3.  If my dog were to get sick or injured, how do you handle this?
First we assess the dog and call you with the symptoms to discuss. If it looks like an emergency, and time is an issue, we take them to your Vet or a VET ER while calling you on the way.  We provide after-care to monitor recovery and administer any medications. We just ask that you notify your Vet when you leave town and approve any charges in case of emergency.

6. How do you keep our keys safe while they are in your possession?
Your keys are kept in our Key Safe located in our office.  Each key is labeled with your pet's name(s) only​ and with a corresponding number that is generated in our client management portal.  There is no way to connect the key to an owner's name or address; that information is kept on the portal only.  The information you provide us is uploaded onto your client portal, which only our staff can access. 




9. How do I schedule pet sits with you?
Go to our SET UP YOUR PORTAL & REQUEST SERVICES PAGE
I will be notified of your request and contact you to set up a Free Meet & Greet. By making your reservation through the portal, it guarantees that something doesn't get overlooked. Once I approve it, it automatically goes on the schedule and you will receive a confirmation email. Alert: Same Day reservations or within a 24 hour period will not go through, so you would have to request that in your conversation feed in your portal so that I can schedule it for you.  It is a security measure to help us not get overbooked; you will have to send me a message through the portal or text me so that I can make sure that we have availability. For those that aren't very computer savvy, just email me your reservation request to include dates and times of visits and I will be happy to schedule it for you.


11.  Do you board pets at your house?
Unfortunately, we do not.  We are out doing pet visits and rarely home.

                                 
      




Why Choose A Pet Sitter?
​By: Ken Tudor, DVM, WebMD

Pet sitting is generally of two types: Pet sitters that come to the house at specified times to feed, allow bodily elimination, and exercise the pet are the most common. Other pet sitters will not only care for the pets but can stay at the pet owner’s house so pets have constant companions, or at least night companions. Pets can also show signs of stress when their owners are away but it tends to be less severe when they are in the familiar surroundings of their own homes. In 30 years I have yet to treat stress induced bloody colitis in a pet that has been cared for by a sitter. Having sitters also has the advantage of protecting the pet owner’s home. Newspaper and mail collection by the pet sitters eliminate "away from home" signals to possible “bad guys.” Pet sitters create near normal household activity that also discourages potential robberies like bringing in newspapers and the mail, they can care for indoor and outdoor plants and alternating indoor lights. Pet sitters are more likely to recognize potential health problems sooner and can arrange for the pets to be seen by a veterinarian. My experience is that pets with pet sitters tend to be less subject to separation stress. 
So, Which is Better - Boarding or a Pet Sitter?
To me the obvious choice is pet sitting. It is as close to a normal environment for the pets as possible and is also great insurance against crime. It is my personal choice for my pets."
