If a credit card is on file, the service will be charged on the first day of service. The office cannot take credit card info, to pay via credit card, you must either upload it for autoprocessing or pay the invoice directly. You can also mail a check to the office and it must arrive prior to the first day of service.

We do not allow clients to hide a key or leave a key under a doormat. This is dangerous for the pet sitter and clients. Clients may provide sitters with a garage or door code, but must also provide one key in case the power goes out, battery dies or code was changed without notifying the pet sitter.

A primary pet sitter is the pet sitter that is assigned to you and your pets. Your primary pet sitter will conduct the Meet and Greet and will keep your key for use during future appointments. While your primary pet sitter may not always be available, they will be the first pet sitter to be called on to care for your pets. Please have your pet profile updated online prior to the Meet and Greet so you and your pets can get to know your sitter.
