PET & HOUSE SITTING PEOPLE HELPER

Yes, if you would like to arrange support for a loved one, you can book me to visit someone else and handle payments separately. However, they have to know about and agree to my visiting them, and I would like to meet them by phone before I come over as well as confirm with them by phone before each visit.

No, I cannot perform health-related or medical support.  This means I would be unable to dispense medicines, assist with bodily functions or wound care, hand feed a person, perform bodily lifting such as wheelchair to car or bed to chair. For this type of assistance, you would need to locate someone for "personal or home health care services."

I can spend time with someone in their home or local neighborhood, engaging them in conversation and activity, improving their sense of well-being and reducing feelings of isolation. Companion care provides social emotional support and interaction, tailored to individual needs.  While I can be booked for a few hours at a time, I am not available for full-time care.

I offer sitting services for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, iguanas, turtles, fish, and other small pets.  Unfortunately, I can NOT sit for pets that require live food, dogs or cats without updated vaccinations, dogs that are not neutered, female dogs in heat, or pets with a history of biting/scratching. Friendly small and medium sized dogs preferred (less than 50 lbs.).

No, I do not have the facilities to provide boarding services. Overnight sitting takes place at the pet's home, where they are most comfortable.

I will use whatever food/water you supply for your pet at your home to avoid any dietary issues. 

Yes! We will have a meet-and-greet by video call, phone, or in-person before I come over for the first visit.  This gives us the opportunity to see if we are the right fit for each other as well as time to discuss the specifics of your booking.

I will request information that is pertinent to the safety of your loved one (contact information, emergency contacts and resources, allergies, medication, preferences, food and activity restrictions, etc.). Additionally, I will need to know the following details regarding the booking: location, number and description of clients, goals/expectations/requests, parking, access information, location of supplies, schedule, home courtesy expectations (such as removing shoes at door or wearing an N-95 mask), and whether or not anyone in the household is ill. 

All new clients will be asked to sign a general liability release in case something unforeseen occurs.  Bookings are made as needed, and no contracts or commitments are required. 

If you cancel at least 24 hours in advance, you will receive a full refund. Same day cancelations will result in either a credit to your account for use at a future time or a half refund as you prefer. Please call or text me if you need to cancel.
