Booking

  • A signed care agreement is required before any booking is accepted.
  • New clients: a complimentary meet & greet is required first, so we can make sure we’re a good fit.
  • New clients: please book at least 5 days ahead. For shorter-notice bookings, be ready for a meet & greet the next day.
  • Scheduling a meet & greet does not guarantee a booking. We’ll talk it through together first.
  • Existing clients: please book at least 48 hours ahead.

Deposit & payment

  • A 50% deposit holds your dates on the calendar.
  • The remaining balance is due at check-in.
  • Venmo, Zelle, cash, or check are all welcome.
  • Tips are always appreciated, but never expected or required.
Leave a tip on Venmo (opens in a new tab)

Keys & home access

  • Please provide a spare house key, even if you have a keypad or garage-door code.
  • Key pick-up and drop-off are arranged at your meet & greet.

Emergencies

  • You’ll share your veterinarian’s details and keep a card on file with your vet in case of an emergency.
  • You’ll also share an emergency contact, in case you can’t be reached.
  • During a stay you’ll get an emergency number for urgent needs. Please use your discretion.

Communication hours

  • 8 AM – 8 PM: expect a reply within 30–60 minutes, unless we agree otherwise during your stay.
  • Outside those hours, replies may be delayed until 8 AM.

Ready when you are.

Start with a free meet & greet. Kimberly will walk you through the care agreement in person.
