So what’s the first step?
Please send me an email (or go to Contact Us page) containing:
I will call you back within the next 8 business hours and will schedule an interview
with you.
Please be advised that we cannot accept animals that previously attacked human
beings or animals without being provoked or animals with contagious diseases.
Is the interview really necessary?
Yes, it is! It’s very important that your animal I get acquainted in your house where it
feels comfortable to get to know a new "friend of the family." You can meet me and
feel assured that you can entrust me with the care of your beloved pet. Also you can
introduce your pet's daily routine to me and, for shy pets, you can show me their
favorite hiding places. I will go over any medical special needs, its further likes or
dislikes, address contractual questions and also learn where you store its food or
what the favorite toys are. Another purpose of this visit is to outline my services and
allow you to select which services you would like.
The interview will take 30-45 minutes, and I will charge $10 for it. If you decide to hire
me, the fee will be applied as a credit to your first invoice. I can only guarantee
reservations once the interview has taken place.
Before holidays and vacations / family travel seasons it’s best to call me
and make reservations early, preferably 6-8 weeks in advance, since
these times tend to book quickly!
Once we have decided on services, I will ask you for two sets of keys to your house
and explain my safety policy in regards to storage of your keys (Ready-Key code #)
and further privacy issues.
Will I get anything in writing?
Yes, of course! You will get a copy of our contract for your files, my business card and
cellular phone number for emergencies.

insured by the Business Insurers of the Carolinas - a Specialty Insurance Carrier for
professional pet sitting companies.

My rates vary depending on what kind of service you desire for your pet and the
number of pets and visits per day.
The typical amount of time I spend with your animal is 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
Active and energetic breeds - or if you’d like to reduce your pet’s body weight in
a natural way - accompany me on extended walks through places such as Jester
Park for up to 3 hours.
How much time do cats and dogs require each day?
Animals require physical and mental stimulation just like humans do. If proper
attention is provided on a daily basis, it will energize their body, mind and spirit. Many
animal behavioral problems are the result of isolation, boredom and insufficient
exercise. Our program is a great service for your dog when you can't be around to
exercise and play.
Dogs generally require 2-3 visits and cats 1-2 visits a day.
Please keep in mind what the famous TV Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan says about
dogs' need to be out in the nature:
“…the genes of a canine [dog] are crying out for it to go out and wander with its pack,
explore new territory, roam around, and search for food and water.”
A dog should be walked three times a day.
