Why should a pet owner use a “Pet Sitter”?

Keeping pets in their own home helps to decrease the anxiety they go through when you are away. Pet Sitters are a great alternative to Kennels and Boarding Facilities, as we can give one-on-one attention and care, reduce the risk of illness/ injury and preserve daily routines for your pet. Additionally, it is great for owners of multiple pet home and you get the added bonus of someone watching over your home while you are away.

Are you the primary sitter?​

​Yes, but I do have a team of highly qualified and trusted assistants, as well. They are bonded and insured under me and will provide the best care for your pet. I will assign myself and one assistance to your family, in case I am not available. My assistant will come with me on our “Meet and Greet” or at a later time.

What services do you offer?

We offer a wide range of customizable services from Dog Walks to Overnight Stays to meet the needs of your pet. Our motto is “Caring for ALL Creatures GREAT and small!”.

Is there a minimum visit(s) required?

The Savvy Sitter recommends that canines be seen not less than three times per day, and felines not less than once per day. This frequency is essential for the mental and physical health of the animal. The Savvy Sitter may choose to refuse service to any Client who does not meet these minimum requirements, either through the services of the Savvy Sitter, or through other third parties, such as family members, or neighbors.

What is a “Meet and Greet”?

A “Meet and Greet” is a chance for the Sitter and Pet to interact with you present. This also helps the pet to recognize us as a friend and not a danger to themselves or their home. It is also a great opportunity for you to ask questions about our company, experience and services.

Can a client schedule services anytime after the meet and greet?

Yes, we will not schedule services until a “Meet and Greet” is performed.

How do you accept payment?

Payment must be available on first day or before services take place hand, particularly for Overnight Stays.

Cash or Check payable to “The Savvy Sitter”.

Do we “tip” the Sitter?

This is a question we get asked a lot. If you feel that the Sitter has gone above and beyond your service expectations, tipping is always nice in appreciation, but not expected.

What is the The Savvy Sitter cancellation policy?

We understand what it’s like to have a busy and ever-changing schedule. Emergency situations and early returns do happen. Each situation will be reviewed and considered for credits towards future services but no refunds are given.
