Frequently Asked Questions
Who will be caring for my pet(s)?
Jahna and/or Paul. You will meet both of us if you decide to use our service. Click here to read about us.
Do you use employees?
No! This is the #1 red flag when hiring a pet sitter! Click here to read why. We have a level of trust in each other that we could never have in a hired hand, and we like having a smaller, more personal service. We know all of our customers, and more importantly they know us. We've been here for 17 years, when you hire us you get us. Turnover for pet care service employees is high, positions are part-time and the pay is low. Most employees are students or between other positions, they move on as they can and the pets don't understand why a person they've become attached to suddenly stops coming to see them. There's also petty theft, no-shows, unexpected sick days or vehicle breakdowns, mistakes and ommisions, all sorts of things that can go wrong. It's not worth it.
How long do your walks and visits last?
As long as it takes. Since we don't have employees to keep track of and only take on a fixed number of visits each day we don't need to worry about that. We have times listed for our visits to give our customers control over what they pay- you know your pets and routines, pick what works for you. You can mix and match, whatever you want. Midday walks take about 15-20 minutes on average for a good break in their day and to hopefully "empty out", but we let your dog dictate the pace of thier walk, not the clock.
What is your cancellation fee?
Call or text us before we show up and there is no charge. We understand that our customers are busy and may need to schedule or cancel a visit on short notice; we do our very best to accommodate all last minute requests.
Why are your prices better than so many of the other services?
Because we don't use employees. When you hire a service with employees you pay two people for each visit, every single visit. This is a simple business. If you hire people that need to be supervised while scooping litter or walking a dog, you've hired idiots, excuse our candor. There is no added benefit from oversight in dog walking or pet sitting, you're just paying two people for the work of one. You just pay more, you don't get more.
Do you give medications to pets and is there an additional charge?
Yes, you can arrange for us to administer pills or injections to your pets. There is no additional charge for this service- pet medications cost enough already, and we don't like to take advantage of illness for karma reasons.
How many times a day can you come?
That depends on you and your pet's needs. We will do our best to accommodate your schedule and we usually make between one and four visits per day to a customer. Typically people request one or two visits for cats, two or three for dogs, but it varies from situation to situation. It's up to you.
Is there a holiday or weekend surcharge?
No, we charge the same price per visit all year round.
Why don't you have more Yelp and other online reviews?
We don't spend money with Yelp or Google, and we don't buy reviews from the hundreds of marketing companies that sell them, like reputationstacker.com, customerlobby.com, getfivestars.com, reviewinc.com, signpost.com and many more. In 17 years we just haven't had that many actual reviews, our customers have been more personal with calls, cards, gifts and such. We're not a restaurant, most people don't review their pet sitters unless something goes really wrong. Many of the reviews you read are bought, you can tell by how perfectly awesome they are. We don't ask our friends and family to review us, we don't incentivize our customers to do so, we don't buy them and we don't fake them ourselves. It's deceptive and ultimately worthless.
What about snowy or rainy days; do you still work in bad weather?
Our general rule is that if you can make it to work, so can we. We've never had to cancel a visit due to weather (we have 4wheel drive vehicles, and a spare vehicle, which helps!).
