Q. What does it mean when your
sitters are certified?
A. Certified means that our sitters have completed
a course of study in animal care and health issues
through NAPPS the National Associational of Professional
Pet Sitters. This course teaches our sitters what
to look for in a pet that may be showing signs
of illness and how to deal with a pet in a medical
emergency.
In the case of cats, they were studied and tested
in the publication “Cat Owners Home Veterinary
Hand Book” by Delbert G. Carlson, D.V.M.
& James M. Giffin, M.D.
In the case of dogs they studied and were tested
on the publication “Dog Owners Home Veterinary
Hand Book” by Delbert G. Carlson, D.V.M.
& James M. Giffin, M.D.
The exam consists of 80 questions such as, “What
is the most common health problem seen in cats,
indicated by intense itching, violent head shaking,
a dry crumbly, and foul smelling, dark brown waxy
discharge from the ears?” & “What
are some of the most common poisons seen by vets?”
Q. Why shouldn't I have my neighbor's
child check on my pet?
A. In most cases you get what you pay for. Most
people would feel better by knowing that their
pets and home are in safe hands and if something
does go wrong, we are fully insured. All of our
pet sitters are professionally trained, bonded
and insured individuals skilled in providing loving
care to pets and homes.
Q. What time will you visits
my pets?
A. When caring for your pets, we strive to keep
as close to their daily routine as possible. When
we meet with you for your initial consultation,
tell us about your pet's normal activities and
we will do our best to keep that schedule!
Q. What is the reason for the
free In-Home Consultation?
A. There is no charge for our first consultation.
It gives our sitter the opportunity to meet you,
get acquainted with your pets and get detailed
information about caring for your pets and your
home.
Should you decide to use us, the sitter will complete
a service agreement with you and pick up a house
key.
