Phone Hours
Mon - Sun from 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM; however please leave a message if you do not reach me, as I may be out walking a dog or checking in on a client. Pets are seen throughout the day (24hrs a day, as needed by each individual client).
Initial Meet & Greet - No Charge
This meeting is necessary to ensure that both you (the client) and I (the service provider) are comfortable with one another, also so that your pet(s) is/are able to become familiar with the person who will care for them in your absence. It is during this time that we will discuss your expectations, and the specifications of caring for your pet(s). For dog walking clients, I may also take your dog(s) on a short "trial walk" to ensure that they are able to walk on their current leash and collar without excessive pulling (this is for the safety of both the service provider (me), and your pet(s).
Keys
2 sets of working keys are required at the time of your initial Meet & Greet (unless coded door is used).
