Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we sure are!
Yes, we offer a $25 meet and greet, allowing us to get to know you and your pet(s)! Not only is this helpful in understanding your needs, but it also familiarizes your pet with our staff members, ensuring your furry friend has a happy and stress-free experience with Barks N Purrs!
*There is a $25 charge for any additional Meet & Greet
We require all clients with keys to have a lockbox! We are happy to supply a Barks N Purrs Lockbox for $30, or you are welcome to use your own. This not only ensures that your keys stay securely on your premises but also keeps the key on location for any last-minute emergencies.
We require 1-3 hour arrival windows for all appointments.
We always assign 2-3 walkers/sitters to each household. This is because people can get sick, emergencies can happen, or one of the sitters can be unavailable. You will meet one of these sitters during the meet and greet, but you can always request to meet the other sitters, too!Â
Yes! If you would like to add a feeding or have us administer oral or topical medication before, during, or after a walk, visit, or hike, there will be an additional fee of $5.
We only receive payments via our portal, Time To Pet. You can pay on there with ACH (electronic check, and there will be no fee added.) OR you can pay with a debit/credit card, but there will be a 2.9% fee added if you do.
We have various booking and cancellation policies for overnight pet sitting, pet visits, and walks or hikes. You can find this information in our welcome message after setting up an account on our portal!
