Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during a "Meet and Greet”?
The Meet and Greet allows us to get to know you and your pet(s) in your home environment, and helps determine if we are a good fit. We will go over routines, and collect necessary information for the care of your pet(s), including a service agreement, pet and home care instructions, emergency contact details, etc.
Can you provide a background check?
Yes, we will provide you with a current background check, if requested.
Are you bonded and insured?
Yes, Zoomies Pet Care, LLC is bonded and fully insured.
What is the process for keys?
Upon a successful Meet and Greet, we will ask for a key(s) for entry to your home. Keys are kept with the sitter during the length of services provided, and are stored in a locked box when not in use. If you are a regular client and do not need keys returned after each visit, we will keep your key safe in a locked box. For safety and liability reasons, we cannot accept keys being in a hidden spot outside of the home. Key pick up and drop offs are $5.
What are your hours?
Dog walking and check-in hours have recently changed. We are accepting requests for early morning and evening visits during the week, and morning, midday, evening visits on the weekend.
What’s included in a check-in?
All check-ins include personalized care and attention, from walks, feeding, tummy rubs and play-time. Since the care will take place in your home, your pet(s) can stay on their regular schedules and routines while you are away.
We will also bring in your mail, water plants, scoop the poop and clean litter boxes, and adjust curtains and lighting during check-ins.
Do you offer off-leash dog walking?
For the safety of your dog(s), we do not offer off-leash dog walking.
What happens if there is an emergency with my pet?
In the event of an emergency, we will contact you immediately. If you cannot be reached, we will call your emergency contact(s). If there is a life-threatening situation with your pet, we will seek immediate treatment.
What forms of payment do you accept and when is payment due?

Our appointments are dedicated to one client/household at a time. We walk one dog at a time, unless you have multiple dogs in your household. If you have multiple dogs that need walking, for safety, we will only walk a maximum of two dogs at a time (or three small dogs).
