Do you require a meet & greet prior to caring for my pets?
Yes, as I want to make sure we are all a great fit. The initial meet & greet is free of charge. If you would like me to meet your pet multiple times a drop in fee or dog walking fee will be charged. If you decide to use my services at the time of a meet & greet a 50% deposit is required. I will also provide a contract for you to fill out prior to my stay which is used for my business purposes and insurance.
Dogs and cats need to have proof of a current Rabies vaccine prior to any stay, drop-in or walk.
Do you stay at my home 24 hours a day for "overnight" bookings?
I will sleep in your home overnight. During the day I will leave to attend to personal needs, but no longer than five hours.
Can you give my dog or cat oral medications or subcutaneous fluids? I have the ability to give subcutaneous fluids, oral medications and subcutaneous injections depending on your pet's disposition. I'm unable to give oral medications to birds or bunnies.
Are you insured?
Absolutely! I am insured with the company Pet Care Insurance . They not only provide coverage for pet sitters, as well as groomers, dog trainers and even pet taxis.
What do you do in case of an emergency?
I will immediately call you and/or your emergency contact. It is VERY important to have my form "Authorization for Veterinary Care" completed prior to my stay. Also, request your veterinary clinic/hospital to note on your account the names of people who are allowed to make decisions on your behalf. Unfortunately, without your permission, the veterinarian will not legally be able to provide care other than stabilization. Having your credit card number on file at your primary veterinarian is important, as your pet may not be released from medical treatment without payment in full.
What is your cancellation policy?
Overnight stays: please provide at minimum seven days or forfeit your deposit collected at the time of our meet and greet.
Dog walking or drop in visits: two day cancellations are accepted
Cancellation by me: anytime a pet(s) poses a danger to the health or safety of me, other people or pets you will be notified immediately and any unused portion of your payment will be refunded minus deposit.
I am flexible with your needs as I understand plans may change and emergencies happen.
How far ahead in time can I book with you?
Overnight visits: at least two weeks prior.
Dog walking or drop in visits at your home: at least three days prior.
I require a meet and greet prior to all services for all new clients.
During the summer and holidays months I book up quickly so more than a two week notice (or more) is highly recommended.
What other animals do you care for?
Snakes, spiders, lizards, hamsters, rats, mice, guinea pigs, ferrets, chickens, birds, bunnies, etc. I am unable to medicate bunnies or birds.
Will you walk my pet in inclement weather?
For the safety of your pet (as well as me) temperatures below 32 or above 85, outdoor trips will be for a potty break only. Frostbite during the winter or burned paws in the summer are no fun, and result in expensive and sometimes months long, painful vet appointments.
How will you communicate with me while I'm gone?
Texts and phone calls. Feel free to check in as much as you like!
Will you have visitors/family to my home.
I will NEVER have someone spend the night at your home. I WILL ask in advance if a family member or friend can come over during the day, especially with longer stays and further locations from my home.
Can you water my plants, take trash out, pick up mail/packages?
Indeed! If you have any plants you don't want, let me know! I'll be glad to take them off your hands (just don't tell my husband.)
