FAQ's

Are you insured?
I am insured. My liability coverage extends to any of your pets while they are under my care or control and is applicable to all services including our daily dog walking.

Why is a professional pet sitter the best choice?
Hiring the teenager down the street to keep an eye on your pet may seem like a good idea, but choosing a professional pet sitter is a much better one. Professional pet sitters ensure your pet is not exposed to other pets, make certain your pet’s daily routines are followed carefully, and can help keep your pets safe from harm. Moreover, choosing a professional pet sitter helps to eliminate the trauma often caused by travel for both you and your pet.

Is there anything I should to do prepare?
There are several things you can do in advance. First, be sure that the temperature settings in your house will be comfortable for your pet throughout your absence. Second, be sure you have enough pet supplies to last the duration of our care. From kitty litter to your pet’s favorite food, we want to be sure we have the needed materials to help your pet. You may want to let your neighbors know that we’ll be stopping by. If you have a home security system, it’s a good idea to notify your alarm company too. Don’t forget to leave us with emergency contact numbers as well.

Do you board cats?
Not at this time. Cats are creatures of habit more often than not, and keeping them in their own environment is usually the best way to care for them while you're away. While we can't offer boarding services, we will be happy to care for them in your home.

Are you available for times when I'm not traveling?
Of course. Whether you'd like to use our dog walking services while you're at work or you have other needs, we'll be happy to meet them at any time.

If my pet gets ill while I'm away, what will you do?
We'll get quite a bit of information from you before you leave, so should this situation occur, we'll know exactly what to do. We'll need the name of your vet, contact information for others who can make medical decisions regarding your pet's health, and an emergency plan should something happen to your pet while you're gone.

I'd like to have my neighbor care for my pet part of the time, and you care for my pet the other part of the time. Is that possible?
This situation isn't possible. Because of problems that can arise from two entities caring for your pet, we do not share pet care responsibilities.
