Before we start any pet care services, it’s really important for us to get to know your pets and understand their individual needs and preferences. That’s why we always suggest setting up a “meet and greet” before any services begin. This meeting is a great opportunity for your dog walker or pet sitter to meet your furry family members and learn all about their specific requirements. It’s also a chance to build trust and comfort between you, your pets, and the caregiver.

During this meeting, we’ll focus on your pets’ safety and well-being while creating a positive connection with them. The caregiver will reach out to you to find a time that works best for you to visit your home. This way, we can have an open conversation about everything related to your pet’s care—like their feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any little quirks or health concerns they might have. This collaboration ensures we’re all on the same page and ready to meet your expectations, setting the stage for a smooth and successful partnership.

If you’ve chosen dog walking services, your dog walker will also take your dog for a short assessment walk during this meeting. This little adventure gives your dog a chance to stretch their legs and helps the caregiver observe their behavior in a real-world setting. It’s a wonderful way for the walker to connect with your dog and adapt their approach to fit your pet’s personality and energy levels. Ultimately, this thorough process is all about making sure your beloved pet gets the best care possible, keeping them happy and healthy while you’re away.

Meet & Greet Information 

**Getting to Know Your PAW-sitter or PAW-lker!**

✅ We believe that every pet deserves a warm welcome, so we’ll come to your home at a time that works best for you. Our first priority is to introduce ourselves to both you and your furry friend. If your pet tends to be a bit shy or anxious, don’t worry—we’ll approach them with gentle respect and understanding. If they don't feel like saying hello that's ok too, we will respect their space and boundaries.
✅ During our visit, we’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s likes and dislikes. We’ll locate their favorite food, toys, and any medications they might need. We want to make sure we have all the important details that will help us provide the best care possible.
✅ We’re here to help in any way we can, so let us know if you need assistance with other tasks like watering plants, taking out the trash, doing some light housework, or picking up the mail. If you’d like, we can provide a lockbox for securely storing your key while you’re away. Just a heads-up—we do ask for a 50% deposit for any scheduled visits or series.

**What to Expect During Your Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Visits**

✅ When we arrive, our first step is to greet your pet and check in on their well-being, following your care instructions closely. After ensuring they’re happy and comfortable, we’ll take care of any other tasks you’ve asked us to handle, like watering your plants or collecting your mail.

✅ If your pet is up for it, we love to capture little moments during our time together! We’ll upload these snapshots to our pet care platform and can send updates via text or email if you prefer. You’ll also receive a brief summary of our visit, so you can rest easy knowing your furry friend is safe and content.
✅ After feeding, watering, brushing, and giving plenty of cuddles (and tummy rubs!), we’ll prepare a detailed report of everything we did during our visit. This way, you won’t miss a moment of what happened while you were away!
✅ Before we leave, we’ll do a final check to ensure your pet and home are safe and sound until our next visit. We’ll confirm that all gates and doors are securely locked and that everyone is accounted for. Your peace of mind is our priority!
