What to Expect
- Free consultation
Schedule your free consultation under the booking tab. ALL first time clients are REQUIRED to have a pet sitting consultation at LEAST two weeks prior to expected pet sitting, UNLESS emergent or last minute ooking at least 24 hours notice and home meet and greet required.
During this free consultation...
I will be able to meet you and your fur-babies
See their routine and how you perform their daily tasks
Get familiar with the environment and where I will be staying
talk about concerns, questions and expectations
Finalize dates/times and price estimates
Go over and sign client forms and waivers
We only need to do a pet sitting consultation if it is the first time we pet sit for you. Once this is completed we can pet sit for you in the future without a consultation. If anything has changed since the last consultation, then we can schedule another free consultation to go over new routines/new pets in the home. Otherwise, the consultation is only needed once
2. Payment methods
We typically do NOT require a deposit for standard pet sitting, see the "holidays and special dates" section under fees/services for more information on deposits. If booked longer then 10 days or scheduled more then 1 month in advance I require a nonrefundable 50% deposit. Deposits go towards the total amount of your bill.
We will send you two estimates after your initial consultation (first time) OR after you contact me for booking, through the link you can accept whichever estimate you would like to choose. Accepting your estimate locks in your date and the rate, if not accepted your dates may be booked or rate could change. Accepting the estimate confirms your booking.
Payment can be received in Cash, Venmo or Zelle. Cash preferred.
Payments are usually received on day one of pet sitting but I will accept payment when services are completed as well. Any payment not received 24 hours after completion of services will be subject to late payment fees in the amount of $25 per 24 hours late.
3. Client forms and waivers
There are a couple of forms that we will go over in the consultation that are REQUIRED before I can pet sit for you.

These forms are usually condensed in one document*, once these forms are signed then they stay in your client folder, a copy will be either texted or emailed over to you.
*the only separate form is the medication form and the VCA form
4. Pet sitting stay
(Probably the most self explanatory :)) We will come over to your house and watch your pets, and perform any services that you requested in the consultation. We will come over at the times you requested within reason, and send pup-dates often. Your fur-babies will be in good hands with us, we cuddle with them, play with them and spend quality time with them so they don't feel stressed by your absence. If anything happens during their stay that you should know about we will let you know right away, we like to stay in communication with pet parents to ensure quality care and prevent miscommunication.
we love and treat your fur-babies the way we would my own, and commit my time and best effort into taking good care of them while you're away. You can rest assured knowing that your pets will be handled with the upmost care and love by me.
We will make sure that not only your pets are taken care of but your house as well, we can water plants, make sure all packages are brought inside and check the mail if needed. We are very clean and will leave your house as spotless as you left it, like I was never there.
