Questions and Answers will be updated as the questions come in….feel free to get in touch with us to ask any questions you may have. 704-763-9857

What type of pet do you care for?

We care for all manner of pets! We will dog walk a small Chihuahua or a Great Dane. Big or small, we walk them all! We pet sit for domestic, exotic and farm animals. Quite honestly, if you asked us to walk your peacock- we would give it a try!

How long have you been in business?

We have been in business since 2006.

 

Are you bonded and insured?

Yes, we are insured with Century Insurance Group for our insurance and bonding.

Are your pet sitters background checked?

Yes, all our pet sitter’s have undergone a background check with ACUTRAQ Background screening.

How long are the pet sitting and dog walking visits?

The visits are anywhere from 15 minutes to 24 hour care. We can customize our service to your pet’s unique needs.

Do you do overnight stays at the client’s house with the pets?

Yes, we are finding a lot more people requesting them. We offer 10-hour, 12-hour or 24-hour overnight service.

How far in advance do you need us to book out pet sitting or dog walking visits?

As soon as you know your travel dates, let us know! We love a lead time of at least 2 weeks.

Do you have online booking system in place?

Yes, we use Precise Petcare. You can login through the app and make changes to your Home or Pet Profiles on the go. You can also add, adjust or cancel visits from the app. 

What happens if my pet sitter has an emergency and can’t get to my pets?

We operate on a Team structure. If your Primary Sitter is unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances one of our other 45+ sitters or management can step in. We get alerts through Precise Petcare if a sitter has not arrived to your pet at the scheduled time, as an additional failsafe. This is also why we require 2 keys. One stays with the Primary Sitter and the other is in our office in case we need to complete a visit.

Why do you require 2 sets of keys?
See previous answer.
What happens if something should happen to my pet while in your care?

We hope this does not happen, but if it does we will consult with you or your emergency contact on the next steps of care. Our clients fill in their Client Profile with Emergency Contact(s), Veterinarian office information and Pet’s medical information to be referenced in case of emergency.

Can you give my pet insulin shots?

Yes. We administer medications, including insulin injections, to the pets in our care with no additional fees.

Will you bring my mail in and put my garbage out?

We sure do…at no additional charge! Mail and packages are retrieved daily. Our clients fill in their Client Profile with the day of the week their garbage is picked up and we will place the can(s) out the night before and put the cans back after pick up.
