Providing Parent-Level care, when the pet's parents can't...
Our brand: "Substitute Pet Parents" was born from the desire to be more than another "roving pet sitter". We're local pet people - not ecommerce folks from Seattle. We care that your pets are properly exercised, feel safe, nourished and wagging when they see us. "Parent level care" is about making your pet feel loved and content in your abscence.
There are times when most pet owners will need someone to care gor their pets. Life happens. We firmly believe that those times are better at home Vs. a cold stinky kennel. Further, we believe most "pet sitters", are adequate. We just strive to be exceptional at pet care.
Care choices, activities, etc. are always on-point, because they're directed by you! You pick the times, activities and we fullfill your wishes. Dinner at 5PM...Vet appt. 10AM...no problem. Post-visit - we send a quick visit report with pics.
Smart pet parents trust Substitute Pet Parents with their fur babies. After all, 94% of pet parents that trust us once, trust us again!
Substitute Pet parents graciously provides parent-level care in the South Hills of Pittsburgh - Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Claire, etc. areas. We hope that you will consider us the next time you're in need of care for your pets.
