The number of visits is determined by you, the pet owner. Normally, cats require only one visit per day, unless medications need to be given. Dogs usually have two visits per day at morning and evening. The number of visits and time of visits are determined at the time of the first visit.

The length of each visit depends on the client’s needs. The average visit lasts 30-45 minutes. If you request a longer visit, the fee will be adjusted in accordance with your needs.

The pet sitter will also bring in the mail, open/close blinds as needed, take out the trash, clean litter boxes as needed, turn lights on or off, etc. to provide your house the security it needs while you’re away.

You will sign a vet release form at the time of the first visit. If you’re pet becomes ill while you are away, we will contact you first, unless we deem it to be an emergency. In the case of an emergency, we will take your pet to the vet you indicated on the vet release form. If their office is closed, we will take your pet to the emergency vet clinic.

We have one pet sitter who is able to do overnight stays on most occasions. This type of visit usually requires more advance notice so that she can mark those dates on her calendar.

If any of our pet sitters have an emergency or become ill, one of the other pet sitters at Precious Paws will make sure your pet receives the same love and attention as well as the specific services you requested.
