"We have been using Blue Skies Pet Care for the last 5 years for our felines and canines. Now we use them for our equine care. I so appreciate their communication before and during our animals care. They send pictures of our critters each time they come to service, and phone right away if their is a problem. I always recommend them whenever anyone is asking for pet sitters."

A better fit for pets who are happiest at home
Some pets do great in boarding. Others feel much better staying in their own space, sleeping in their usual spot, eating from their usual bowl, and keeping their normal routine.
In-home pet sitting may be a great fit if:
- Your pet gets stressed in kennels or busy boarding environments
- Your cat prefers their own home and routine
- Your dog does best with familiar surroundings
- You have multiple pets with different needs
- You want someone checking on the home while you are away
- You prefer photo updates and written visit notes
- You want care from a professional local company
Your pet does not have to be “easy” to deserve thoughtful care. We simply need honest, detailed instructions so we can make the safest plan possible.
Pet sitting for vacations, weekends, and busy workdays
Blue Skies Pet Care can help with:
Vacation pet sitting
Heading out of town? We can visit your pets at home so they can stay in their normal environment while you travel.
Cat sitting
Cats often do best at home, especially when their litter box, favorite hiding spots, and daily routine stay familiar. We can handle food, water, litter, medication when appropriate, and gentle companionship based on your cat’s comfort level.
Dog sitting and potty breaks
Dogs may need potty breaks, meals, walks, playtime, or simply a friendly check-in while you are gone. We follow your routine and your instructions.
Multi-pet households
If you have a full house, we can help coordinate care for pets with different feeding routines, medications, personalities, and needs.
Long workdays
Pet sitting is not just for vacations. Midday visits can help dogs who need potty breaks, senior pets who need extra support, and households with changing schedules.

4. We complete your visits
Your pet caregiver follows the scheduled visit plan and your written instructions.
5. You get updates
After visits, you receive a report with notes and photos so you know how your pets are doing.

"Took great care of our pets while we were out of town. They are 'seniors' and one has limited vision so boarding has become very stressful for them. They were much happier staying at home where everything is familiar. Thank you!!"
