1) Pet caretaking & training is my profession. If you do not have your end of things squared away & thus cannot meet me halfway, we cannot work together as it is not respectful to me or other clients. If you demonstrate that you have not read critical information in my profile or messages three times, your booking request will be archived & I will discontinue corresponding with you. 2) During preliminary communications before meeting, all correspondence must be done via Rover in writing, not over the phone or in person. If you fail to respond within 24-hours, your messages and booking request will be archived with the assumption that you have found alternate solutions for your pet's needs. 3) Your pet’s safety is my first & foremost concern. All clients must satisfactorily answer the questionnaire provided at the bottom of the profile or under “Details” before meeting or moving forward. Please, include the numbers & questions when responding to the questionnaire. Copying & pasting is best done via browser rather than the app. 4) All pets to whom care is to be given must be listed and booked accordingly as per Rover policy. 5) Requests without having met clients and their pets first will not be accepted. Thus, it is strongly suggested you initiate your booking request a minimum of 2-weeks in advance of the date your pet needs care so as to give ample time to ask & answer questions, & that you’re available to meet & close the deal within a few days thereafter. 6) Do not ask to leave a key in a hidden location; they go missing which messes things up for everyone involved. If you are unable to get the key to me in the agreed upon manner at the agreed upon time & thus service cannot be rendered, you will still be charged 50% as per Rover’s cancellation policy. 7) All communication is to be done via Rover. I will not communicate with clients via my personal cell phone number nor via email. Clients are welcome to tailor their notifications however they like. 8) Cleanliness is key especially for those requesting house sitting services. 9) To complete any booking request, payment must be submitted up front to Rover. Availability is based on a first-come, first-serve basis. 10) Most clients book several months to over a year in advance. Last minute requests within less than 2-weeks advance notice are not likely to be met. **BONUS** - Select “Drop-In Visits” in lieu of “Walks” to save money!! As a trustworthy person who can be counted on, I've frequently house sat, dog/cat sat, and walked dogs for friends and in the context of a professional service for over 25 years. The companionship of dogs whether while eating, sleeping, walking, or hiking is endearing. Dogs are always happy with the stimulation I provide them through taking them along with me during my outdoor activities and my loving interaction with them at home. I also love taking care of fish, frogs, cats, geese, quail, and chickens. My Rover schedule is exceedingly busy. I operate on a first-come, first serve basis. Clients often book several months in advance to hold their place. I am insured & bonded by Pet Sitters Associates. I love bonding with pets. It is such a humanistic experience to love and be loved by animals. I'm lucky to be typically well liked by pets and I hope your pets like me, too!
