About Care to Paws

Our Mission

At Care to Paws, we believe that exceptional pet care goes beyond basic needs. We combine professional pet sitting services with deep expertise in animal behavior to ensure your pets receive care that truly understands their psychological and emotional well-being.

Our Values

  • Evidence-Based Care: We apply scientific knowledge of animal behavior to every interaction, ensuring your pets feel safe, understood, and content.
  • Individual Attention: Each animal has unique behavioral patterns and needs. We take time to understand your pet's personality, preferences, and communication style.
  • Trust & Transparency: Your pet's safety and happiness are our top priorities. We maintain open communication and provide detailed updates about your pet's well-being.
  • Continuous Learning: We stay current with the latest research in animal behavior and welfare to provide the highest standard of care.

Why Behavioral Expertise Matters

Understanding animal behavior isn't just about training—it's about recognizing stress signals, providing appropriate enrichment, and creating an environment where pets thrive. Our background in animal psychology allows us to:

  • Identify and reduce stress in your pets during your absence
  • Provide species-appropriate mental and physical stimulation
  • Recognize early signs of health or behavioral issues
  • Adapt our care approach to each pet's unique temperament
  • Support pets with anxiety, fear, or behavioral challenges
