Frequently Asked Questions

First, start by a phone call or by clicking the green “New User Registration” button. From there we can discuss your pet(s) individual needs and we would then set up a consultation at your home. This meeting takes approximately 30 minutes to meet you, your pet(s), learn the routine and get the fine details.

Often we hear people don’t travel because of their pets. Don’t let that stop you. We are here to copy your exact routine even if it involves hand feeding your pup or making certain foodie toppers. We have heard and done almost everything.

Full-Service Pet Sitting. One price covers all.

We provide a variety of services to help make life a little less stressful for you.  Please check out our services page for more detail on services provided.

No two pet(s) are alike, therefore, each pet and home will require different levels of care and visit frequency. We can better quote you a rate after speaking with you and learning about your pet’s routine and needs. That said, a typical visit starts around $22.00. We often debunk the idea that pet sitting is more expensive than boarding.  Many of our client’s, especially those with multiple pets, find our services to save them money.

Please visit our pricing page for more information.

We will leave a note letting you know how your pet(s) did in your absence.  We ask when you arrive home, no matter the time, to please call our office 281-391-1015 and inform us you made it back safely.  Often times there are delays that may prevent you from getting home on time, please if you know of any delays call and let us know.  We may make additional visits if we do not hear that you have arrived home.   This is to ensure your pet(s) are always cared for. Those additional visits will be billed to you.
