FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am new to the area- part of my fee is dependent on travel and distance to each job. Please, understand my pricing is flexible until I get to know the Greensboro area better and can better estimate travel expenses to and from each location to where I am providing services- thank you!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After a customer has expressed an interest in my services, a personal face to face meeting with them and their pets is a must. It ensures that there is a chemistry between their little (or big) loved ones and myself which they get to see. This is huge when you are entrusting the care of your pets with someone you have never met before. I have a check list of questions which we go over so I am informed about their requirements and ask if there are any additional items they need or concerns they may have. I let them know that we will be in daily contact- wether it's a simple dog walking job or an extended vacation.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
After graduating from Northwestern, I had worked in a corporate environment for over 17 years. I was fortunate enough to be able to become a stay at home mom after having our second child. Then when my children were both in school, I knew I wanted to return to work but wanted a more flexible and active career choice. I have always loved animals and being outdoors so I knew pet sitting and dog walking would be a career path which would be a perfect fit for my future. I began my pet sitting, equestrian care and house sitting service in 2001 and have never doubted this was the perfect career choice for me! I’ve recently relocated to Greensboro and look forward to the experience of discovering North Carolina!
