2 Paws Up - In Home Pet Sitting and Dog Walking - Snellville, GA

Member since Aug 2020

We promise to provide our clients with exceptional pet care in order to give them peace of mind when having to leave their pets. We accomplish this with our “The 2 Paws Up Difference”.

What Makes Us ‘YOU’nique

Professionalism:
At 2 Paws Up Inc, we pride ourselves on the professional care each of our pet-care providers gives. Being professional means, we use employees and not independent contractors. We provide training and education and this translates into knowledgeable, dependable, conscience, trustworthy, and caring pet sitters, dog walkers, and dog trainers. Our clients know we will be on time and go above and beyond the standard of care. We are insured and bonded to protect our customers. We are members of the Women in the Pet Industry Network WPIN, National Association of Professional Pet Sitters NAPPS, as well as a local member of the Lilburn Business Association LBA.

Top-Notch Service:
We strive to be innovated and a leader in our industry. You may pay more for our service than our competitors. Why? We invest in our employees. We provide continuing education on a weekly basis to our pet sitters. They are our employees providing you with top-notch service, and to them, this is not a gig. Our pet sitters receive extensive training in subjects such as cat and dog body language, behavior, managing reactivity, and proper leash handling skills. We provide our clients with the choice of being able to leave their pets in a familiar environment and not having to upset their pet’s routine or exposing them to health issues involved in boarding and knowing we are skilled and knowledgeable about your precious family members.

Custom-Made Services:
Each of our clients is unique. As a member of our 2 Paws Up Inc family, you and your pets will benefit from our distinctive services. Explore and tailor your pets’ needs for the ultimate pet care experience. We treat your fur babies like we treat our own fur babies. We look forward to meeting you and your pet family at the meet and greet. We offer an estimate of all charges before the meet and greet based on the information we are given.

Superb Staff:
All staff and pet sitters working for 2 Paws Up Inc are employees and not independent contractors. This equates to a love of working with pets and not a just a gig. In order to become a member of 2 Paws Up Inc, a candidate must demonstrate the four qualities mentioned under Professionalism: Dependable, Conscience, Trustworthy, and Caring. I look for individuals who work hard, are loyal, compassionate, and understand the meaning of customer service. I do not compromise on these traits. If a person is not up to the standards set by 2 Paws Up Inc they will not work for me. Read about our Professional Pet Sitters.

Excellent Safety Record:
For the safety of the pets in our care, we do not offer pack walks. We provide one-on-one dog walks. With our team of professional pet sitters, if one is unavailable, there is a succession plan in place. We work as a team.

Ongoing Educational Development:
At 2 Paws Up Inc, we provide our pet sitters with training and education. Our training includes our sitters having continual online educational courses by FetchFind.com. We encourage pet sitters to educate themselves regarding all types of pets including yours. As a team and individually we continue to learn new information pertaining to pet healthcare.

Technology and Convenience:
It is with up to date technology that we assign pet sitting appointments. The same technology allows us to see each appointment for the day, the week, or the month. We have GPS tracking for the safety of your pets and our pet sitters. We know when they arrive and when they complete each home. Clients are given a personal log-in to access their profiles, schedule pet care, update their password, and upload pictures as well as information about their pets 24/7. We publish a quarterly newsletter and run awesome contests and promotions on Facebook, and Instagram.

Unequaled Personal Service:
Our clients are family. As a family, we treat each client with respect and care. We understand that open communication is imperative. We return all calls from our clients during office hours, and we monitor voice mail and email after hours. Your pet sitter can be reached after hours and on weekends while your away. Each pet sitter has an extension for you to call and check up on your pets and home while you’re away. Our pet sitters will send you an electronic journal that will include pictures of your pets at each visit directly to your email. Feedback from our clients is vital and appreciated.

Deliver Personal Service with Outstanding Communication:
Our clients, we believe, are an extension of family. My vision is to serve the county as a resource on pet-related topics and to continue to serve you with high-quality pet-care. We are insured and bonded for protection. Please contact and book my in home pet sitting services on Petworks.

In-home pet sitting allows dogs, cats, and other eligible companion animals to receive care in their familiar home environment while their families are away. Depending on the services offered, Barbie can help maintain your pet's regular feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and daily care.


🌿 What Does an In-Home Pet Sitter Do?


An in-home pet sitter visits the pet parent's residence to care for animals while their family is at work, traveling, or otherwise unavailable. Care is arranged around each pet's routine, household, and individual needs. Services offered by Barbie Klapp may include:


Feeding and Fresh Water: Providing meals, fresh water, and feeding according to your instructions.
Walks and Exercise: Taking dogs for walks, bathroom breaks, and appropriate physical activity when included in the service.
Companionship and Playtime: Spending time with pets through attention, interaction, and familiar activities.
Medication and Special Care: Following agreed-upon medication instructions or special care routines when the sitter has the appropriate experience and is comfortable providing them.
Cat and Small Animal Care: Providing feeding, litter box maintenance, habitat checks, and other routine care for animals the sitter is experienced with.
Home Check-Ins: Checking on pets and completing agreed-upon household tasks related to their care, where offered.


🌙 Drop-In Visits, Extended Visits, and Overnight Pet Sitting


In-home pet sitting can be arranged in different ways depending on your pet's needs and the sitter's availability.


Drop-In Pet Sitting: Scheduled visits to feed pets, provide bathroom breaks, refresh water, clean litter boxes, and offer companionship. Visit length and frequency are arranged with the sitter.
Extended Pet Sitting Visits: Longer visits for pets that benefit from additional attention, exercise, playtime, or supervision during the day.
Overnight Pet Sitting: A sitter stays at your home overnight, providing companionship and helping maintain your pet's usual evening and morning routine.
Multiple Daily Visits: Several scheduled visits throughout the day for pets that need more frequent care.


Available arrangements vary by professional. Before booking, confirm how long each visit lasts, how often the sitter will come, and whether overnight stays or extended visits are offered.


🐾 Which Pets Can Receive In-Home Pet Sitting?


Many in-home pet sitters primarily care for dogs and cats, while some also accommodate other companion animals. Depending on Barbie Klapp's experience and listed services, care may be available for puppies, senior pets, multiple-pet households, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, reptiles, or other small animals. Review the professional's profile and confirm that they are comfortable caring for your particular type of pet before booking.


🩺 In-Home Pet Sitting for Special Care Needs


Some pets have established routines or additional care requirements that make consistency especially important. An in-home sitter may be able to help with senior pet routines, special diets, mobility limitations, or medication schedules when those services are within the sitter's experience.


Before arranging care, discuss your pet's specific needs with Barbie. Explain feeding instructions, medication details, mobility concerns, behavioral considerations, and any other information the sitter should know. Confirm which tasks the sitter is able to perform and provide written instructions for the care period.


🏡 Preparing Your Home for a Pet Sitter


A little preparation helps your sitter follow your pet's normal routine and understand your expectations.


Home Access: Arrange keys, entry codes, alarm instructions, and any access restrictions before the first visit.
Food and Supplies: Organize food, treats, leashes, litter, cleaning supplies, and other everyday pet essentials.
Care Instructions: Write down feeding amounts, schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household rules.
Emergency Information: Provide your veterinarian's contact information, an emergency contact, and instructions for situations that may require veterinary attention.
Communication: Agree on how and when you would like to receive updates during the sitting arrangement.
