Reasons Why

Why pet waste cleanup is so important:

  1. YOUR FAMILY. Children run the greatest risk of infection because they're prone to play in the dirt at the park or playground and then put their hands in their mouths or rub their eyes with their hands. Teens or adults playing Frisbee or touch football in an open area could be in danger. Parasitic infections can make humans extremely sick, and for pregnant women, can pose a serious harm to their unborn child.
  2. It's a HEALTH HAZARD. Pet waste left lying on the ground or in a litter pan can actually make you, your family, and/or your pets sick.
  3. It's a cause of POLLUTION. Pet waste is a big contributor to groundwater pollution.
  4. Pet Waste is POISONOUS to your lawn! It will kill your grass and your soil will ultimately become the home of parasites where they will linger on for years.
  5. Pet waste is UNATTRACTIVE to look at.
  6. Pet waste SMELLS.
  7. Pet waste ATTRACTS unwanted pests.
  8. It's the LAW! Many urban and suburban areas require you to pick up after your pet. Even if there is no restriction, cleaning up after your pet is the right thing to do for your family, friends, and the environment.
  9. Your neighbors and community will appreciate it.
  10. Calling on us for this unpleasant chore will SAVE you time and the headache of arguing about whom in the family is going to clean it up.


Bottom Line -- everyone agrees that pet waste needs to be cleaned-up. But many pet-owners don't find it to be the most pleasant of experiences, are physically unable to do it, don't have time to do it, or just don't care enough to do it. Yet, for the reasons listed above, and others too numerous to list, it is very important to you, your family (and pet), your community, and the environment that pet owners properly provide for the clean-up of their pet's little "treasures" on a regular and recurring basis.

Why a Pet Sitting Service should be considered:

  1. Your pet will be HAPPIER.
  2. Your pet will experience LESS STRESS by remaining at home.
  3. Exercise and diet ROUTINES remain UNINTERRUPTED.
  4. Some pets may suffer trauma from traveling even for short trips. Pet sitting ELIMINATES this unnecessary TRAUMA for your pet.
  5. Your pet will experience LESS EXPOSURE TO ILLNESS.
  6. No reason to call UNTRAINED or UNWILLING friends/family/neighbors.
  7. An in-home professional pet care provider will give you "PEACE OF MIND" while you are away.

Why a Dog Walking Service should be considered:

  1. Exercise is good for your dog. It helps to KEEP YOUR DOG HEALTHY AND IN SHAPE.
  2. A walk during the day gives your dog SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
  3. It gives your pet an opportunity to RELIEVE himself during the day. It is not healthy for your pet to "hold it" for so many hours.
  4. Since dogs are truly social creatures, it gives them an opportunity to SOCIALIZE while you are out.
  5. It helps to keep your home free from urine and/or pet waste.
