Pet Sitting is awesome!! We care for your pets in their home, where they feel comfortable. They get to keep their routine, see the same person every visit, get to enjoy their backyard and play with all their favorite toys and games.
Questions to ask when interviewing potential pet sitting companies on the phone ~
Are you insured? By whom?
Yes! This makes sure that if anything happens to your pet under my care, I am covered by an insurance company to take care of any liability.
Do advertise while working?
Definitely not! I want your home and pet's safety along with mine first. Advertising on vehicles or handing out cards while walking your dog is very dangerous, it lets nosey neighbors and potential burglars know that your are away.
Is this a full time job for you? Would there ever be a time that you could not accommodate a client visit request, given sufficient notice?
Yes!! This company is my baby, I am full time, every day thinking about people's pets! I should always be able to make a mid day visit with 48 hours notice, with less notice I would like to say yes always, but extreme circumstances may apply. For holidays and vacations, I always reserve plenty of space for my clients, and only accept new clients accordingly, but the sooner you tell me your plans the better!
Is there any time during the year you would not be available for service?
No, once you are my client I will always do my best to accommodate your service requests. I am available all holidays and when I leave for holiday, I have a back up pet sitter, always!
What is your back up plan if you become ill or have an emergency?
I have partnered up with another long time pet sitter, who will help out in emergency situations. She has been a leading pet sitter in the greater Frisco area for over six years, and is a mentor to many new business owners.
Will I be notified if someone else is coming into my home other than you or your back up?
This will not happen. When I hire an employee, hopefully soon, I will be notifying all of my clientele via newsletter and will send out information and requests to meet when necessary.
Ask for a list of references.
Always call them too!! They provide exclusive inside information into how this person does their daily visits.
What is a consultation? Why is it necessary?
This is the initial meet and greet of the pets, parents, and the pet sitter. I will be gathering the paperwork that was sent via email for you to fill out on each pet, your vet, yourself, and your home. I welcome your questions and am very through and promise you will feel completely comfortable with me and the service I provide. This also gives me the chance to go through your daily routine and see where all the necessary supplies are in your home.
How do I make appointments after the initial consultation?
Easy!! Your are a phone call or text away from being on my appointment book. You can always email me details of your plans or requests, but the quickest way to get ahold of me is by phone.
Specifics on care during vacation ~
Initial contact is made via text when I arrive at your home
Updates throughout care as specified
Receive a care sheet detailing each visit: including potty habits, exercise, mood, and requests done around the home.
If you decide to come home early, just let me know as soon as you decide, and you will only be charged one visit in addition to what has been completed, the remainder paid will be a credit to your account.
