| Q: |
How long have you been in business? |
|
| A: |
Since 2003. Before
this business, I spent 30+ years in the corporate world. |
| |
|
|
| Q: |
Are you bonded and insured? |
|
| A: |
Yes. |
|
| |
|
|
| Q: |
Do you have any other specialized training? |
|
| A: |
Yes. I am certified in animal care
and health issues. I have been trained to administer medications
and injections. |
| |
|
|
| Q: |
What are your fees? |
|
| A: |
Prices range from $17.00 to $25.00
for each 1/2-hour visit. Bird care may cost more. I very rarely
spend less than 35 minutes at your home. Cost depends on services
rendered and distance to your home. Initial introduction meeting
is gratis. |
| |
|
|
| Q: |
Do you have references? |
|
| A: |
Yes. They will be provided by email at the
time we schedule the initial meeting. |
|
| |
|
|
| Q: |
Do you have a service agreement? |
|
| A: |
Yes. I will bring a service agreement
to the initial meeting. We will discuss, complete and sign.
A copy will be provided to you. |
| |
|
|
| Q: |
What type of information
is requested on the service agreement? |
| A: |
Included, but not limited
to, the following:
emergency numbers,
veterinarian name and phone number,
where food, carrier, etc., is kept,
traits/habits, and
responsibilities to home. |
| |
|
|
| Q: |
How do I know what
was done during your visit? |
|
| A: |
I will have
a customized “Daily Log” for your pet(s). For
instance, it lists dates and times of visits, what services
were provided and, last but not least, there is a “Comments”
section discussing how the time was spent after your pet’s
needs were provided. We may play with their toys. Kitties
love the laser pen I always have handy. Or, maybe I’ll
just shower your pet with love. Whatever we do, it will be
lots of fun! |
| |
|
|
| Q: |
When should I provide you with my house
keys? |
|
| A: |
During our initial visit I would
like two (2) sets of keys. One would be kept on my person
when I visit your home. The second set will be at my home
in a locked box. If you don’t have the keys during my
initial visit and I need to return to pick them up, I will
need to charge for a visit. |
| |
|
|
| Q: |
If I want you to sit for
my pet(s) and I am not on a regular schedule, how much advance
time do you need? |
| A: |
I request 48 hours. I realize
that that may not always be possible so I try to work with
you and your pet to add you to the schedule. |
