HOME SAFE SERVICE
Our Home Safe Service can provide valuable peace of mind when you are away and is a great option if you’d like for us to ensure you’ve returned home before ending service.
Here’s how it works:
1. Choose the Home Safe Service from the online system when you book your appointment. Select it on the date and in the time block by which we would need to hear from you to ensure you have made it home safely.
2. If we do not hear from you by the end of the time block you selected, we will call you, at the number listed in your contract.
3. If we do not get in touch with you, we will engage a sitter to get to your home as soon as possible and your schedule will resume. Each visit after contact is attempted will be charged a Last Minute Fee of $10 in addition to the cost of visit.
4. If we do not hear from you within 48 hours, we will call your emergency contact and make arrangements for them to take over your pet care.
$30 per appointment

HOTEL / B&B PET SIT
Hotel and B&B clients do not need to register online. Instead, simply email our office with the date and time frame you need a sitter and we’ll get you set up! Once you’re set up, your sitter will meet with you when they arrive for the start of your visit. You will need to supply them with one key which we can lock in your room at the end of the appointment. If you’d prefer to meet with your sitter ahead of time, a Client Meeting can be scheduled for a $20 charge. Your credit card will be charged three-hours prior to the start of your appointment. For this service, we do accept custom visits longer than one hour depending on availability.
