SERVICE BOOKINGS:

Service bookings should be made at least 48 hours in advance of your first desired date. We can often accommodate last minute bookings, but there will be an additional $5 per visit.

For liability reasons, we do not participate in shared care engagements. Any service schedule where a 3rd party assumes partial responsibility for the care of your pets would be considered “shared care”. An example of this would be a situation where a neighbor handles the mid-day care of your pets while we provide the morning and nighttime care. Exceptions will be made on a case by case basis if there are family members, living in the household, that may be home.

We require at least 3 visits per day for households with dogs. If you have a doggy door, the minimum is 2 visits per day. Households with cats only, small mammals and/or birds are eligible for 1 visit per day.

ARRIVAL TIMES:

We do not set exact times for our visits unless your pet requires a time-critical medication (such as insulin). All visits will be scheduled and performed with a 2-hour time period.

KEYS:

Keys to your home must be kept on file with us or stored in a lockbox. If you do not have a lockbox, Ask your Coco & Boo care provider for one of theirs. If you would like your key returned to you after the service is complete, there will be a $20 additional fee. If you are moving or being deployed out the area, we will return your key to you, free of charge.

SUPPLIES:

Please leave ample cleaning supplies, extra paper towels and trash bags when going away. We do carry a small cleaning and first aid kit in our cars, but our supplies are limited and we prefer to use the cleaners and products that you and your pet care are comfortable with.

Please text or call us at (760) 519-1419 to check in when you are returning home. If we can’t get in touch with you, we will continue to care for your pets until we have made contact with you. There will be an additional charge of $10 for any additional, unscheduled visits in addition to the regular service fee. This also applies if we arrive at your home and find that you have returned.

We prohibit the use of cameras or sound recording devices in bathrooms, or primary areas of the home utilized by our staff members during Overnight or 24 Hour Round the Clock Care sits. If a Pet Sitter find there are undisclosed cameras in these locations, or during these specific services, we will terminate service immediately.
