FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fees are PER pet and PER visit/overnight. So if you have 2 dogs, and need them walked for 30 min, you will pay $20 for each pet, so $40. If it’s an overnight, $70 each pet, so $140 per night. If it’s a 30 min drop in, $20 per pet each time I need to come over. My rates are rather low right now compared to others, however, they may rise as I get more fully booked or if you ask last minute. At times I will have discounts but I will let you know in advance. Please don’t ask me to lower my prices. I enjoy my time fully with your pets, but this is still a job!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always ask when they’ll need the services so I can check my calendar and make sure I’m not already booked. I also require a meet and greet before we continue, for both the pets best interest as well as my own. I prefer the customers to tell me everything they can about their pet before I have to find out myself. It prevents unnecessary situations from occurring.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I’ve been a pet owner my whole life. Only recently did I decide to start making what I’m naturally good at a part-time gig!
