The first consultation visit is free. We come to your home which gives us the opportunity to meet with your pet in their environment and become familiar with them at your house. During this time you will receive detailed information regarding the care of your pet(s). Elyse will then custom build a schedule that best fits the needs of your busy schedule. This is a perfect time to look over the paperwork and contract in case you have any questions. It is also a good time to pick up keys and make sure they work properly to avoid any issues.
I book clients on a first come first serve basis. If I cannot fit you in, I will simply let you know that I am already booked. I will never charge you for last minute visits, so please don't hesitate to ask if you are stuck at that meeting or need to stay at work late - or better yet, need to stay a few more days on vacation! To ensure availability for your dates, please book in advance. This is particularly important for busy holidays!
