We are experienced in the care of most household pets.
We care for dogs, cats,birds, fish, rodents, ferrets, reptiles,
and rabbits. If you have an exotic pet needing care please
call us.
Yes, we are fully insured through State Farm. With an optional property liability rider. This coverage
is similar to a security bond, but offers more extensive protection
to our customers. The added coverage we carry is provided
for accidental breakage, mysterious disappearance and theft.
No. We currently care for all pets in our charge in the comfort
and safety of their own homes. This provides a secure, familiar
environment to your pets. Your pets stay on their own schedule,
the same familiar smells around their home not to mention
their own toys, food, water bowls and their sleeping arrangements.
This is proven to ease the stress of your pets during you
absence.
Sure thing! We will to the best of our ability administer
any vitamins and or medications your pet may require, at no
additional charge. We will request detailed information at
our initial meeting and if possible for you to show us exactly
what works best for your pet.
First we will make an appointment to meet with you and your
pet prior to your pets' needs in your home. This "Meet
and Greet" will take approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
During this time we give you the opportunity to get to know
us and watch how we interact with your pets. In addition,
we will take this time to discuss our policies with you and
answer any questions you may have. This valuable time also
provides us with the opportunity to get to know your pet's
individual needs and routines, so that we can provide a consistent,
fun and loving experience for them while you are away. We
will take notes, ask and answers questions to make sure we
have the necessary information to properly and lovingly care
for your pet as closely to the way you do. At this time we
will offer to you our Key Holder Program.
This allows us to
keep on file 2 (two) sets of keys, both marked with color
and a code (which no personal information, such as name or
address) to be stored in our office, safe and secure when
not in use. 2 (two) sets of keys are required, in case of
a key that is broken, does not work properly; locked in the
house, etc…this way we have access to your home to
care for your pets. Then, when it's time for you to travel,
we will visit your home as arrangements were made, providing
all of our services and plenty of love! We will also clean
up any "accidents,"bring in the mail and newspaper,
water plants, adjust blinds and rotate the lighting to give
the house a "lived in" look while you are gone.
Daily dog walks are designed for the pet owner who works away
from home and are in need of a midday potty break, to administer
medications, play and or walk your pet, tend to the liter
box, give fresh water and leave you a daily report. Daily
dog walks are perfect for dogs that are older, require
more attention or dogs that are very active. We will make
an appointment for an initial consultation, similar to a pet
sitting consultation. We will come visit your pet every weekday
between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m on any week days you require service, Monday through Friday.
Do you need to take your pets to the vet and the only appointment they
had was in the middle of your workday? Or perhaps the groomer
cannot fit your pet in, except during your working hours?
Not a problem! We will make sure your pet makes it to appointments
when you are unable to get away from work. If you have used
us for sits or visits and we already have all of your information
on file, the only thing we would need is a 24 hour advanced
reservation Otherwise this service does require an initial
meet and greet (free) consultation with you and your pet prior
to your pet's first trip.
We are able to accommodate dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards,
ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, and rabbits. We can
accommodate farm animals on a limited availability, please
call for availability and pricing. All pets require one minimum
visit per day, and dogs require a minimum of two visits unless a midday or puppy/value visit is required.
If you are like most pet owners, you have either boarded your pet
or arranged for friends and neighbors to take care of your
pet while you're away. However, transporting your pet to a
kennel can be inconvenient, and friends may not provide the
level of care your pet requires. It is often uncomfortable
and awkward to impose on friends and family. It is also commonly
known that pets do better in their own environment. We believe
that our service is a great alternative to boarding facilities.
Pets are happier staying in their own homes. We follow your
pet's normal eating and exercising routines, which helps to
keep them healthy, happy and stress free. At a kennel many
pets become stressed being left in a strange environment,
strange sounds and smells, surrounded by other unfamiliar
animals. Not to mention your pet is at much greater risk to
pick up an illness. You, the owner, will not have to be inconvenienced
by having to bring your pets to and from the boarding facility.
When you arrive home, your pets will be happily awaiting for
you. Most importantly, we give your pets the "personal" touch with individualized
love, attention, and companionship!
We always require 2 copies of your house key when we pet sit.
We offer our "Key Holder Program" for your convenience.
The Key Holder Program allows us to keep 2 copies of your
house key on file in a secured locked box in our office until
your next reservation. Clients choosing the Key Holder Program
never have to worry about paying the $10.00 fee, plus travel
expenses for key pickup/drop-off once they fill out the service
contract at the initial meet and greet. They can just call
in for future pet sitting reservations. There is NO charge
of key storage. If you would like your keys returned at the
end of service, please leave a note stating so that upon your
returned confirmation we can make arrangements to drop off
your key for a $10.00 fee, plus travel expenses. With that
said, we will not leave your keys on the final visit
in case you are delayed and we need to get back in your home
to care for your pets. Your keys are safe with us. They are
color and secretly coded so no one would ever have any type
of information as to whom they belong to and or where. The
reason we require 2 sets of keys is quite simple, keys can
break, get misplaced or the pet sitters accidentally lock
themselves out of your house. We then have the backup key
secured at our office. This provides uninterrupted service
for you and your pets.
While we will do everything in our power to provide a safe
and secure environment for your pets while you are gone, accidents
and or illness can happen. We sincerely hope that doesn't
happen, and we will do everything possible to prevent it.
During the Initial meet and greet, we will provide you with
a Veterinarian Release form to sign. This allows us to seek
medical treatment for your pet should it become necessary
in your absence. We also ask that you provide your vet with
a copy of this form, so they can keep it in your pets file.
We do offer overnights and hourly care. Please see
the rates and service page for more details. However, call
well in advance as this service is performed on a first come-first
serve basis.
If you are a brand new client, payment is due at the time
of the initial meet and greet before we start your service
or left on the kitchen counter for the sitter to retrieve
at the first visit. We accept Cash, Checks, Money Orders or
Credit & Debit cards. For our existing clients we will
leave an invoice for you during service and payment can be
left. For your convenience we accept credit card/debit card
payments through PayPal.com. If you have an e-mail account
we can e-mail your invoice to you with a link to PayPal where
you can securely make your payment online. Whichever method
you choose, we found that most customers like taking care
of the bill up front so they do not have to worry about it
later. If you have a special situation, please ask. We will
do our best to accommodate.
Whatever it takes! We will walk, play, cuddle, play ball,
Frisbee or fetch, lots of hugs & kisses, or maybe they
are better to themselves without too much attention, we will
respect that too! We will pet, brush, and lots of pats on
the head, with tons of praise! We will let them out, walk
them or just play in the yard. We will clean up, making sure
your home is tidy, neat and just the way you left it. Most
of all we will give your pet the "Personal" touch!
YES!!! Not only will this provide a safe environment for your
pets, but a more secure one too. Safer for your pets if we
are walking and another animal approaches your pet, we then
have more control and most times can prevent injury to your
pet. In the event that your pet "dashes" having
a color with tags will benefit us all. We will provide our
own Pet Tags, as an added security measure, which we clip on their existing collar with all of our contact information
as well. The only exception would be that you have a secure
fenced-in backyard and then we would not require a leash.
If you have an invisible fence, we will not be held responsible
for the loss of or harm to any pets that manage to escape
the borders, although we will do our best to track them down
and bring them home safely. We also clip our own ID tag on the pets collar that has contact information if the pet is found by someone else. But it is a good idea that you
check the batteries on their collars BEFORE the sit begins.
Please let us know in advance if your pet has a history of
escaping and their behavior (i.e.: Do they return home shortly?
Or prefer to find the nearest pond and take a swim? Will they
come when called or run away further from you, as they act
as though they cannot "hear" you calling them?)
In the event of a power outage, pets with invisible fences
will be walked on leashes. |
