  Initial Consultation (Free) Service begins with a “get-acquainted” interview in your home. Together we assess your unique needs and develop an individualized pet care program. After the initial interview our servicing can begin. Wagtime will meet all the demands of your pet and home. Make your reservation and print and fill out forms prior to our initial meet and greet.

• What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

  Inform your pet sitter of anything that may be out of the ordinary (sinks that don't drain properly, toilet that overflows, etc.). Show your pet sitter where the thermostat is and how to operate it. Be sure to leave it set at a comfortable temperature for your pets while you're gone. If anyone will be in your home during your absence, let your pet sitter know. Because of safety concerns, many pet sitters will not enter a house if they see someone there. Also, be aware that many pet sitting businesses will not accept jobs if they are requested to share pet care responsibilities with others, or if someone else will be in the home while they are caring for your pets. Potentially dangerous plants or decorations should be put somewhere that your pets won't be able to get to them. Keep this in mind especially during the holidays when Christmas trees and other decorations are on display. Place cleaning supplies where they will be easily accessible if needed. If you rent, give your landlord your pet sitter's name in case of emergency. Give your pet sitter the landlord's name as well. If your pet sitter's first visit will be after dark, be sure to leave an outside light on. Prior to your departure, give your pet sitter information on how you can be contacted. If for some reason your pet sitter were unable to get into your home, leaving the information on your kitchen counter would be useless. Therefore, it is best to provide your pet sitter with this information before you leave. If you will not be able to be contacted while you're gone, be sure to provide the name and phone number of someone who will be able to make decisions on your behalf.
