FAQ

I mostly service the Covington, Mandeville, and Madisonville areas, but do have clients in the Bush and Lacombe areas as well. If you are outside of my service area, I will consider traveling outside of my service area for an additional fee to be determined once an address is discussed, and I can Google Map the address. Additional fee is approximately $5-$10.

Please send me care instructions and veterinary information sections for each pet. Be as detailed as possible in the instructions. It is also a good idea to share my information with your veterinarian and let them know that you will be out of town. In case of an emergency, it is important to let your veterinarian know that I would be the one bringing the pet in and seeking treatment.

I will always contact the pet owner first to seek permission before getting veterinary treatment. Please also leave a local emergency backup number with me. I would love to set up a free meet and greet with you and your pets to see if we are all a great fit for each other. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me to schedule a meet and greet or if you have any questions or concerns.

With my extensive background in pet care and a heartfelt dedication to animal well-being, you can trust that your pet will be in caring and capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and providing them with a companion while you’re away.

I need to know if the pet has shown any form of aggressive behavior/aggression. -Is the animal allergic to anything or has allergies? -I would like to know if your pet has any medical concerns? I have given my dogs and cats medication in the past, as well as have administered medications to my clients pets, specifically dogs, cats, and the cavy, and I have no problem with administering any medication your pet needs.

I find that the Greenies Pill Pockets work wonders for pets that have trouble with taking pills, but I am more than comfortable with just giving a pet their medication the old-fashioned, tried-and-true method, if that is their preferred method. I also have experience in administering injections to cats. -I would like to know if your pet has had any behavioral problems in the past with regards to other animals, children, and men? -Are there any triggers your dog(s) has/have while on walks that I need to be aware of? -I would like to know if your pet has ever bitten someone?

-For Meet & Greets: We will go over all policy and procedures and will discuss doors/codes/keys and if you have a security system or cameras in your home that I should be aware of and things like if there will be any visitors I should expect like a gardener, housekeeper, or other people that may appear in/around the home, and where the main water shut off is in case of a leak, etc. -Are there any places in your home that are off-limits to the pet(s) and myself? -If we decide to book, I request that every pet parent write out/type out a detailed list for each animal for my files: (1) Pet feeding schedule and food and treat information

*I do bring and carry with me various small 3-calorie chicken, salmon, or beef training treats that I can share with my dog walking clients with your approval. I also carry various cat treats for my feline friends. Please let me know if you would prefer that I strictly use your treats provided. (2) Veterinarian Information (3)

*Local Emergency Contact Information: This is someone that can be a back-up for you while you are away/out of town that I can call on in case of an emergency. My husband Charles is on my Rover account as well and is my back-up. However, it is always best to have a local back-up here for you as well. I also have a personal back-up professional pet sitter that I work in conjunction with. (4) Anything else you may think I need to know (Medications and intake, quirks, likes and dislikes, location of items I may need to use like cleaning supplies, allergies, hiding spots, favorite toys, spots, etc.)

All services are per animal, and there are additional animal fees. An individual pet profile must be completed on each animal in order for me to provide a service to that animal.

While house sitting at your house, I will clean up all messes made by the animals and myself, bring in the mail, take out the trash, water your plants, and any other small things you need help with while you are away. Please just be sure to discuss what all is expected and needed of me at the meet and greet and leave me a detailed note of instructions.

House sitting is per night, up to 24 hours. (For example, if you need an 8 am start time on Saturday, then the end time would be at 8 am on Sunday.). If more time is needed than that, then an extended fee will occur, and/or we can set up additional drop-in visits and/or walks. Please ensure that all requests have a start/end time.

Please be aware that at this time, I am not able to provide 24/7, around the clock, constant care for your pets. I do have regular daily clients that I provide walks/drop-ins for during the day, as well as my family and own pets that I have to attend to during the day.

When I am booked for an Overnight/House Sitting, I will spend the entire night with the pets at their home overnight (usually 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. during the week, during the school year) summer months and weekends/Holidays are more flexible time-wise, and I will also provide a mid-day drop-in/walk, included in the house sitting fee. If more time than that is needed, we can book additional drop-in(s)/walk(s). Thank you for understanding!

While your pet is in my care, please provide their own personal collar (with tags), leash, food, treats, puppy pads/belly bands (if needed), poop bags, kennel/crate (for crate trained pets), and any medications needed with instructions, etc. This will ensure that your pet is comfortable and has everything they need while in my care.

I have worked with blind and deaf dogs, dogs with severe separation anxiety, epilepsy, and Cushing's disease, and cats with diabetes. I am experienced in administering insulin injections to cats who have diabetes. I also have experience in farm sitting for chickens and goats.

I also offer Pet concierge, Wedding Pet Care, Photo Shoot Pet Care, Pet Taxi Services, and can offer pick-up and drop-off services for your pets' appointments and/or pick up your pets' medications for you.

Please reach out to me for the prices for each service. I currently have the BWOGUE headrest restraint seatbelt for my dog/cat travelers, and I also carry a 100 piece first aid kit with me at all times.
