What Is a Pet Care Concierge?
A pet care concierge is more than a booking service. It is your private liaison in the world of pet care; curating only the finest, most trusted professionals and holding them accountable to the highest standards. If a professional falls short, they are removed from the roster. Only the best remain. With personalized matches, ongoing oversight, and true accountability, a concierge saves you time while giving you the confidence that your pet is cared for as family.

Why Every Pet Parent Needs Reliable Emergency Contacts
When you leave your pet in the care of a sitter, one emergency contact is often not enough. If you and your spouse are traveling together, on a plane, or in an area without service, your sitter may have no way to reach you in an urgent situation. By adding at least one additional trusted contact, you ensure your pet and your home are always protected.
