My Pet Buddy Frequently asked Questions.
What will happen at the initial consultation?
I will come to your home and meet you and your pets, I will go through all the services you require and take notes on your pets meal times and exercise routines. I will ask for important telephone contact numbers such as vets number and close friend or relative contact number.
Will you be contacted in an emergency?
Yes I will contact you in the event of emergency or accident. In the event of needing veterinary help I would take the pet to your own vet which will be arranged with you before your departure.
Will the house sitter clean the house?
I will leave your home as I found it I will do light household chores and keep the place clean in your absence. I will water any house plants, hanging baskets borders and green house plants for you.
Will your pets be exercised properly?
Unfortunately I am unable to provide daily average length walks, short walks with a single small or elderly dog may be possible.
How long will the house and pet sitter be in your home?
I will arrive shortly after or before you leave for your holiday this will be arranged on the initial consultation and leave on a mutual time to suit you the client. I will never leave your pet for more than 3 hours at a time.
