Pet care experience

I am the founder of The Creature People LLC, a local veteran owned and operated small business. We have over 40 years of combined experience caring for a wide variety of animals, to include dogs, cats, reptiles, rabbits, and other smalls animals. We are certified and experienced in difficult dog handling. We provide boarding, daycare and grooming in our home, and offer pet sitting, dog walking and drop in care at clients homes. Pet taxi service can be added to any booking, for a small added fee. I also provide complimentary garden care, bird feeder maintenance and house plant care with all house sitting services. We have a small selection of various sized crates available for crate trained pets up to 125lbs. We ensure that all crates are sanitized after each stay. We have a large fenced in yard, and 24/7 video monitoring in all indoor and outdoor areas occupied by pet guests. Prior to an overnight stay all new clients must complete a daycare trial and a consultation call. This is to assess temperament of pet guests and learn your pet’s personality in a one on one environment. All dogs must provide proof of up to date vaccines and current flea and tick prevention. We have experience with many different breeds, as well as experience with fosters, rescues and special needs pets. Let’s set up a booking call and get the personalized pet care you need!

Information Cecilia R. would like to know about your pet

Profiles for all pets receiving care must be completed prior to booking. Please ensure to read my profile in its entirety before sending your booking request. For insurance purposes, I require an emergency contact phone and email address at the confirmation of your booking. For all new boarding requests I require a mandatory 5 hour daycare trial prior to any overnight stay. Additional meets are $20. This is to ensure my time spent meeting prospective clients is compensated should you choose a different sitter. All pets are required to have proof of up to date vaccines, and proof current of flea and tick preventative. If your pet arrives with fleas there is a non negotiable $150 cleaning fee. I have a firm cancellation policy, if a booking is canceled due to client there is no refund. If booking is canceled due to sitter you will be charged if this falls within 7 days of the booking. If you choose to pick up early there will be no refunds or adjustments, however funds may be applied to future bookings on a case by case basis. ??????Please note that by booking a stay with me you agree to these policies.?????? Please let me know ahead of time if your pet requires any medication, and if they have any allergies or behavioral issues. We are experienced in med admins, and are certified in difficult dog handling.

A typical day

We will talk walks, play fetch in the yard, depending on your dogs personality they will also get to engage in pack play. We implement seasonal activities, using a Splash Pad or ice bowls for summer. Other activities we may do are sniff play with snuffle mats, paw print paintings, etc.

Availability

I own and operate The Creature People LLC as a full time pet care professional with my fiancé who is also a pet care professional. We are members of Pet Sitters International, and we are bonded and insured by Business Insurers of the Carolinas. This means your furry family members will have 24/7 care and attention, from industry professionals, not just a side hustle pet sitter. I groom 2-3 times a week out of my home, if you would like to add grooming onto your service please let me know. Grooming is based on the breed and condition of your dog. I will be happy to give you an estimate over a booking call but like all estimates this may be subject to change.
