First things first...
THE MEET & GREET
Making sure your pet is happy, safe, and healthy is my top priority.
No pet is alike. So, prior to every High Five Paws service, I offer a complimentary Meet & Greet. This allows us to work together to customize the one-on-one care for your pet in order to assist in maintaining their daily routine and exercise while you're away. The Meet & Greet is a 30-45 minute visit where I can meet your pet, we can go over our policies, your home and pet's routine, address any questions you may have, collect a set of house keys, and allow me to bond with your pet in your presence to help them feel comfortable with me. This helps ease their stress while you're away.
'Hear it' First-Hand
"High Five Paws Pet Care is the best pet service we've ever used! I am so thankful we found Nicole. The care and attention she gives our fur babies allows us to go away without any worries. Dependable, loving, and great communication with multiple check ins and pictures daily. Highly recommend."

What's next?
What it's all about...
As your pet sitter, I want to emphasize the importance of daily cat care. While cats may appear independent, they still depend on us to keep them safe and well (we don't cut corners here, by doing every other day visits) Daily visits allow me to make sure your cat is eating, drinking, using the litter box, behaving normally while also checking for any signs of illness, injury, distress, or anything unexpected in the home.
​
Regular care also provides the companionship, attention, and mental stimulation they need to feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Most importantly, daily visits mean someone is there to notice when something just isn't right.
POCKET PETS PET SITTING
What it's all about...
Small pets may be little, but their care is anything but!
​
Pockets pets can be especially good at hiding signs of illness or distress. Daily visits allow me to check that your pet is eating, drinking, active, comfortable, behaving normally, while also making sure their habitat is clean, secure, and properly maintained. Daily weight check ins are also part of their care, providing an extra way to monitor changes in your pet's health and well-being.
​
That is why I require daily visits rather than every-tother -day care. A lot can change in a day for small animals and having someone check in each day means changes in their health or behavior can be noticed sooner.
​
Every Pocket Pal has their own routine and needs, so care is customized to your pet.

What's next?
What it's all about...
Reptile care is all about maintaining the right environment and keeping a close eye on your scaly companion.
​
Each reptile has specific needs for temperature, humidity, lighting, food, and habitat care. Daily visits help ensure their environment stays within the proper range while also allowing me to monitor their eating, activity, and overall well-being.
​
Care is customized to your reptiles individual routine and habitat needs.
LITTER BOX DETOX
What it's all about...
Litter Box Detox goes beyond simply scooping. A thorough cleaning removes built-up litter, waste, and odors that can accumulate over time, helping create a cleaner and more comfortable space for your cat.
​
Regular deep cleaning can also help keep the litter area more sanitary and encourage good litter box habits. Because a fresh litter box makes for a happier, healthier kitty!
