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!

✅ At the heart of what we do is making your pet feel comfortable and loved. That’s why our first step is always a personalized visit to your home at a time that works best for you. This is our chance to meet you and your furry companion in their own space. If your pet is shy or a little anxious, no problem—we’ll approach them with patience and gentle understanding. If they prefer to keep their distance, we’ll respect their space and move at their pace.
✅ During this visit, we’ll get to know your pet’s personality, routines, and needs. From their favorite toys and snacks to any medications or special care instructions, we’ll make note of every detail to ensure they feel right at home—even when you’re away.
✅ Need help with extra chores while you're gone? We’re happy to assist with small tasks like watering plants, taking out the trash, collecting mail, or even some light tidying up. We also offer lockboxes for secure key storage while you're away. Please note, a 50% deposit is required for all scheduled visits or series, so we can confirm your spot in advance.

What to Expect During Your Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Visits

✅ When we arrive, we’ll start by greeting your pet and making sure they’re feeling happy and at ease. Following your instructions carefully, we’ll tend to all their needs while keeping them safe, comfortable, and content. If you’ve asked us to take care of a few household tasks—like watering plants or gathering mail—we’ll handle those with care too.

✅ We love sharing little moments from our visits! If your pet is camera-ready, we’ll capture a few sweet snapshots and upload them to our pet care platform. Prefer updates by text or email? Just let us know! You’ll also receive a brief summary of our time together, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing.
✅ Whether it’s feeding, refreshing water bowls, brushing, or giving belly rubs and cuddles, we’ll make sure your pet feels loved and well cared for. Afterward, we’ll prepare a detailed report of everything we did in your Walkies Journal to keep you fully in the loop.
✅ Before we head out, we’ll do a final check to ensure your home and pet are safe and secure. All doors and gates will be double-checked, and we’ll make sure everything is just as you left it. Your peace of mind is always our top PAW-ority!
