What happens if I did not leave enough food for my pet(s)?

A: We will notify you that there is not enough food so that you are aware and perhaps you have more food in another place in your home.

If we do need to make a special trip that is out of our way to purchase food, we will gladly do so. We will, however, charge a fee for extra travelling if need be.

That is why we require a 70% deposit before you leave. This money is for emergency purposes such as running out of food or if there is a need to put down a deposit for veterinary care.

Must I leave food for the sitter?

A: Food is entirely at your own discretion. But it would be nice if you could leave some food for the pet sitter. Please clearly communicate to your stay-over sitter what foodstuffs (if any) is for his/her use. Please also communicate if there won’t be anything so arrangements can be made.

You do not need to provide any food if you have booked once or twice a day visit; sitters might just have a cup of tea or so while spending time with the pets.

Please always provide adequate toilet paper, cleaning materials and other household items.

I have never used an overnight pet sitter before; can you tell me a little bit about this service?

A: We offer an overnight visit from 10 pm to 7 am, dependant on our daily routine and time of the year. Overnight stays give you peace of mind knowing that your home is being looked after as well as your pets getting lots of extra attention.

If your pets are used to sleeping in your bed with you, we are happy to have them sleep in the bed with us too!

We can add a dinnertime visit also and then later return again for the night.

To be fair to sitters; they are not expected to spend 24 hours a day at the house and may need to go to their own homes, work or to campus during the day. We do however try and be there for as long and as much as possible.
