-
Do you administer medications to pets? I will administer oral or topical medications only (ex: eye drops, ear drops, ointments) as long as the pet is cooperative and medications can be given safely. I do not administer injections such as insulin or subcutaneous fluids.
-
My pet is being treated for a contagious illness, will you be able to offer services still? No, for the safety of other client's pets and my own pets I will not be able to pet sit pets that are being treated for a contagious illness such as parasites, Giardia, Parvo, respiratory infections, etc.
-
Do you require a minimum amount of visits? Yes, for the pet's safety and wellbeing I do require a minimum amount of visits. A minimum of 2 visits a day is required for dogs with access outside via dog door and a 3rd visit in the evening before bed is required for dogs that are crated or don't have a dog door. On the 1st day of services if the client leaves in the morning and feeds breakfast I will allow a minimum of 1 visit for dogs with access to a dog door and for dogs without access to a dog door I require 2 visits. I will allow 1 visit for dogs if the client will be returning home midday/afternoon. Cat and small animal visits must be at least once daily, every other day visits are not offered.
-
What type of pets do you care for? I offer care for a variety of pets such as dogs, cats, small animals such as guinea pigs, lizards and fish, and small farm animals such as chickens, goats and sheep.
-
Do you accept last minute requests? I try my best to accommodate requests but availability is not guaranteed since I am a solo pet sitter and I am limited to how many clients I can take in a day. I do recommend booking services as early in advance as possible especially around the holidays as my schedule fills quickly.
-
Do you allow shared visits? Due to liability concerns I do not allow other individuals such as family members, friends, or neighbors, or other pet sitters etc to care for your pets during the duration your pets are in my care.
-
What payment methods do you accept? The methods of payment are cash, Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal.
