If you or your representative want me to take the pets to the vet that is no problem and i only charge for an additional visit to cover this event.

How do I know you are responsible?

Accepted Answer

I always bring along my references and CRB certificate and insurance certificate to reassure new clients.  I am also a member of the 'National Association of Registered Pet Sitters' and am listed on their website for extra piece of mind

Question 6

Why should I choose your company?

Accepted Answer

I have been running the company for over 15 years, I ensure that I spend half an hour per visit and refuse to run a 'feed and leave' service!  This is my main occupation and I do not carry out pet sitting as a side line to full time employement to ensure I have time for our pets.  I have had to take several felnes to the vets, on one occasion I could not get hold of the owner but i refuse to leave any animal in distress so ensured he had vetinary attention.
