FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $25 per visit and a typical visit is 30 minutes. At this time, due to the care I need to provide my own elderly pets, I am unable to do any overnight stay overs and I can’t board any pets at my house.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically like to meet the customer and their pets at least a day before the job so we can go over the details of the visit. I always feel the customer is more at ease when they can see who it is taking care of their fur babies and they can ask me any questions they may have. I also want to make sure the pets have met me to ensure they are comfortable with me.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Of course, I've grown up around dogs and cats all of my life but I have also worked in the vet industry for 10 years. In that time, I have assisted vets and their technicians with treatment and care for dogs and cats. I've taken care of boarding dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, iguanas, chinchillas, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and fish. I've also worked at a horseback riding school when I was in high school. At that time, I was caring for horses and goats. I can care for just about any animal, but I'm not comfortable around spiders and snakes....no offense to the spiders and snakes!
