We stay in contact with you by using Time to Pet!

With Best Home Pets we take care of your pets in their favorite place in the world:  Home!


Best Home Pets is a great alternative to doggy daycare or boarding kennels with dog walkers and In-Home Pet Sitters.


Here are a couple things to consider if boarding at a kennel is not for you or your dog and what makes us different:



While some dogs and cats cope well with doggie day care or dog and cat boarding facilities, others do not. Sometimes pets are even turned away because they fail to pass a compatibility test.  High anxiety dogs do better in their own home environment while dogs seem to fit in anywhere.


We believe that when you’re away, you should have total peace of mind about your pets’ care. That’s why we offer premier pet sitting services that allow your dog or cat to stay home in their familiar surroundings, benefit from loving one-on-one attention, and maintain their normal routines.


We are insured, bonded, informed, experienced – and most of all, passionate about pets. While you’re away, your pet is our top priority. We even send you videos or photos of our visits and playtime to make you feel totally at ease!
