New clients - 20% off first walk or drop-in!
How does it work?
Great question! First, please fill out this form to inform me of your needs. Then, we set up a free 20 min "meet + greet" so I can get to know you, your pet, and their routine. Finally, if it's a good fit, you can book your care.
What is your cancellation policy?
For walks and drop-ins:
Same day 4+ hour notice = 100% refund. For care beginning before 12 noon, notice is required by 6pm the day before.
2-3 hours notice = 50% refund.
Less than 2 hour notice = no refund.
For housesitting:
7 days notice = 100% refund of total booking.
5-6 days notice = 50% refund of total booking.
4 days notice = 25% refund of total booking.
Less than 4 days notice = no refund.
I appreciate your understand of the cancellation polity. Adequate communication and planning is necessary to make myself available to all who need it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, I am insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept Zelle, Venmo, and cash. Your booking is confirmed once payment is received. I can provide a receipt if needed.
What kinds of pets do you care for?
I am happy to care for your dog, cat, fish, bunny, bird, or other small rodents. Puppies and kittens must be on solid foods. If your puppy is unvaccinated, I will stick to indoors only or very short outdoor potty breaks.
At 4+ months, your dog must have a NYS license and rabies vaccine.
I do not care for reptiles.
For safety reasons, I cannot accept dogs that have a history of biting, attacking, or other severe aggression (leash pulling/lunging is fine).
What is your service area?
I serve the neighborhoods of Murray "Furry" Hill, Kips Bay, Turtle Bay - a 1 mile (20 min walk) from E34th St and 1st Ave.
Your pet will be cared for by me, your neighbor!
What happens at a meet and greet?
This is the time where I get to know your pet, their routine and needs, and to ask any questions. Please have an emergency contact and vet information ready. This short visit is complimentary.
If you would like a walk or drop in as a "test", you must book that service following our meeting.
Will I have the same walker/sitter every time?
Yes! I operate this business and provide the care myself.
Do you board or provide daycare?
No, I do not accept pets into my home. I do provide housesitting services in your home. Inquire here!
Do you have a rewards/referral program?
Word of mouth is the highest form of flattery for my work. I appreciate you trusting me enough to refer to you friends and neighbors. For each successful new referral booking, you get 1 free 30 min walk/drop-in (max of 3 per/month).
Just tell them to mention that you referred them - that's it!
Do you do pack walks?
No. I only offer private walks. For multiple pet households (or neighbors), we would discuss your pets personalities/needs to determine if they can be walked together or separately.
Will you take them to the dog park?
Your dogs safety is my #1 priority and I would never leave them out of my control. I do not utilize dog parks or other off leash areas.
Do you work on holidays?
Yes, I am available on holidays. Walks and drop-ins incur an additional $5 charge per booking. For housesitting, please fill out this form for a quote.
