 • Download "Time To Pet" App from App Store/Play Store

Question 2

Are you licensed, bonded & insured?

Accepted Answer

As a professional pet sitting and dog walking company, we are fully licensed, bonded and insured for your protection. Before hiring any pet sitter or dog walker, you should always ask for proof of licensing and insurance.

Question 3

How do I submit a scheduling request and pay my invoice?

Accepted Answer

You can request and pay for services, instant message with our team, and update your records all on the Time to Pet mobile app!

Please specify the desired time in the notes of your request and please remember we operate on a two-hour window one hour on either side of your desired time.

Question 4

What’s our most popular service?

Accepted Answer

Good question! We offer drop-in visits, overnight stays, dog walking, and pet transportation but most of our clients request 30-minute drop-in visits. A half-hour visit is enough time for us to love and feed or walk your pets without being rushed. We also offer 45 or 60 minute visits for shy pets or pets that need a little extra love!

Question 5

How far in advance should I schedule?

Accepted Answer

We suggest submitting requests for pet sitting while you are out of town around a month ahead, and requests for dog walks a week ahead.

We always encourage planning as far in advance as possible as our schedules do fill up each day and space is limited.

Question 6

What types of pets do you care for?

Accepted Answer

We care for just about any type of animal. We have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, snakes, turtles, reptiles, ferrets, pigs, gerbils, mice, sugar gliders, prairie dogs and others. Have a unique animal? Just ask us!

Question 7

What are your payment terms?

Accepted Answer

Payment in full is due prior to services beginning. Invoices are generated at the time of scheduling and aren't due until the day before services begin.

Depending on the service you select, we may require a non-refundable deposit, especially for holiday and overnight bookings. We’ll let you know if this is necessary.

All payments are made securely within the booking app, Time To Pet, once you become a client.

Question 8

Do I get to meet my pet sitter or dog walker?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I will be coming in person for our Meet & Greet and it will always be me coming back so that your pet will already be familiar with me and my scent. That is one of the best benefits of not having a new person coming by with every visit. I have owned and operated the company for 3 years now without skipping a beat.

Question 9

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

When we book your services, we reserve exclusive time for you and your pets and have likely turned away other clients during this time.

Our policy applies to the entire reservation invoice amount.

• Full payment due 24 hours BEFORE service, $5 late fee per day
 • 50% deposit is required at the time of request if the sum exceeds $500
 • 50% cancellation fee if canceling within 24 hours of a dog walk or single drop-in visit
 • 50% cancellation fee if canceling within 48 hours of an out-of-town request (overnight, live-in, series of drop-ins)

If a non-refundable deposit has been requested (primarily for holiday and overnight reservations), a cancellation will result in the forfeiture of the deposit.

Question 11

I have a special needs pet, can you help?

Accepted Answer

Contact us and if we can't help we will help find someone that will. I have experience with many situations and will let you know if it is out of my expertise. Administering medicine and accommodating rehabilitation would be no trouble at all.
