Client Interview
New Client (Free interviews)
The first interview would be held at least 7 days prior from service date. This will be a meet and greet for you to inquire about anything you may be interested in. If you have decided that day that you would like us to be your pet's care provider, all paper work can be filled out and payment can be set up.
A second interview may be necessary. We will need to be reacquainted with your pet and the property. This meeting should be held no later than 7 days prior to services needed. At this time we will also collect key and payment is due.
Repeat Clients : A 15 minutes re consultation may be required to update information.

An additional fee of $8 per visit will be added for major holidays, including New Years Day, Easter, Independence Day, Memorial day, Labor day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, & Christmas Day.

Extreme weather conditions present a unique problem when visits are scheduled.

Plant Watering
We will water your plants at a charge of .50cents per plant after the first 5. We are not responsible for plants that die. We will do our best to water your plants per your directions.
Security Systems
Our pet sitters are familiar with most types of security systems. We will review your system with you at our initial client consult. Please do not give us your master code but setup a unique code for our use while caring for your pet. We will not watch your pet if you have other people coming and going from the location unless you sign a waver stating "We will not be held responsible for your home." This is because we can not assure that the persons coming and going will secure your home. In that case it becomes a he said she said battle.
Snakes: No Poisonous Snakes Please
More policies and regulations will be provided at time of consultation.
