If you’ve ever wondered what exactly a professional pet sitter does (besides pamper your pets, of course!), you’re not alone! Many pet parents think pet sitting is just feeding the dog and scooping the litter box - but we’re here to tell you it’s so much more than that.
At Pet Au Pair, we believe in going the extra mile (or tail wag!) for every pet in our care. Here’s what you can expect when you hire a professional pet sitter in West Cary, Morrisville, or Apex.
Tailored Visit Times for Your Pet’s Routine
We offer flexible visit lengths - from quick 15-minute potty breaks to full 60-minute cuddle-and-play sessions. Our most popular options are:
We stick to your pet’s normal routine - because consistency helps them feel safe and loved. Sticking to your pet’s routine in their own home helps reduce stress while you are away.
Medication and Special Needs Care
From insulin shots to pill pockets, we’ve got you covered. Our sitters are trained and experienced in administering:
Whether your pet has allergies, anxiety, or a chronic condition, we’ll make sure they’re cared for with patience and a gentle touch.
Daily Updates (aka “Pupdates”!)
We know being away from your pets can be tough. That’s why we send daily updates with adorable photos and quick notes from our visit. You’ll get to see your furry friend smiling, playing, or snoozing peacefully - and it’ll put your heart at ease!
Light Home Care Included
We’re not just pet lovers - we’re home helpers too! During visits, we’re happy to:
This keeps your home looking lived-in and adds an extra layer of security.
Security and Cleanliness
We treat your home like our own. That means:
Clean paws, clean shoes, clean conscience.
Personalized Love and Attention
Every pet is different, and that’s why we customize each visit. Some pets love belly rubs and fetch. Others prefer gentle brushing and quiet time. We follow your exact instructions - including feeding routines, walk routes, and favorite toys.
We will even cook for your dog, yep you heard that correctly. We will cook up chicken, salmon or whatever your dog needs. We’ve done it before and we will do it again.
You will have an opportunity to give us complete instructions in our pet sitting management software as well as schedule a meet and greet to show us the entire routine..
Final Woof
Professional pet sitting is so much more than “just stopping by.” At Pet Au Pair, we’re your pet’s second BFF (after you, of course!). We offer reliable, loving, and tailored care — so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
