What are the benefits of an in-home pet sit?

You can have peace of mind and confidence that your pet and your home are being taken care of while you travel! Boarding facilities offer the bare minimum and often keep your pet in small spaces with other dogs that can leave your pet anxious, all while up-charging you for basic essentials (I will NEVER charge you to give your dog a peanut butter kong). You don’t know who will be watching your pet or for how often, and feeding or medication instructions may not be fully communicated among multiple staff members.

I’ll spend as much time with you and your pet as is needed before your sit to ensure that everyone is comfortable with each other. Your pet can live comfortably in its own home and maintain its own routine and diet while you travel.

PLUS, someone will be watching over your home nearly 24/7 while you’re away who can manage and notify you of any unexpected occurrences (package deliveries, power outages, weather events).

Do you offer extended sits?

Sits lasting 7 or more days are eligible for discounted rates! Please reach out so we can discuss your travel plans and pricing.

Can you provide references?

Yes! I’m more than happy to connect you to several past and current clients. Please ask if you are interested.

Do you have set arrival / departure times?

I’ll show up to begin the sit whenever it is most convenient for you and your travel plans! I will gladly meet you at 5am if you have an early flight or even stay in your home the night before!

What if my flight is delayed?

Unexpected travel delays happen and are often out of our control. I’ll continue caring for your pet and home until the moment you walk back through your door—even if it’s several hours after your initially scheduled itinerary—at no extra charge.

I ask clients to send me a message from the plane just before take-off and again when they are in a car or on the train heading back to their house. I’ll leave when you feel most comfortable.

Do you cat sit as well?

Yes! I love cats! The rate for cat sitting is half of all posted prices.

Do you administer medications?

Yes! Please have any medication instructions clearly written out. Depending on what’s required, I may ask you for a demonstration to ensure we are both comfortable providing the care your pet needs.

What’s your cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up until two days before the first sit date by 12:00pm (48 hours notice). After that, 25% of your scheduled sit will be charged.

What about privacy and discretion?

Anything I may see in your home stays in your home!

If a piece of your living room wall falls off and reveals a large amount of hidden cash, I’ll put everything back and will repair the drywall. It’s not my business!

Any photos or videos I take of your pet or inside your home will remain strictly between us. They will never be posted to social media or used outside our direct messages unless I have your explicit consent.
