We will determine what kind of care you require and schedule an initial consultation to meet with you to see the set-up at your house, meet your pet(s), and fill out a service agreement that details what kind of care we will be providing. If one of our Independent Contractors will be sitting for you, we would likely meet you together so you both also can feel comfortable and know what is expected. (All of our sitters are very experienced with animals, and have gone through thorough background checks, are licensed and bonded, etc, so we feel confident that they will offer the quality of care we demand of ourselves.) We will match you with the best sitter for your particular needs, from once/daily visits to full or almost full-time care for your pets. Our Rates & Services page will give you an idea of the different services we offer and price ranges of each. Along with caring for your pets, we also can bring in your mail, newspapers, take garbage out to curb, alter lights and drapes, and water any plants that need attention while you are gone, usually for no or a minimal extra fee.
