Trusted care for your pets—and your home—while you travel south
Winter in Minnesota often means travel. Whether you’re heading south for a few weeks or planning an extended winter getaway, having someone reliable check on your pets and your home makes all the difference.
At West Metro Pet Care, we specialize in professional in-home pet care and winter home checks, helping you travel with confidence—knowing everything at home is being looked after.
🐾 In-Home Pet Care While You’re Away
Winter travel can be stressful for pets, especially when routines are disrupted. Our in-home pet care services allow your pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re gone.
Our pet care services include:
Daily dog walks
Cat care and companionship
Feeding and playtime
Medication administration
Visit journals and updates after every visit
In-home care is especially important during Minnesota winters, when consistency, warmth, and reduced stress matter most.
🏡 Winter Home Care & Home Checks
(Perfect for Snowbirds)
Even if you’re traveling without pets, winter home care is essential. Frozen pipes, missed packages, unattended plants, and empty homes can quickly become costly problems.
Our Home Care / Home Check services are one of offerings.
Winter home checks can include:
Bringing in mail and packages
Checking doors, windows, and lights
Monitoring thermostat settings
Watching for signs of freezing or water issues
Watering houseplants as requested
Taking trash bins in and out
General home wellness checks
Home checks can be booked as a stand-alone service or combined with pet care, making them ideal for snowbirds, second-home owners, and extended winter travelers.
