We would love to meet you and your pets prior to finalizing your booking to ensure that everyone feels comfortable.

What to Expect for a Meet & Greet

Dog Daycare or Overnight Boarding:

I will meet you and your dog outside and we will go to the backyard. If the weather is yucky, we will likely need to reschedule.
My dogs will be let out one at a time after your dog has a chance to smell around the yard on their own. I typically don’t use leashes, but we can if you are concerned about how your dog will react.
After a few minutes of meeting both of my dogs, you are welcome to come inside while I introduce your dog to my cat. If your dog shows aggression towards my cat, we will not be able to move forward with the booking. She is an extremely laid-back cat and gets along with all of the dogs as long as their energy is not aggressive. All of the pets being safe is most important.
We’ll discuss your pet’s care throughout the meet & greet and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.
If the meeting goes well, I will make sure that the dates/times are correct for your booking before I accept it. It will then up to you to finalize the booking if you feel we are a good match for your needs. I certainly don’t mind if you need some time to meet other sitters or to finalize your trip itinerary. However, if it is a busy season, your spot will not be safe until you complete the booking.

I will meet you and your pet(s) at your home.
I will let your pets get used to me at their own pace.
I will need instructions about feeding, water, potty routines, safety concerns/precautions, medications, etc.
I will need a tour of the areas that apply to your pet’s needs. These may include the location for food, treats, litter box, yard or walking path, leashes, trash cans, pee pads, etc. I will NOT go into any other areas of the home.
We can discuss anything else that needs to be done while you are away, such as checking the mail, bringing trash cans to the curb, watering plants, etc.
You will need to supply either a key or code for me to enter your home while you are gone. I will NOT enter your home at any other times than what is scheduled through the booking. You will be informed when I arrive and when I leave, along with any pet updates.
I realize that home visits require an extra level of trust since it involves both your pet and your home. I am happy to share references for clients that have used this service before for extra peace of mind.
