How do I set up service?
Please call the office at (732) 933-0270 or email us at [email protected]. We will schedule a consultation to meet you and your pet! If you are a new client, please allow at least one week to set up a consultation before your scheduled trip. If you are an existing client, you may call or email the office with new reservations or changes to existing reservations.
What about keys?
During your initial consultation, we ask that you supply two copies of your key to your professional pet sitter. One key will be kept in a lock box at your home for easy and secure access to your pets and the other will be stored in the office safe for emergency purposes. Your own personal lock box will be provided to you by your sitter during the consultation. There is a $20 charge for the lock box and it is yours to keep. The lock box creates great peace of mind that in the event of an emergency, a sitter can access your pet with no problem.
