Pau Pair Pet Care · South Jersey
In-home pet care built on trust, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to the individual wellbeing of every animal in our care.
Why Pau Pair
There are hundreds of people who will walk your dog. There is only one Pau Pair.
In-Home Pet Care
Whether your dog needs a familiar face every Tuesday, someone to stay close while you're away for the week, or a dedicated sitter for the day — we have a care level built exactly for that. Every visit, every block, every overnight is entirely theirs.

Recurring Walking Program
Our most cherished walking relationship — a quarterly commitment between your family, your dog, and a dedicated sitter who genuinely becomes part of your world. Locked-in rates. Protected schedule. The same familiar face, every single week.
Every relationship begins with a personal introduction — you, your pet, and your assigned Pau Pair sitter, together. A $50 deposit reserves your consultation and is applied in full toward your first service. Non-refundable.
The Pau Pair Difference
We don't arrive with a checklist. We arrive knowing your dog — their personality, their preferences, what unsettles them, what lights them up, and exactly what they need to feel safe and loved while you're away. Every care plan is built from scratch, evolves as your pet does, and is honored with the same attention to detail on day one as it is on day one hundred.

Good Questions
No surprises. Every detail below is shared clearly before a relationship begins.
Every Pau Pair relationship begins with a personal, in-home introduction — and no client begins service without one. Your assigned primary sitter and your designated backup sitter are both present from day one. Having both present from the very first meeting means your pet and your family build comfort and trust with everyone who will ever enter your home — before a single visit takes place.
A $50 deposit reserves your Meet & Greet and is applied in full toward your first service. The Meet & Greet itself is complimentary. The deposit is non-refundable.
Whatever your pet needs — and we mean that entirely. Every care plan is built from scratch around your individual pet. There is no standard Pau Pair visit. There is only your dog's visit.
For some dogs that means a long sniff-led walk down their favorite street. For others it's twenty minutes of fetch in the backyard, a quiet afternoon on the couch with the TV on, or a calm wind-down routine before bed. We follow your pet's lead — because their personality, their preferences, and their needs are the plan.
Every visit also includes the home care your sitter provides without being asked — mail collected, plants watered, lights rotated, trash handled. Your home will be left in better condition than they found it, every single time.
For pet sitting services, a 50% deposit is due at the time of booking. The remaining 50% is auto-billed 72 hours prior to your service start date. Bookings made within 3 days of service start are charged in full at the time of booking.
Cancellations made within 48 hours of a scheduled appointment will forfeit the deposit held and the full appointment fee will be charged.
Platinum Pack is our recurring weekly walking membership — a quarterly commitment between your family, your dog, and a dedicated sitter who genuinely becomes part of your world. It is designed for families who want the same familiar face on a consistent, protected schedule every single week.
Platinum Pack members receive locked-in rates, priority scheduling, and a sitter who knows their dog the way only consistency can teach. Minimum 2 walks per week required. Billing is monthly, automatically on the 1st of each month.
This is not a service you book when you need it. It is a relationship you invest in.
Multi-pet households are absolutely welcome — and we are experienced in managing the individual needs of each animal in your home. Dogs who cannot be out together are rotated with intention and care. Cats are included in the care plan. Mixed households of one dog and one cat are covered under the base service rate with no additional charge.
Additional pet fees apply for households with more than two dogs or more than two cats — these are outlined in full in our Additional Fees section and confirmed before any booking is made.
Life happens and we understand that. Please notify us as early as possible if something changes on your end — our team will always do their best to work with you. Our 48-hour cancellation policy applies to all scheduled appointments.
For Platinum Pack members, day-to-day schedule adjustments are handled directly with your sitter and the Pau Pair team. Program exit requires a minimum of 30 days written notice — full details are included in your client agreement.
"Trust is something you build one family at a time — and that is exactly how we built this."
