POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
I provide in-home pet care anywhere in Flagler County, including Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, and Bunnell. Your drop-in pet care service is totally customizable; I’m more than happy to walk your dogs or let them out in the yard for potty breaks, scoop litter, administer medication, play with toys, or simply spend time with them. If it can be done within the 30 minutes allotted, I’m glad to do it! If you don’t have specific requests, I will usually let the pets decide. If your dog has tons of energy, we may play fetch in the backyard. If your cat is a lovebug, we might cuddle on the couch. I like to let my furry clients set the tone for the visit. I also love thorough instructions! If you are able to provide me with a written agenda, it always makes my life easier and helps me ensure that I don’t miss anything when caring for your pets.
I use a positive and fear-free style of training and interacting with your pets and promise that I will NEVER hit them for any reason. However, I know that deterrents are sometimes necessary for everyone’s safety and absolutely do not judge those who choose to use them. I am experienced with reactive, anxious, and special needs pets and will offer services to them, so long as I feel I can do so safely. Safety is my number one priority and I never forget that you are the one who knows what’s best for your pets. If you prefer that I use deterrent equipment when working with your pets, such as pinch collars, e-collars, or muzzles, I am happy to do so (though you must provide this equipment).
You may book drop-in visits as often as you’d like for any period of time. This service is a popular option for people who are traveling or working long hours, as it allows your pets to be taken care of in their own homes and on their normal schedules. Drop-in pet care visits are more cost-effective than hourly or overnight pet sitting, dog daycare, and boarding but still provide your pets with plenty of care and companionship.
I text a picture and an update after each visit, so you can keep tabs on how things are going at home while you’re away. I ask clients to allow me a 15-minute window on either side of the official booking time, as this gives me some wiggle room to plan around full schedules, bad weather, last-minute emergencies, etc. If you would like me to arrive at a precise time I am happy to do so, but ask that you make this request in advance so that I can plan my day accordingly. In the rare event that I am more than 15 minutes early or late for your booking, I will let you know ASAP. I have emergency plans in place to ensure that your pets are taken care of no matter what. If I am caring for your pets while you’re away, then I consider them to be fully my responsibility. To this end, I have put plans in place in case I am incapacitated or there is some form of local emergency that might prevent me from reaching your home.
I give you my word that I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect. I try to leave things exactly as I found them and make a point to clean up after myself and your pets before you return. There’s nothing worse than coming home after a long trip to find dirty floors, a stinky dog, and wilted plants! If you have specific requests (i.e. collecting mail, taking the trash out, watering plants, or dusting), I will be happy to work those into the visit for no additional fee. Otherwise, I use my best judgment and try to keep things looking exactly as you left them.
