Are you thinking about hiring a professional pet sitter? Choosing the right service is crucial for your beloved pet’s well-being. At Furkids, we believe in meticulous preparation and personalized care. Once you’re registered as a client, we follow a thorough process to cover every aspect of your pet’s needs. From gathering essential information to personal introductions, we ensure you and your pet feel comfortable and confident in our services. Today, we’ll walk you through the steps we take when you decide to book with us, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for everyone involved.
Getting Everything in Place with the Initial Setup
We start getting everything ready before we meet you and your pet in person. This initial setup is crucial for us to provide the best care possible during our time with your pet. To make this happen, we use our specialized pet-sitting software, where you’ll provide detailed information about your pet and your home.
Key Details We Collect:
- Pet Care Information: We’ll ask you to detail your pet’s daily routine, dietary preferences, medical needs, and any behavioral traits we should know about. This helps us maintain their comfort and health just as you would.
- Home Safety Details: To ensure we’re prepared for emergencies, you’ll need to provide the locations of essential utilities in your home. This includes the water shutoff valve, circuit breakers, and any other safety-related features.
- Emergency Contacts: You will enter local emergency contacts’ names and phone numbers – this could be a nearby family member, your vet, or a trusted neighbor. We also gather information about your preferred emergency service providers.
Getting to Know Each Other at the Meet and Greet
The meet-and-greet is a complimentary service that we provide in the comfort of your home. It’s the first real step in our pet-sitting process, designed to build trust and understanding between you, your pet, and our sitter. This personalized visit allows our sitter to meet your pet and see them in their everyday environment.
What Happens During the Meet and Greet:
- Personal Introduction: You’ll introduce the sitter to your pet and let them get acquainted.
- Routine Walkthrough: We’ll go through your pet’s daily routine together to ensure we stick to their normal schedule.
- Special Instructions Review: If your pet has any special care instructions or needs, this is the perfect time to discuss them.
- Q&A Session: You can ask the sitter any questions you have, ensuring you’re completely comfortable with how your pet will be cared for.
Keeping You Connected With a Post-Visit Follow-up
After each visit, we prioritize keeping you well-informed and reassured about your pet’s care and activities. We understand that being away from your pet can be stressful, so we strive to maintain a strong communication link between you and our service. That’s why we send a detailed email journal after every visit.
Details Included in Our Follow-Up Journal:
- Activities Summary: We list all the activities your pet engaged in during our visit, like feeding, playing, or walking.
- Care Tasks: We’ll update you on routine care tasks that were completed, such as changing water and cleaning the litter box.
- Photo Updates: We include photos from the visit to show you the fun and care your pet experienced.
- Overall Well-being: Any observations about your pet’s mood or behavior during our visit are noted, giving you insights into their overall well-being.
Confirming Your Safe Return
Once you return home from your trip or outing, it’s important to close the loop on our pet-sitting services. We ask that you promptly notify us through our specialized pet-sitting software that you are home and ready to resume caring for your pet. This simple step is crucial as it officially marks the end of our service period and ensures that there’s no gap in care for your pet.
Procedure for Post-Return Notification:
- Notification Through Software: Log into our pet-sitting software and indicate your return. This process is quick and easy but essential for officially ending our services.
- Confirmation of Notification: Once you’ve notified us, we’ll confirm receipt of your message. This confirmation helps both parties ensure that your pet continues to receive seamless care.
