Q. How much notice do I need when I make a reservation?

Once you are an established client, a week in advance is typically enough time. However, if you need services for a holiday, please call or e-mail, to request service as far in advance as possible. Holidays book up very quickly so please book early!

Q. How many times a day should I have a pet sitter come visit my pets?
Many animal behavioral problems are the result of isolation, boredom and insufficient exercise. For your pet's comfort, it's best to have a minimum of two visits per day for dogs; three visits would be ideal. One or two visits per day for cats are usually sufficient. Other pets, such as birds, fish, and other small animals will vary.
