Special Friends Pet Sitting Service, LLC - Dayton, OH
We offer several services: pet sitting (for cats, dogs, birds, caged critters, and exotics), dog walking, midday potty breaks, medication administration (including insulin injections and fluids), kitty play sessions, pet taxi (transportation to/from groomers, vet appointments, etc), vacation home checks, and plant watering.
All of our pet care specialists are bonded, insured, background checked, and trained in Pet First Aid & CPR through the PetTech Program.
Our goal is to make your pets feel comfortable and happy and to provide you peace of mind while you’re away from your home. During each visit to your home we will feed your pets, refresh water, take dogs out for walks or yard time, scoop litter boxes or administer medication (if needed), and most of all, provide companionship to your pets. In addition to caring for your pets, we will also care for your home; we bring in mail and packages, take out trash cans, water indoor and outdoor plants, and rotate lights inside and outside. We also send frequent updates (with pictures) so that you know how your pets are getting along.
