We’ve been caring for the pets of Snellville, Lilburn, and Gwinnett County since 2003 — and one thing that has never changed is how deeply pet owners love their animals. What has changed is what they’re asking, worrying about, and searching for. Here’s what’s on every pet parent’s mind right now, and how 2 Paws Up is already ahead of the curve.
💰“Is Professional Pet Care Worth the Cost?”
Let’s be honest — everything costs more these days. Pet owners are scrutinizing every line item, and professional pet care is no exception. But here’s what savvy pet parents are discovering: the cheapest option is rarely the safest one.
Gig-economy apps like Rover and Wag may seem like a bargain — until something goes wrong and there’s no accountability, no insurance, and no background check to fall back on.
At 2 Paws Up, every team member is a W-2 employee — not a contractor. That means background checks, comprehensive insurance, GPS tracking on dog walks, and a professional standard of care that gig workers simply cannot match.
The 2 Paws Up difference: When you hire us, you’re hiring a professional pet care company with over two decades of experience — not a stranger from an app. Learn more about who we are.
🏥“How Do I Keep My Pet Healthy — Not Just Alive?”
76% of pet parents actively seek products & services that improve pet health
90% of dog owners say their dog’s health is as important as their own
94M U.S. households now own at least one pet
Today’s pet owners aren’t just thinking about food and water — they’re
thinking about mental stimulation, enrichment, routine, and emotional wellbeing. Pets are family, and family deserves more than the bare minimum.
That’s exactly why we created our Paws & Play enrichment visits — dedicated playtime designed to engage your pet’s natural instincts, reduce boredom, and keep tails wagging even when you can’t be home.
Pro tip: A mentally stimulated dog is a well-behaved dog. Regular enrichment visits can reduce destructive behavior, anxiety, and separation stress significantly.
✈️“Who Can I Actually Trust With My Pets When I Travel?”
Travel anxiety is real — and for pet owners, it often has nothing to do with the destination. The question, keeping them up at night is: “Will my pets be okay while I’m gone?”
37% of pet owners report worrying about finding reliable pet care, with affordability and availability being the top two concerns. Booking early, using a trusted professional service, and having a detailed care plan in place makes all the difference.
Our new client Consultation & Behavior Assessment ensures that before we ever walk through your door without you, we know your pets — their routine, their quirks, their medical needs, and exactly what makes them feel safe and loved.
Returning new client perk 🎉 Your Consultation & Behavior Assessment fee is waived when you book your second vacation pet sitting trip or second month of dog walking with us. Because loyalty deserves a reward.
🐱“Should I Really Board My Cat?”
Short answer? For most cats — no. Cats are territorial, routine-driven creatures. Their home is their sanctuary, filled with familiar scents, sounds, and hiding spots. Uprooting them to a boarding facility — even a nice one — can trigger serious stress responses including appetite loss, sleep disruption, and anxiety behaviors that linger long after they come home.
In-home cat sitting is widely recognized as the gold standard for feline care. Your cat stays in their own environment, on their own schedule, with one-on-one attention from a professional who knows exactly what they need.
Did you know? A cat who stops eating for more than 24–48 hours is at risk for Hepatic Lipidosis — a potentially life-threatening liver condition triggered by stress. In-home care eliminates this risk entirely.
🐩“How Can I Give Back to Animals in Need?”
More pet owners than ever are looking to do more than just love their own pets — they want to make a difference in the lives of animals who haven’t yet found their forever home. Fostering is one of the most impactful ways to do exactly that.
We’re proud to partner with Mavroudis Poodle Rescue — a dedicated organization giving poodles and poodle mixes a second chance at life. Fosters are the heartbeat of their mission, and you might be the perfect fit.
Not sure if fostering fits your lifestyle? Here’s the secret: as a 2 Paws Up client, you already have a professional pet care team ready to support your foster dog with walks, check-in visits, and care when you need it most.
Interested in fostering? Reach out to Mavroudis Poodle Rescue to learn more. And contact us — we’d love to help make it work for your family. 🐾
