SERVICE AREA: Local: Leominster, Fitchburg and Lunenburg |
1. VISITS: All dogs must be seen a minimum of twice
per day when you are away. All cats/ or other small pets
must be seen a minimum of once per day. I cannot
provide every other day care when you are
away. Insured Business.
2 "IGNORING" a pet. If you own both a dog and a cat,
please do not ask the sitter to "ignore" the cat(s);
i.e.(not charge) during a visit. I would not allow the
oversight of a cat in need of food, medical care or
human attention.
3. HOUSE KEYS: I can keep your house key until after
your return unless otherwise instructed. If you are
delayed returning home I can continue to feed your
pets(see key return fee on rates page). If you would
like me to leave your keys on my last visit prior to your
return home, I must be informed of this in advance.
4. WALKING PETS: I will walk all pets who enjoy walking.
This is true for cats on leashes, as well as dogs.
Unfortunately some pets just don't know how to go for a walk. If a
pet fights the leash, chokes themselves, or does not know how to
walk properly, I cannot continue to walk that pet. Each visit
includes a walk unless one of these conditions makes it
impossible.

| 5. PET SITTING: I am available to visit with your pet(s) for 1-3 visits per day (7) days a week. Availability is limited if you need three visits per day, please book early for this service. A third visit would be late, from 10-11 p.m. and a $5.00 surcharge would apply. I understand how important your pet is to you and your pet(s) will be well taken care of. I have a (3) visit minimum for new customers. 6. LENGTH OF VISIT: On all pet sits to your home, my visitation lasts 30 - 45 minutes. 7. PET CARE: My service may include brushing on a routine basis, I do not provide grooming. If your pet requires a trip to the groomers while you are away, I can accommodate you if arrangements are made in advance of your departure. A transportation charge will be added for this service. 8. ADEQUATE FOOD SUPPLIES: I will ask at the preliminary interview that you have enough food on hand for the pets to eat during your absence. If you miscalculate and run out of food, a shopping charge will be added to your bill if I have to purchase food. This is in addition to the actual cost of the food and/or supplies. 9. INTERVIEW AND INSTRUCTIONS: I will allow 30-45 minutes for the preliminary, courtesy interview. During this interview I normally get all necessary instruction on the care of your pets. If you feel that additional time is needed, I can provide time, but it will be chargeable for an additional fee of $18 - $20.00, depending on location. 10. DESTRUCTION BY PETS: As a rule, most damage to property, furniture, and carpets is done by pets who get lonely and bored. Most owners don't know in advance what will provoke their pets to such action. I make all attempts to limit any destruction by pets of household goods. I cannot be responsible for damage done by your pets to your home. I use common sense and attempt to limit and restrict bad behavior by pets. 11. CANCELLATION POLICY: Last minute cancellations (under 1 week) for reserved pet sits will be Charged 50% of the contracted amount. I cannot replace the open time frame at that point. 12. EARLY RETURN: For in your home care, If you decide to come back a day or two early and give advanced notice, credit will be for half of the remaining balance only. If I show up for a visit and your home, the fee applies. 13. OUTDOOR CATS: If you have a cat who remains outdoors all day and comes in only at night, I cannot assure that I will be able to have your cat indoors at the exact time for my visit. If a cat does not return for the nightly containment, I will put the food and water outside. To assure that your cat(s) are safe while your away, I prefer that a cat/cat(s) remain indoors. I cannot be held responsible for cats remaining outdoors. 14. SHARED RESPONSIBILITY: Many people like to include neighbors, relatives, and friends in the pet sitting duties. These well-intentioned actions may cause confusion during a shared responsibility sitting assignment. Most common among problems is overfeeding, unlocked doors, lost keys, or missing some feedings altogether. I absolutely cannot be the only one responsible for any sitting assignment where others are going to share the workload. I advise only one person, myself, be responsible for the entire assignment. If the assignment is to be shared, I wouldn't want automatic blame for any mishap, unless a mishap is truly my fault and I admit my fault. 15. SICK PETS: I will not knowingly accept sitting assignments with sick pets. However, if you have aged, infirm or medicated pets, this is not a problem if you discuss with me the special needs of the pet. I never take any chances with sickness. Any pet showing signs of illness will be taken immediately to your vet, or, if unavailable at the time, my veterinarian for treatment. |
