Drop-In Visit Policies

Below are our policies related to our Drop In Visits. Please take a minute to also review our FAQs & General Policies.

Before Your Booking

Please leave specific instructions relating to the current visit if there are any changes in routine. While we have the instructions in our files from the original consultation, things may have changed slightly from the previous visit. Also, please advise us if there is alarm code or key changes before you leave. Make sure we have up-to-date emergency contact info in the case we are unable to get into your home or if there are questions or issues that arise while you are away. Please leave food, medications, special treats, or cat litter disposal bags where we can easily see them.  

Pets Indoors

Cats must be always be kept indoors unless they are feral cats in your care. Not liable for injuries, attack or invasion by other animals or wildlife. Dogs must always be indoors when not being serviced by sitter. Dogs who have access to outdoors via dog door must sign waiver if owner requires dog door to be always open.

Mandatory minimum visits

Minimum drop-in visits for dogs are 3 visits per day. Dogs require at least 3 potty breaks a day. Holding their bladder for extended periods of time past 8 hours is dangerous to their health. Cats require a minimum visit rate of one per 24 hours. No skipped days, no exceptions.   

Walks

Drop-in visits may include walks at no extra cost.  

Arrival home

Owners must notify the sitter when they return home safely. If you are returning late, please give notice in case we need to provide more services for your pet until you arrive back home. 

Cancellation Policy

If a cancellation is made on short notice, owners will receive a partial refund if a nonrefundable deposit was not previously included.
