FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Regarding my pricing my starting rate is $20 per 30 minute of care and $5 per travel. Each 30 minute visit is $25; up to 2 dogs depending on the type of care needed. If an hour is needed it's $45 including the travel and visit time. For Boarding the base fee starts at $60 for non-holiday care and up to $85 for holiday care with a discount for 2nd pal if applicable.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with new clients I have several steps that I take. I like to first speak to them over the phone to make sure we are a good match. Once that is established and our schedules match I like to schedule a meet and greet to get to know my potentially new pal/s and their parents. Once at the visit, we discuss in detail the pals potty/sleeping/eating schedule and confirm the dates that are needed for care.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I always had a passion for animals growing up. I had cared for animals of friends, co-workers and eventually word of mouth spread. I took a break for a few years while living in the Bay Area from pet sitting and working at a few big name companies. When we moved to Roseville, I decided that I wanted to do Pet Care. As May 2016, Playful Pal Pet Sitting started to evolve and now licensed and insured with many amazing opportunities to help families who needed to leave there fur-babies behind for work or travel. So far I loved every minute of it working with a variety of furry pals.
