We take a look at everything we will be responsible for. Our sitters go through a checklist that includes items such as: Food & Water Dish Location Extra Food Location Meal Prep Instructions Medical Concerns & Medication Instructions Favorite Toys Where to Put Scooped Litter / Poop Bags Plant Watering Instructions Mailbox Instructions Setting up your Lockbox, Smart Lock Code, or Obtaining Two Copies of Your House Keys. Going Over Your Pet’s Usual Routine Any Other Details Concerning your Visits “Setting up The Door” For Dogs – We also “set up the door” in a way that simulates how your dog will react when we come to your house while you’re away. It’s really easy- we’ll all go outside for a couple of minutes, then your sitter(s) will go inside to meet the dogs by themselves. As long as your dog reacts well and lets us get near them/pet them/put a leash on, we know we are good-to-go for your visits!

We Work as a Team and Do Not Assign a Specific Walker or Pet Sitter to Each Pet. You are Hiring the Company and Not an Individual. All of Our Sitters are Experienced, Vetted, Background Checked, and Provide the Same Level of Care. For All Our Services We Prefer to Keep the Same Sitter When Possible. However the Sitter May Experience an Emergency, Already be Booked, Has the Day Off, etc. There are Different Pets to See Every Single Day. Our Team's Schedule is Developed Based on Our Client's Needs, Requested Time Blocks, Visit Locations, etc.
