- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before caring for your pet(s) I require an initial consultation usually lasting 30-45 minutes at no charge. During this time I get a chance to meet you, your pet(s), exchange contact information and review the details of the care I will give your pet(s) in your absence. This meeting is crucial to my giving your pets exactly the type of care you want me to provide in your absense.
