Add-on service
Pet help that keeps tails wagging.
Whether you're away for the day or a full week, we'll drop in to feed, walk, play with, and care for your pets in their own home.
What we provide
Loving care for your pets at home.
Pet help with Lighten the Load means your animals stay in their familiar routine, surrounded by their own toys, beds, and smells, while getting the attention they need.
Feeding & fresh water
We follow your feeding schedule and portion instructions, refill water bowls, and make sure your pet stays happy and hydrated.
Walks & potty breaks
Dogs get relief breaks and leashed walks around your neighborhood so they can stretch, sniff, and stay comfortable.
Litter box cleaning
Cats keep a clean space with fresh litter and tidy boxes, reducing stress and keeping your home smelling fresh.
Playtime & companionship
We spend quality time with your pet — belly rubs, fetch, laser pointers, or quiet company — so they feel loved and less lonely.
Medication reminders
We help with simple oral or topical medications on schedule, following your written instructions carefully.
Photo & text updates
Check in anytime with photo or text updates so you can see your pet's face and know they're doing well.
