What does an Un-Timed visit mean to you?

Image
 It’s about quality of time not quantity of time. This means if Gigi is scared, we will take the time to try to form a bond. If Gigi is sad because Mom or Dad is away, we will sit on the floor and hand feed her. Or if it’s a beautiful day and they are really enjoying their walk, we might take an extra lap. If Gigi decides to “redecorate your house” or have an accident and we need more time to clean up and wash materials, we will be there to get it done. We are more concerned about you and your pets happiness and less about the ticking on the clock! If an emergency arises, we deal with that 100% with no extra charge for our time. Un-timed visits mean we are there for the quality of time…not the quantity of time! If we charged by the time, you would come home to an extra bill for extra time spent. With us, you will never have an extra bill. We provide a full service, quality service, guaranteed! If you are concerned that the sitter will rush in and rush out, I

The struggle is real for many cat lovers who are, unfortunately, allergic to these furry and loveable creatures.  Maybe you fall into this category and have tried to cope by taking antihistamines or have a specialized HEPA air filter installed in your home.  Did you know that cats can be hypoallergenic? Cat lovers with allergies can rejoice by adopting one of these cute and cuddly breeds. Certain feline breeds are considered “hypoallergenic” or “low allergy” cats.  They are classified as such because they produce fewer allergens than other breeds.  The leading cause of allergies with cats is found in the pet dander they produce.   However, the other culprit for the estimated 10 percent of the population that suffer from cat allergies is due to a protein, Fel d 1, that is present in cat saliva. Hypoallergenic cats are not completely allergy free (unfortunately) as all cats produce some amount of dander .  This makes it impossible to have a cat that is completely non-aller
