Cape Cod Pet Sitting – better than a Kennel

Dog Walker Falmouth

Dog and cat owners all over Cape Cod will soon be faced with a decision during their upcoming vacations: travel with their pets, put them in a kennel, have a friend watch them, or entrust a Professional Pet Sitting Company like CapeK9Cardio.

Traveling with pets is not always possible. Most cats and dogs do not do well on the road. There are a variety of changes that not all pets can handle, such as new food or water and movement on the road. Not always a good combination.

Kennels can be traumatizing for pets and usually don’t provide much exercise. This foreign confinement can often lead to unnecessary stress for our beloved cats and dogs.

Leaving pets with a friend may cause strain on a friendship. If there’s a problem, or a vet visit is needed will they handle that properly and will the veterinarian allow them to have your dog treated?

There is a pet care solution! PET SITTING! Pet sitting on Cape Cod with CapeK9Cardio offers many advantages over a kenneling or using a friend for pet owners who are traveling during April vacation.

  • Your pets and home are visited several times a day – providing security and comfort!
  • Your animals will be on their normal diet.
  • We are Bonded and Insured to provide care and love in a comfortable setting that your dog is used to.
  • Your dogs will receive high quality exercise everyday – keeping their minds and bodies occupied and relieving stress!
  • Home is a safe comfortable place for your Cape Cod pets.

Call CapeK9Cardio, or visit our Cape Cod Pet Sitting Service website today and make arrangements for your dog’s care while you travel. Your Cape Cod pets will be safe in the comfort of their own home. Their own toys, bedding and scents they are used to will surround your pets.

Other important tips for pet owners when traveling away from their pets: Diet should not change. Your dogs and cats should only gradually change their diets if needed or recommended by a vet. Changing a dog’s diet suddenly will add to the stress of being away from their loved ones.

Exercise is vital for a dog’s health and well being. Daily exercise service is included with Pet Sitting Services from CapeK9Cardio. We provide dog running or dog walking during each day of service. Longer exercise sessions are available.

Your pets will still miss you, but they are home waiting for you. They’ll be getting dog exercise and plenty of love everyday. Our trained professional pet sitters and dog walkers understand dog’s and cat’s needs. Our pet sitters and dog walkers take detailed notes on each visit, and follow your instructions given during the free consultation. We also have you sign a vet release form, should the need for a visit arise. We are also bonded and insured pet sitting business for your Cape Cod pet’s protection and your piece of mind.

Cape Cod Pet SittingOur “Cape Cod Pets” of the Month for February 2009 are Rocky and Rosie Rosbach. This mis-matched pair of pooches love to do everything together, so a kennel was out of the question for the family.  They considered having a friend care for, feed and walk their Cape Cod pets. A major concern was finding someone reliable who could meet the unique exercise needs of these two. After thinking it over they considered a pet sitting service that included a high demanding fitness and exercise program – K9 Cardio.

Cape Cod Pet Sitting

Rocky and Rosie’s owners left Cape Cod behind for the warm beaches in Hawaii during February vacation, feeling happy and comfortable with the decision to leave their two dogs under the care of CapeK9Cardio – a Bonded & Insured Pet Sitting and Dog Walking company that handles walks and runs! Each day with these Cape Cod pets was a new adventure. Rocky – a one year old male Boxer and his crate-mate Rosie, a three year old female Pug. Rocky’s high energy level required daily exercise and runs with CapeK9Cardio. Our Pet Taxi service would transport Rocky to a nice path, so his high energy could be burned off. This made Rosie happy too.

To say that these dogs really enjoy their feeding ritual would be an understatement! Like a pair of wet vacs, these dogs worked in tandem to eliminate every last morsel of food. It was a contest to see who could eat faster.

Pet SitterRocky is tall and goofy and Rosie is short and has a loud distinguishing snort. Rocky loves to play frisbee and Rosie will do just about anything for a treat! Two very different looking dogs with very contrasting traits and personalities. It’s amazing to watch the special bond that these two Cape Cod pets have. Rocky and Rosie not only get along great, but they love the companionship that they provide one another! We can’t wait to see this special pair again!
Our professional dog walkers can make a difference in your dog’s life too! Call or visit our Pet Sitting website today and remember, “A fit dog is a happy dog!”

Daily dog exercise is very important, it helps dogs stay mentally and physically healthy. Did you know that dogs have perfect bio-mechanics for running? They were designed to run in the wild. Well, we have domesticated these animals quite a bit to remove the “wild” part, but let’s face it – dogs are happy when they run! This type of exercise also allows them to do what they were wired to do – explore the outdoors. The benefits of dog walking and running are immeasurable. When a dog exercises, their heart rate reaches an elevated level. If the dog sustains a higher heart rate for more than 10 minutes, they are achieving a higher fitness level. This in turn results in a healthier, longer living pet. Leash laws prevent your dogs from getting the exercise they deserve, and not all of us have the time or ability to provide that for our pets. Cape K9 Cardio can provide this needed routine for your pet. CapeK9Cardio is committed to helping you develop a customized running or walking plan that will suit your needs. Each exercise session includes a warm-up and cool-down period. CapeK9Cardio and our staff of pet sitters and dog walkers will always keep your dog on a leash during an exercise sessions (this gives us control when running or walking). We will wear reflective material if exercising at night. When your dog returns to you tired and happy, make sure you check your dog’s paws for the presence of burrs, grass, thorns, rocks or ice and snow after each run or walk.
