- In the event of an emergency, your pet will be transported to your vet for immediate attention
Benefits to the Owner:

The first time in 5 years I have felt comfortable and confident with my 3 dogs being well cared for. I was able to go about my travel work trip without concerns or worry. An updated diary was sent with eating habits and daily 'business habits" for the pups. Real time photos were sent of the pups daily. Thank goodness Power to the PawZ exists!!
We used the dog sitting services for our two older dogs...the service was outstanding. Our dogs received affection and great care. Thanks to Beth and her great team!
