Q: Why use a pet sitter?
A: Simply put: pets hate change. Kenneling your pet is traumatic! They're confined to a small space in an unfamiliar place without you. Hiring a pet sitter allows their meals, walks and overall routine to continue, without disruption, in your absence. Stress-free for them, guilt-free for you!

Q: Where do you care for the pets?
A: Pet sitting begins and end in your home. We don’t bring pets to our home. Again, the goal is keep their routine exactly the way it it. Also, all of us have our own pets who might not be thrilled about a new addition to the household!

Q: I have more than one pet, is there an extra fee?
A: We don't charge an extra fee for 'multiples'. Depending on the number of pets and the complexity of their routine you may want to consider a longer visit to make sure everyone gets the care they need.

Q: How often do you visit our animals?
A: For the safety of the animals, if we are solely responsible for their care, the minimum is once a day. Most of our dog parents prefer two or three visits a day whereas cats, who are fairly independent, typically need just one visit a day. It's up to you, whatever you think it best.

Q: How long are pet sitting visits?
A: We can provide 30-minute and 60-minute visits or a combination of both. Most of our clients prefer a 30-minute visit but those with young animals or more than 3 or 4 may want to consider a longer visit.

Q: Does the same person take care of my pets?
A: In most cases, yes. The sitter you meet with initially will be your pets' primary caregiver. However, if your primary sitter is unavailable or has a scheduling conflict you'll have an opportunity to meet with another sitter.

We never provide service without meeting the pets first!

Q: How much exercise will my pets get?
A: We’re happy to go for walks at every visit. In fact, the majority of our time is spent on walks since most of the other care items don’t usually require much time. Regular exercise is one of the reasons pet sitting is preferable to kenneling.

Q: Do you administer medication?
A: Yes. We can give all types of medications: pills, lotions, shots & fluids. There is no additional fee.

Q: What is the Overnight Care schedule?
A: Typically we arrive in the evening to provide their dinner and walk. We may need to leave briefly to care for our own pets and get dinner. Then we're back to spend the night. The following day we provide breakfast and the morning walk. The following evening: Rinse and repeat until you return. Remember this is just a general schedule, every client has different needs which we're happy to discuss.

Q: What do I need to provide for Overnight Care?
A: While we’re staying overnight we think of it as becoming a temporary member of your family. We ask that you provide a comfortable and clean place for us to sleep. If we have your permission we may bring our pets with us for a slumber party!
