  • WHAT IS YOUR EMERGENCY PROTOCOL?

    If your pet becomes ill or injured in our care, I’ll assess your pet’s condition, contact you, and work with you (or your emergency contacts) to create an action plan. If you are unavailable, I’ll follow the instructions in your client portal regarding veterinary care protocols. I will always contact your preferred vet(s) first. If none are listed, or they are unavailable, I’ll default to veterinarians we have strong relationships with. Additionally, I'm Pet First Aid and CPR certified.

  • WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT EACH VISIT?

    You'll have ongoing communication throughout the dates you've reserved, so please don't hesitate to reach out at any time! During visits to your home, We'll refer to the information on your Portal to ensure we follow your pets' care routines as per their profiles. When I arrive, I''ll start the timer, stay for the designated duration, and then clock out. Following each visit, you can expect to receive an adorable Report Card containing photos & visit details. Every visit encompasses essential tasks such as feeding, giving attention, providing potty breaks, administering medications and checking the mail, adjusting windows and lighting, watering indoor/porch plants, taking out the trash, and tidying up slightly after your pets. 

  • HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR EACH VISIT?

    Before each scheduled visit, please download the "Time to Pet" app for easy communication and access to our portal. Keep your pet and home details up-to-date, including any access codes. Ensure essential supplies like food, cleaning items, and pet accessories are readily available. 

    For boarding  clients  please supply all food pre-packaged in servings for each day.  Also pack your pups food bowls, snacks, crate (if you use one), bed and any other item you feel they would want while staying with us.  Please make sure to update any specific instructions In your client portal. Your cooperation ensures a seamless and caring experience for your pets during their stay.

    Most clients allow us to keep keys in our safe at the conclusion of services. If you require your keys be picked up after the free meet and greet or returned at the conclusion of service there’s a $20 fee. You can also opt to use a lock box to eliminate trips to swap keys.
