Allowing your pet to remain in the comfort of their own home with familiar sights and smells will cause less trauma and anxiety while you are away from home. They will also be protected from aggressive animals and parasites/illnesses spread from other animals.

What happens during the initial consultation?
Prior to meeting, we will send you an online form to provide us with your contact, pet/home care and veterinary information. The initial consultation takes approximately 30 minutes and is free of charge. This introduction gives a chance for one of our team members to meet with you and your pet to discuss your pet/home care. You will familiarize us with your pet’s routine and what needs to be done while you are away from home. We will have you sign a paper contract agreeing to our terms and conditions. Please have a key ready at this time.
How do I give and receive my key?
It is easiest to make a copy of your key and have it ready at the initial consultation. Once you return from your trip and would like your key returned, we can: leave/hide it on the final visit, return by regular mail (free of charge), return by certified mail ($6 charge), or return in person ($10 charge). Clients who travel frequently or plan to use our pet sitting services in the future usually provide a key for us to keep safely on file.
