and switching lights on and off to fool potential burglars.

Pet Exercising:

If you work long hours and worry about your pet having to wait for you to get home, have an active breed dog who needs a diversion during the day, or have a small breed who can't "hold it" all day, Animal Au Pair offers mid-day potty/exercise breaks. We will take your dog for a walk, or play ball/frisbee in the yard. This 20 minute visit is perfect for busy working "parents".

Pet Grooming:

We offer some grooming services, such as bathing, nail trimming, ear flushing, or tooth brushing.

Overnight Stays:

We offer overnight stays for special pets, such as older dogs in need of frequent bathroom breaks, dogs who get into trouble if not supervised, dogs who have separation anxiety, or any pet who needs extra loving and spoiling!

This service is based upon availability, so please call ahead.

Home Security Checks:

If you don't have a pet, but travel often and worry about leaving your home unattended, Animal Au Pair can come by your home to bring in the mail and paper, alternate the lights, confirm doors and windows are locked, water plants, and generally make the home look occupied.

Vendor Sitting:

Do you have to take a vacation day to wait for the cable company, furniture delivery, plumber/electrician, or other repairs? If you need the AC fixed,  but have an important meeting at the office, just call Animal Au Pair! We can wait at your home for the vendor to arrive and complete the task. This  service is based on availability so please call ahead.

Light Housekeeping:

No one wants to come home to a mess after being out of town. But we don't  always have time to tidy up before traveling, due to all the arrangements and packing we have to take care of. Let Animal Au Pair do it for you!

While we are caring for your pet, we will do a general tidy up of the small stuff you couldn't finish before you left.  This service is customized to each home based on size and layout, and is not intended to be a full-service, detailed cleaning of the entire home. 

Because Animal Au Pair is not a full time cleaning service, we use your cleaning supplies. Please be sure to leave them on hand if you request this service.
