Paws, Play, & Peace of Mind

Responsible pet parenting is about more than food and shelter and is a lifelong commitment to health, enrichment, and love. From cats and dogs to birds, reptiles, and small critters, thoughtful care helps every pet thrive.

Back-to-school changes can be confusing for pets. Help them adjust with gradual departures, enriching activities, and consistent routines. Pawsitive Dawg Walking and Pet Sitting is here to support your pet with midday walks, drop-ins, and fear-free care.

Every August 8th is International Cat Day. It is the purr-fect time to shower your feline friend with love (on their terms, of course) and celebrate the joy, mystery, and wellbeing of our whiskered companions.

Summer heat can be tough on senior pets. At Pawsitive Dawg Walking and Pet Sitting, we give extra care and attention to keep your older companions cool, safe, and happy all season long.

Watching your pet solve a puzzle toy is pure magic and it’s more than fun! Enrichment boosts confidence, focus, and problem-solving skills. At Pawsitive Dawg Walking and Pet Sitting, we love supporting mental enrichment during visits or with a personalized enrichment plan!

Summer is almost here, and while it's a great time for outdoor fun with your pets, it's also peak season for heatstroke. Stay safe by knowing the signs, taking quick action, and keeping your furry companions cool and comfortable all summer long!

Warm weather means more time outside and more risk of ticks and fleas! These pesky bugs can cause big problems, but a few simple steps can help keep your pet comfortable and pest-free all season long.

Cats chatter for many reasons. Meows, chirps, purrs, growls, and yowls each paint a different mood. Match the sound to the moment: a breakfast meow, a greeting trill, or a stress yowl. Sudden or nonstop vocalizing can hint at pain or illness, so call your vet if it spikes. Listening to tone, context, and body language lets you meet needs faster and deepen your bond.

Introduce new cats gradually with scent, sight, and space management for a stress-free transition.
