FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices are based on how many animals you have and how many visits per day you need. In most cases, I do not charge extra for administering medications and water gardens.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taken; business, accounting, and interpersonal communication. I have had animals as part of my family my whole life and have been a pet sitter for over 20 years.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always wanted to work with animals but being a vet was not an option. I would not be able to handle the really sick and dying animals. In 1994 I read a copy of Cat Fancy magazine about the pet sitting profession and thought now this is for me. I can work with animals who look forward to seeing me and get to spend time playing and caring for more than I could ever have on my own. I do care for some sick animals once in a while giving them medication and fluids but because it is not part of my everyday routine so I am happy to care for them.
