It's that time of year where vacation planning starts! Don't forget to make arrangements for your fur kids as well! Make sure to start looking for sitters ahead of time as we fill up quickly this time of year! Also wanted to answer some frequently asked questions.
1. Do I board at my residence? No, Cherished Paws is designed to keep your pet in their home and environment where they feel more comfortable and their normal routines can be kept.
2. What services do I offer? I offer daily services for people who work long hours and need their pets let out, fed, played with, walked and given lots of love.
I also offer staying at your residence and taking care of your pets while you're away traveling. It's a combination of house sitting and pet sitting. I send pictures daily to my clients so they can see their cherished pets and how they are doing.
3. What do I charge? It depends on the services needed. I provide quality care and genuinely treat each pet as if it were my own. I also watch your property while you're away. My fees are typically what it costs to board your pet at a vet clinic or at a boarding facility. Yet I provide more personalized care. Pricing is done on a case by case basis.
4. Do I do grooming? No, I do not. However if your pet gets dirty while in my care I will give them a bath. If you need other services like nail trims or bathing, I am able to do those as long as you have a non aggressive pet that is used to nail trims.
5. What information do I need from my clients? I require a meet and greet for every client I take. It allows me to meet not only my clients, but their owners. At least one meet and greet is required shortly before my services are needed. That way I am not a stranger to your pet, or to you the owner.
6. What experience do I have in pet sitting? I have worked for several vet clinics over the years and have general knowledge and slightly above in regards to most pets. I have also been pet sitting for over 10 years.
7. What kind of pets do I pet sit? I am experienced with Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Chickens, Ducks, horses ect...
8. What do I need from my clients? A detailed written summary of your pets daily schedule. Feeding times, medication times, walk times or play times, vet information, and a way to stay in contact with you during your time away, or an emergency contact. Any special requirements that your pet may have. Etc
9. What types of payments do I take and when is payment expected? I do Cash, or Venmo payments. I prefer half the payment at the meet and greet, and the other half the day my services start.
