Free consultation
I will arrange for a free consultation to meet you and your pet before my first pet sitting visit . During this initial visit, I will ask for important information regarding your and your pet’s needs. I will fill out a pet & house profile sheet , obtain 2 copies of your house key, get any security codes , and have you show me around your home and discuss any special needs you may require.
I will ask for emergency contact names, addresses and phone numbers, name and number of your vet, someone else with an extra key and someone that can make decisions about emergency problems pertaining to the animals if I am unable to reach you by phone.

Pet Sitting Visits
Visits are scheduled from 7:00 AM. until 7:30 PM, Every day , including weekends.
My standard visit is typically 25-30 minutes ,this includes pet care, food, fresh water, play time , and any pet related clean up. Up to 3 pets are included at no extra charge.
Some pets will require only one visit per day, while others may need two, three , or more visits. Most indoor dogs are more comfortable with at least 3 visits a day . I do require that pets in my care be visited a minimum of once per day for cats and 2 times per day for indoor dogs .
