How do I set up services for my pet? The first thing we do is set up a time to come out for a “meet and greet.” I try to schedule these during daylight hours. This typically last about 30-45minutes.There is no charge for this meeting. We get to know you and your pet and you get to know us and decide what services will be best for your situation. We will bring forms for you to complete such as service agreement and pet history & client information. If service is contracted, we will also pick up the key. (Please make sure keys work.) If we have to make additional trips to pick up forms or keys there is a service fee of $8.00.

 

When do I pay you? First time clients and holiday reservation are required to pay ˝ the total estimated fees at the meet and greet. Repeat clients leave full payment in the home, to be picked up at the first visit of that pet sit.

 

What forms of payment do you accept? At the present time we accept checks, cash and money orders.

 

Can you keep my key? Yes, It’s Puppy Luv will retain your key for future visits. Your key will be kept in a secure location with secret coding. Your name and address are never kept with your key. If you choose not to keep a key on file with us , we can leave the key behind in a secure location on the last pet sit visit or bring it back to you for an additional charge of $8.00.

 

What if my pet needs medication? We will give your pet oral and topical medications as directed by you. I am also trained in giving shots for pets needing them. For pets on medication please try to schedule your meet and greet at medication time so we may see your routine.

 

How often will you be coming to take care of my pet? We will decide on the amount of visits that are best for your pet(s) at our meet and greet. We usually do our pet sits between the hours of 7am and 9:30 pm. If you request two visits per day we will visit 12 hours apart (example: 8am and 8pm) If you request three visits per day we will visit 7 hours apart. (example: 7am,2pm, 9pm).

 

What do I do when I return from my trip? Please, Please, Please CALL US when you get home. We really do worry if the pet sit is over and we have not heard from you. If we do not hear from you by 6pm on the day you are scheduled to be home we will continue the pet sit and a charge will be added if you are already home and the visit has been made. But if you do extend your trip again, Please call us so we continue to visit your pet and are aware of what is going on. We do not want any pets going unattended for any reason.

 

Do you work holidays? Definitely. But they do book up quickly so please try to call as much in advance as possible. We make reservations on a first come, first served basis. There will be a $5.00 fee in addition to the regular per visit fee for services on New Years Day, Easter Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years Eve.
