Services
Welcome to Bells & Spikes - where pet care is anything but ordinary. Around here, we believe your fur (and feather, and scale!) babies deserve care that’s personalized to a T…because no two pets (or pet parents) are the same. Whether you’ve got a diva cat, a snuggly senior pup, or a high-energy puppy with main-character energy, we’ve got you covered.
We’re a small but mighty team of certified, animal CPR and Fear-Free–trained sitters who genuinely care - about your pets, your home, and your peace of mind. It’s the little details that matter most to us: the pink cup, the filtered water, the bedtime routine, and the “good morning” stretch your dog does before breakfast. That’s the kind of attention we bring to every visit.
Daily Drop-In Visits & Walks
When life gets busy, we’ll be there to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching. Each visit is all about your pet - their routine, their quirks, and their happiness.

A Little Mess? Totally Fine. A Biohazard? That’s Extra.
We’re pros at the usual pet messes…litter scoops, drool, fur tumbleweeds, food splats? No sweat. That’s all part of loving and caring for your furry family.
But if we run into anything more…shall we say adventurous (think potty disasters, mystery puddles, “uh-oh” surprises, or situations that require gloves and a pep talk), there’s a $25 excessive clean-up fee per incident. No shame, no judgment - just honest cleanup with lots of love.
Special Requests?
Just ask! From birthday treats to custom pupdates, we’re all about personalizing your pet’s experience. If it fits within our visit time or boarding stay and keeps your pet happy, we’re game.
Updates, Just the Way You Like Them
Whether you prefer texts, emails, or app updates, we’ll keep you in the loop with notes, photos, and stories from each visit. Expect magazine-worthy snapshots, personality-filled recaps, and that extra reassurance that your pets are happy, healthy, and loved.
