Please understand that the sitters who work with us are hired as Independent Contractors, and all bookings they get through Julie’s Pet Care are exclusive to us. Clients are often given their caretaker’s private contact numbers or emails when we are sitting for their pets, and they are always welcome and encouraged to communicate any info to you as needed. However, for any future pet care bookings, please contact Julie’s Pet Care and we will make all the necessary arrangements to ensure you and your pets are taken care of and are matched with an appropriate sitter. Because our Independent Contractors have signed an agreement that prohibits them from soliciting and/or accepting employment offered directly from clients, it makes it awkward when clients contact them first.
