Home Fees FAQs Testimonials
 
  • Q: Why use a pet sitter?
    A: Our pets love routines and schedules, and dislike change. Boarding your pet in a kennel is stressful for the pet and you. Left in an unfamiliar place without you, your pet could develop behavioral problems, eating disorders, illness or fleas. Hiring a pet sitter allows their routine to continue in your absence. They receive the same care and affection they’re used to getting from you.
  • Q: Do you care for our pets in our home?
    A: Yes. Our services begin and end in the clients’ home. We don’t bring pets to our home. Most of us have our own pets and that would be too disruptive to them.
  • Q: How often do you visit our pets?
    A: The minimum is once a day (sorry no every-other-day) The rest is up to you. Most of our dog parents prefer two or three visits a day. Cat parents typically prefer one visit a day as they are fairly independent. Multiple visits in a day are usually spaced 6-12 hours apart. When we initially meet with you we’ll work out the best schedule.
  • Q: How long are pet sitting visits?
    A: Visits are typically 30 minute increments. We’re done when the pet has been cared for properly and some "quality time" is spent with the pets. All pets have different needs, if we feel we can’t provide adequate service within the timeframe of a normal visit we may suggest a double visit for a minimal additional fee, please ask for details.
  • Q: Does the same person take care of my pets?
    A: In most cases, yes. Rest assured, that regardless of which sitter is assigned to your pets, they are fully insured and bonded, and carefully screened for the position. They are also, of course, animal lovers!
  • Q: Do you administer medication?
    A: Yes. We can give all types of medications. Generally we don't charge extra for this unless the pet is a difficult patient.
  • Q: How often will you take our dogs for walks?
    A: We’re happy to go for walks at every visit, in fact, the majority of our time is usually spent on a walk as most of the other care items don’t require much time. This varies with each client.
  • Q: Are there any other fees?
    A: Christmas, Memorial Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and the day following Thanksgiving are charged at a rate of time and a half ($25) per visit. If we have to purchase additional supplies or services for your pet(s) (i.e kitty litter, food, etc;) of course we would ask that you reimburse us what we paid.
  • Q: How does payment work? What if I have to cancel my service?
    A: If cancellation is made within 24 hours of a reservation, we reserve the right to charge a one visit cancellation fee. This policy will be strictly enforced during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season.
  • Q: How much notice do you need?
    A: We appreciate as much notice as possible. For first time clients, a four day minimum is required to set up the initial visit to find out your pets routine, and to see us interact with your pets. If you are a past customer, and have a signed contract (with hurricane clause) on file, then 48 hours is usually sufficient. Please don't leave town until you have verbal confirmation of your reservation! Although we try to fulfill every order for service, we are often not able to accommodate last-minute requests.
