Frequently Asked Questions
Worried about the safety of your pets? Don’t worry we’ve got you covered! Find answers to all your questions down below.
Visits will consist of providing fresh water, feeding, medicines if needed, playtime, outdoor time, and plenty of attention for your pets. We can also turn lights on/off, collect mail and newspapers, water plants and take the trash out.
Absolutely! We provide services such as walking your dog(s), checking in on older pets, or pets in recovery, play time, and feedings, while you’re at work. We also provide pet transportation services to and from grooming and veterinary appointments.
We come to your house to care for your pets. This way your pets are able to stay where they are most comfortable; in their usual surroundings, which helps in reducing stress for you and your pets, while you’re away.
For dogs, we recommend at least two visits per day. For indoor dogs, three times a day is better. For healthy cats, one visit per day is usually sufficient.
Our visits are usually 30 minutes, which provides enough time to feed, play and exercise, and let them relieve themselves sufficiently. Longer visits are available as well, if needed.
Many pet sitters require that your pets be vaccinated and on some sort of flea prevention. However, because of changing laws and medical research on the side effects of vaccination, and flea medication, we leave that very personal decision to pet owners. We request that you inform us either way, if your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations, so we can take precautions when walking.
We collect necessary information from you in advance on how to handle such emergencies. This includes the name and phone number of your vet, and how much you authorize to be spent on your pet’s behalf. We also ask for contact names of people who may help with decision making should you not be reachable.
We have backup plans in case an emergency arises. Fulfilling our obligation to you is a top priority. In case of severe weather that makes it impossible to travel, we collect names of nearby neighbors that can check in on your pets until we can get there. In any event, we’ll make every effort to ensure your pets are cared for.
Sure! We call that a Slumber Party and your pets will receive oodles of attention, play and TLC and your home will be occupied providing added security for your home and pets. Since this service has limited availability, please let us know as far in advance as possible.
