Canine & Company Pet Sitting Services

How does it work?

Approximately one week prior to your required services, contact Canine & Company to schedule your consultation. At this time, your pet sitter will meet with you in your home to become familiar with your house, your pet(s), each pet’s dietary requirements, any medication needs, and any other needed supplies for taking care of your pet(s). Your pet sitter will ask you a series of questions, and any questions you may have can be answered at this time. You will need to provide your pet sitter with a single copy of your house key, as well as payment for all scheduled services. This payment includes a $10 consultation fee, which is later applied to your total pet sitting balance.
