What payment methods do you accept?

I accept cash, checks, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, and card payments through Square.

⸻

Do you require a Meet & Greet before booking?

Yes! Every service requires either an in-person meet & greet or, at minimum, a phone/video conversation before your first booking.

The meet & greet is free and helps ensure we’re a great fit — both for your pets and for us as humans. These can happen:

• At my home (recommended for dogs staying with me, so you can see the space)

• At your home (recommended for in-home services)

• At a neutral location such as a dog park or walking trail

During this meeting, we will:

• Discuss your pet’s needs, personality, and routine

• Review any special instructions or medical care

• Introduce your pet to my dog, Daisy, to make sure they get along

• Confirm final pricing (pricing may vary based on the level of care your pet requires)

• Exchange personal contact information for ongoing communication

⸻

Do you bring your dog Daisy to every booking?

I will always ask you to confirm that it’s OK first — I will never just show up with my dog. Daisy is my emotional support dog and an important part of my life. She often joins me for house sitting and some other services. She is calm, well-socialized, and has never shown aggression toward other animals.

If you prefer no other dogs in your home, I can make arrangements for Daisy during your booking.

⸻

What areas do you serve?

I live in Greene County and serve Greene and surrounding areas. If you are outside my immediate service area, I may add a small travel fee — but we’ll discuss and confirm that together before booking.

⸻

How is final pricing determined?

Most of my services have a standard base rate listed on my Services page. However, the final cost may be adjusted if:

• Your pet requires extensive care (medical, behavioral, or otherwise)

• Travel is outside my standard service area

• Additional add-on services are requested

We will confirm all pricing during the meet & greet so there are no surprises.

⸻

What should I prepare before you arrive?

We’ll go over all of this at the meet & greet, but in general, I’ll need:

• A key or access code to enter your home (I triple-check this to avoid lockouts!)

• Written instructions for your pet’s care, feeding, and schedule

• Emergency contact information for both you and your veterinarian

• Any special notes for your home (alarm systems, plant care, etc.)

⸻

Will I receive updates while I’m away?

Yes! With every booking, I send text updates after each visit or at least once daily for extended stays. These include pictures (and sometimes videos) plus a short written summary of how your pet is doing and any updates or concerns.

⸻

Can you administer medication?

Yes — I am experienced in administering medications, including pills, liquids, and injections, to both pets and humans.

⸻

Do you take pets with special needs?

Yes, as long as their needs can be met safely and they are non-aggressive. I will go over all details during the meet & greet to ensure I can provide the right level of care.

⸻

What’s your cancellation policy?

I ask that you let me know at least one week in advance of your booking if you need to cancel. This helps me plan my schedule and take on other clients who may need me. If something unexpected comes up, just let me know — I appreciate open communication.
