1. What are Pet Sitting services like?
A. The Pet Sitting Services consists of walking (dogs), feeding, playing, replenishing and cleaning water bowls and also bringing in the mail and newspaper, and water house plants according to your requests. Also to give your home a lived-in look, we can alter lights and blinds. Of course lots of play time, and love is included. We can keep in touch with you while you travelling either by sending you an e-mail or text message. We know you will miss you pet and knowing they are happy will make you happy as well.
Each Pet Sitting visit in approximately 30 minutes in length. Return to Top

3. How are my keys handled? When should I give the pet sitter my keys?
A. We recommend giving your key to the sitter during the "Meet and Greet". If you are unable to do so at that time, we charge a $15 pick-up fee. We can keep the key on file if you travel often, or we can leave it in your home at the end of the sit, whichever you prefer. If you decide to have the sitter leave the key in your home, please arrange for a neighbor or someone nearby to have a spare key in the event that you are delayed.Return to Top
4. Does the sitter I meet personally care for my pets?
A. Absolutely! You will always meet the Pet Sitters who will care for your pets. Your pet sitter will offer an introduction to understand your pet sitting needs and to learn all that takes to keep your pet and home happy and safe. Also, we do not bring anyone inside your home other than the contracted pet sitter without your prior consent.Return to Top
5. What is the introduction (aka Meet and Greet) all about?
A. At the introduction we get to know you, your pets and your home. We will ask many questions and make meticulous notes on all the particulars of caring for your pets and your home. We present you with a folder which includes some testimonials clients have left for us, a service contract, a copy of our Pet First Aid certificate and other important information about our services.Return to Top
6. What is the best way to communicate with My Local Pet Sitter?
A. We hold regular office hours from 8am-6pm Monday-Friday, and Saturday from 9am-3pm. During these times we will do our best to pick-up your call, but we may at times be attending to other clients so we do ask you to leave a voicemessage and we will get back to you within a couple of hours or if our office is closed, we will return the call when we open again.
We are also really good with e-mail. So feel free to e-mail us at info@mylocalpetsitter.com anytime.Return to Top
A. Following our introduction meeting we will email you an invoice with the total for your dog sitting services.

8. How many pet sitting visits should I schedule for my pets?
A.For most dogs, we recommend a minimum of three visits per day. If you have cats, one visit a day for a healthy cat is recommended. If your pet is not yet house trained, a puppy (or kitty) or elderly then we suggest more visits per day.Return to Top
9. Will I get the same Pet Sitter each time I travel?
A. We will make every effort to assign the same pet sitter, however a pet sitter could be already fully booked or have a scheduled vacation. In such case, we will introduce you to another pet sitter who you will be equally satisfied to provide the best pet sitting service you expect from us.Return to Top
