We at South Florida Pet Sitter have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation, and want you to know that the health, safety, and wellbeing of our pets and clients are top priority. While this virus does not affect our beloved furry ones, we understand and share your concerns around it.
At this time, we wanted to let you know how we could offer additional support over the next few weeks:
Flexibility:
Flexible Bookings: We understand that the spread of the coronavirus may have caused a disruption in your travel plans—be it cancelled flights or cruises, travel bans or restrictions, or general concern around travel. If you are looking to plan future travel but are unsure if plans will change due to the uncertainty of the situation, our flexible booking policy allows you to cancel or postpone your rescheduled pet service to a future date at no penalty
Additional Services And Support:
With the recent announcement of Broward and Miami-Dade counties closing schools due to the coronavirus, in addition to health authorities recommending “social distancing” to help prevent the spread of the virus, we know you are likely to limit your outdoor activities, spend more time caring for your children, and also work from home. We can also understand you may be wary of visiting dog parks or even going to stores at this time.
Nevertheless, pets may get bored and restless (and will need to burn some energy), and you will need to replenish your basic pet essentials. For this reason, we are offering the following services to help ease the process (all services include free pick-up and drop-off):
“Move The Stay, Keep The Play”: If you had an overnight service booked with us that you have to change due to cancelled travel plans, you can choose to swap overnight service for playtime for your pet.
Doggy Daycare: Send your pup to South Florida Pet Sitter for either a half-day or full day. This will include feedings, a walk, and at least an hour of playtime in our backyard.
Daily Walks: Opt for a leashed walk around your neighborhood to ensure your pup gets his or her dose of daily exercise, and some fresh air.
Park Playdates: If your pup is an avid park-goer, you do not have to disrupt his or her routine. South Florida Pet Sitter can take your beloved pets to their favorite park for 30 mins - 1 hour of dedicated playtime.
Pet Errands: If you are practicing social distancing and are reducing the time spent outside your home, we can run your pet errands on your behalf. This includes anything from pet store runs when online stores are backed up, to vet appointments and grooming appointments.
