Daily Exercise with a Fetch! Dog Walker
Dogs of all sizes and energy levels need regular walks to stay happy and healthy. Daily exercise helps prevent boredom, maintains physical health, and provides essential mental stimulation. Sticking to a regular walking schedule helps reduce stress and keeps your dog engaged while you’re on vacation. Regular walks help maintain a healthy weight, reduce anxiety, and even improve behavior—studies show that dogs who get daily exercise are less likely to develop destructive habits like excessive barking or chewing.
Consistency is key when it comes to a dog’s routine. Keeping your dog on a steady walking schedule provides important mental health benefits, helping them feel happier and more balanced even when you’re away. Our professional dog walking will ensure that your pet gets the movement they need while you’re away—Fetch! walkers offer 30, 45, or 60-minute walks tailored to their needs.

Overnight Care for a Stress-Free Staycation
Some pets need extra companionship while their owners are away. That’s why Fetch! Pet Care offers overnight dog and cat sitting—providing your pet with the care and attention they’re used to, all in the comfort of their own home. Whether your pet prefers cozy bedtime snuggles or just the reassurance of a familiar presence, our sitters make sure they feel safe and secure. We also offer “almost” overnight sitting for animals who prefer a late evening and early morning check-in.
To help your pet feel at ease, we work to pair you with the same trusted sitter every time. This consistency builds a strong bond between your pet and their caregiver, making each stay smoother and less stressful. We know that pets are more relaxed when cared for by someone they recognize. Studies on canine behavior indicate that regular human interaction and predictable routines contribute to lower stress levels, helping your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.

Personalized Playtime to Match Your Dog’s Social Style
Every dog has their own personality. Some pups love making new friends, while others prefer one-on-one attention. At Fetch! Pet Care, your sitter will tailor their services to your dog’s social preferences, seeing to it that they get the right balance of interaction and exercise while you’re away.
If your dog thrives on social play, your Fetch! dog walker can include supervised trips to a dog-friendly park, giving them the chance to play with other pups in a safe environment. For dogs who prefer solo adventures, our walkers will focus on personalized enrichment—whether that’s extra sniffing time, a game of fetch, or a leisurely stroll. No matter your animal’s personality, Fetch! Pet Care ensures they receive the activity they need to stay content while you’re on vacation.

That’s why our Fetch! sitters encourage you to leave behind your pet’s favorite toys, blankets, and treats. These small comforts help create a sense of security and normalcy for your dog while you enjoy your spring break.
Your sitter will incorporate these familiar items into your pet’s daily routine, and they’ll make sure to good behavior with their favorite treat. Keeping these simple comforts on hand ensures your pet stays happy and stress-free while you’re away.
