Ask Me Anything

It’s natural to have tons of questions when considering leaving your beloved pet with a stranger for the first time. To help you, I’ve provided a list of some of the frequently asked questions I'm confronted with below.

What Happens on a Pet Sitting visit?

When you are gone, many things have to be done on a daily basis to make certain your pets are safe, secure, comfortable and happy.  We go through a 20 point checklist every time we visit with your pets.

• Bringing in the mail & newspaper

• Giving each pet clean, fresh water

• Giving each pet the proper amount of food

• Making sure each pet eats their food

• Checking on the welfare of shy or reclusive pets

• Giving treats (if they are allowed)

• Cleaning up any “accidents” or messes that may occur

• Watering plants

• Having play time with each pet

• Cleaning the litter box

• Maintaining a comfort level in the home

• Monitoring the condition of the home

• Ensuring the house fence perimeter is secure

• Changing the lighting arrangement

• Making sure pets are in their proper place

• Making notes for the owners

• Administering medication if needed

• Checking each pets condition

• Re-locking the house

• Disarming & Arming your security system

At each visit, we will leave a detailed note as to that visit's events and happenings so you have a complete record of our time spent with your pet.  Upon your return, you will find a card requesting you to call or text us upon arriving home (regardless of the time).  This insures, that should you be delayed for any reason, we will continue to make visits until we hear from you - so your pet will always be taken care of.

You are always welcome to check in (text is optimal for this) while you are away to find out how the visits are going and how your pet is doing.  We know lots of Mom's and Dad's appreciate this!

Are you Bonded and Insured?

Yes, we are Licensed, Insured and Bonded.

We feel it is important to provide the highest standards of care to your pets and your home.  We are insured and bonded for your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being.  You may rest assured that your pets and home are safe with us.
