We've be juggling so many challenges throughout the shut-down but the latest gas price hikes have been the hardest to deal with.  A virus cycles out (eventually) but the loss of of supply chain workers and the increasing demand to open up leaves us with the harsh reality that there is a cost we can't ignore and must embrace.

Effective immediately new fuel surcharges will be added to the services to help keep us going.  Instead of increasing each service rate we've added a fuel surcharge  of $5.00 to your daily visit or a $7.00 surcharge when multiple visits a day are needed.

We appreciate you entrusting us with your fur family members and look forward to weathering the inflationary challenges in front of us.

Once you've chosen a Pet Sitter for your pet, invite them into your home for a meet and greet before you plan to leave.  You can observe how they interact with your dog or Cat and show them around your home  Tell them where they will find keys, food, emergency contacts, and any instructions, and help them to get to know your pet, such as:

1. Your pet's name, breed, age and medical history such as a recent surgery, medical conditions, allergies, etc.
2. Your Vet´s information.
3. Tricks and behaviors, including any verbal cues or hand signals, and how do you deal with your pet's                  behaviors.
4. Behavioral or medical information on your pet, such as your pet's recent surgery. 
5. If your pet requires any prescribed medicine and how to administer.
6. What is your pet's daily schedule such as how much do they poop, when and where,. and how much they will eat, and where the pet supplies and food are kept including dry food, wet food, and any treats that are permitted.
