Services

Drop In Care
I provide drop in care for cats and other small companion animals including fish, reptiles and rodents. I relate to your pets on their terms!

If they are unsure of new folks, I go slow and don't try to interact beyond their comfort zone; I keep to your pet's routine as much as possible. This includes feeding them where they like to be fed, giving treats as needed, medicating on time and instigating playtime.

If your furkids are a little leery of me providing care for them, I give them time (and sweet talk!) to let them get to know me better. I respect each pet's comfort level and interact on their terms. Pet sitting should alleviate the stress for your pets! I give belly rubs, ear scratchin's and a treat at bedtime; just like you do!

All NEW petsits are conducted with one (1) "Meet N Greet" session prior to your pet's visits, a written contract & key pickup. *I am pleased to keep a copy of your key if you travel frequently or on a moment's notice at no charge*
All Key pick up /returns: $15 each trip

The Nitty Gritty Details

Client Portal

All clients are required to fill out information in their Client Portal in Time to Pet, prior to your pet's first visit and the Meet n Greet.
The portal has emergency contact information, feeding and medication directions, a Medical Treatment authorization for emergency care, and a Key/Entry policy. By electronically signing the authorization to use the Client and Pet Portals; you are agreeing to our policies of service. *There is an updated Veterinary & Emergency Veterinary Hospital Release form*

FREQUENTLY DISCUSSED TOPICS:
Short Notice / Same Day Visits
Last minute bookings (less than 14 days) may not fit into scheduling. If I am able to accommodate a less than 14 day notice booking, your visit rate may be at a slightly higher ("short notice") rate. Visits before 9:00 am & after 6:00 pm are charged an additional fee.

Holidays – The holidays are obviously the busiest times of the year. Booking in advance is required. Existing clients who give 30+ days notice will get priority. Deposits are taken within 30 days of holidays to guarantee booking. The rate for all major holidays & Peak Periods (Spring Break, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day) will be $5 more per visit on the two days prior to, the holiday itself, and two days post; per family. Holiday deposits & trip fees are due at 30 days prior to holidays via credit card or personal check. Last minute holiday add-ons will need to pay via credit card.

Cancellations – Last minute cancellations can play havoc with the schedule. If you decide to cancel or change your trip, please let me know as soon as possible. Cancellations with less than 14 days notice during the holidays can result in ½ your trip fees forfeited. Any other time of the year (non-holiday) 72 hours notice is needed. (1/2 fees forfeited)
There are NO refunds for pet care services. In the event of an early return from a trip, no refunds are given as I have reserved that time for your pet care.
Cancelled Meet n Greets will forfeit their deposit. (paid via credit card)

Adding Days – If you need to extend your vacation and I am needed for last minute extra visits, if I'm able to fit them into the schedule; there may be an additional charge per visit in addition to the regular visit rate.

Time of Day - Visits are completed in order of geographic location and visit frequency. Twice daily medicated pets are given priority and all other pet visits are completed in between. Twice dailies are done between 7-8 am and 5-6 pm. Once dailies are done between 10 am and 4 pm. Visits done before 8 am and after 6:00 pm are at a higher rate and are not always available.

Veterinary Care & Medications
All clients should provide the most up to date information regarding pet(s) vaccination status and health status (Rabies vaccine required for DOGS) and the name and telephone number of their current Veterinary Clinic. If your pet is not up to date on vaccines; I may request a copy of their Vaccination Waiver from the last vet to examine your pet within the past year. *There is a new updated Veterinary Release & ER Vet Form that will be given to you at the Meet n Greet. This form will be filled out and signed and dated by legal owner(s) of all pets.

For the safety of both myself and your pets, I request that all medications be left in the original prescription bottle with pet's name and dosing information on it. All vet transports are charged the hourly rate & mileage. I ask that you leave a signed, blank check (for emergency veterinary care only) in addition to the Medical Treatment Authorization form that is in the Contract for Services OR give your veterinary clinic your credit card to keep on file.

Currently providing care in: Friday Harbor city limits

NO JOB-SHARING:
WYNTPC does not "job share" with members of your family, friends, or other pet sitting businesses or their representatives during the time period we visit. (ie: 12/1/19--12/25/19..no one else is to enter your home for any reason) Due to insurance and liability, WYNTPC cannot be held responsible for your home and personal belongings, including pets, if anyone else enters your home while you are away. (this means someone having access and coming & going while we are providing care) It increases the likelihood that mistakes can happen, illness, injury, pet escape and/or death can occur. It also increases the likelihood of threat, theft, fire, flood and other accidental nightmares could happen to your home / property.

PARKING: Clients that live in condominiums and apartment complexes with designated parking spots for visitors must indicate where legal parking is located in your residence parking lot. Provision of a Visitor Parking Permit or parking passes to the closest garage will also be accepted.

SERVICE HOURS: All visits are between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 pm. Any pre-arranged visits outside of these hours are at additional rates.

COPIES OF KEYS: All keys provided to me should be tested prior to your departure. Please provide 2 methods of entry. IE: 2 keys or 1 key and one garage code. Key pick up and return fees apply if you do not provide a spare that I can keep on file or a "lock box" on your home. Pick up / drop off of keys will cost $15 per trip: this covers the 1st return of the key; unless your family decides that your key be kept on file (in a lockbox in my home), then this "Key Return Fee" becomes a credit to your account. You are welcome to keep a lockbox at your residence with our access as needed.

Prices / policies subject to change. Affected clients will be notified at minimum of 30 days in advance.
