Who we are

It started with a favor
to a friend.

Long, long ago, in a house not that far away, a friend of ours was heading out of town and needed someone to watch her pets. Before we knew it, we had her key and had become her people. She told her neighbors. They told theirs. One by one, we grew.

As more people brought us into their homes, we started doing more. While watching pets, we started fixing things, coordinating remodels, overseeing deliveries, and generally being the trusted presence people needed while they were away. What started as a favor turned into Paws & Property.

We're bonded and insured. As Chris loves to say, "We know we don't sell dog walks and plant watering. What we sell is trust."

Paige

Raised in Renton, WA. Five years at Amazon sharpened her operations instincts — she runs client services, scheduling, and daily communication. Animals tend to love her immediately.

How we work

What you can count on

These aren't bullet points we wrote for this goofy little website. They're how we actually operate with every visit, every client, every time.

We leave things better than we found them

That's the real standard we hold ourselves to, not a tagline. You'll come home to a property that's been genuinely cared for.

You hear from us

Photos and updates every visit. We don't go quiet while you're away. Consistent communication is part of the job.

Your pets keep their routine

Same schedule, same spots, same people they've already met. In-home care means they don't have to adjust to somewhere new.

Keys and access handled carefully

Alarm codes, entry instructions, lockboxes — we treat all of it with the seriousness it deserves. We don't take this lightly.

Special needs are our normal

We've handled anxious animals, multiple medications, and complicated routines. Chris personally administers insulin and subcutaneous fluids.

Two people at every in-home visit

For everyone's safety and comfort, in-home meet and greets are always with both Chris and Paige. That's a standard we won't change.

Why in-home care

Your home. Their comfort.

Boarding isn't bad. But for a lot of pets — especially dogs used to a yard, cats who hide under beds in new places, or animals on medication schedules — being dropped into an unfamiliar environment is genuinely stressful. They stop eating normally. Their sleep changes. You can see it when you pick them up.

In-home care fixes that. Your pet stays in the space they know, with people they've already met, on the schedule they're used to. For older animals or pets with health needs, the difference is real.

And for your home — a property with someone in it looks different from an empty one. Mail gets picked up. Lights are on. The little things get handled so nothing piles up while you're away.

That's the idea behind everything we do.
