We Are Professional Pet Care Providers

What’s the difference between a Professional Pet Sitter, and a hobbyist or the girl next door?

​

At Paskapoo Pet Services, we are not your typical “animal lover”, listed on an app and pet sitting for some extra cash!

​

We take our job of caring for our clients’ pets so seriously that we go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect, starting with a certification in professional pet sitting (CPPS), proper business insurance and bonding, and WCB coverage. We have the experience to handle all situations and care for your pets like no one else. We continuously receive training and guidance from Pet Sitters International and carry Pet First Aid and Pet Care certificates. Furthermore, we use specifically designed software for our complex scheduling needs to ensure we never miss a visit.

​

Professional Pet Sitters are accountable, reliable and caring. We are invested in our work for the long run. We’ve all heard the horror stories and we are working hard to give Professional Pet Sitters a good name.

​

For your peace of mind, contact Paskapoo Pet Services today!
