Chantilly, VA Cat Sitting Policies

Paw Pals has policies and procedures in place for certain situations which include:

Safety First!

First and foremost, our professional cat sitters put safety first. We do our absolute best to make sure there is nothing that could go wrong during any of our visits. Each of our cat sitters and pet sitters is certified in PetTech PetSaver First Aid and CPR and must recertify every two years in order to keep up with the best safety practices which could save the life of a pet in an emergency. Each of Paw Pals cat sitters and pet sitters is truly an animal lover, and that is how we can always provide the care and attention your cat(s) crave during the day.

New Client Setup / Meet & Greet

Before someone becomes one of our cat sitting or pet sitting clients, we require an initial “Meet & Greet” at your home to make introductions with you and each of your pets. We’ll take this time to discuss the needs of you and your pets and to determine a pet’s temperament and behavior and analyze whether a cat is an acceptable candidate for our cat sitting or pet sitting services. Once this has occurred, we can talk about a pet’s normal routine as we fill out all of our required paperwork and inform new clients on our policies and procedures.

We also use this as an opportunity for you to show us your pet’s routine, and for us to complete all the paperwork and go over our policies and procedures. However, you are under no obligation to obtain services as a result of this visit, and we reserve the right to refuse service if a pet is not a good candidate for our services.

Cost: $25.00 (This fee will be waived if Paw Pals determines that your pet(s) will not be a good
candidate for our services.)

Note: For existing clients, who add a new pet to their family and wish for their pet sitter to meet them and the pet before services begin, there will be a $15.00 visit fee.

Late Bookings

We understand that not everything happens as planned and will do our best to accommodate last minute requests. These requests are not guaranteed and are subject to sitter availability. Please note that requests made after business hours will be considered as having been received the next business day.

• • Existing clients: Requests made with less than 2 business days’ notice will incur a $10.00/visit surcharge. Same day requests will incur an additional $25/visit last minute booking charge. (If the request is for a series of visits, the surcharges will apply only to the visits within the late booking period, not all the visits in the series.)

• New clients: All new clients must have an initial Meet & Greet completed before any visits or services can be confirmed. Please see New Client Setup/Meet & Greet section above.

Inclement Weather

For days when there is severe inclement weather, a $20.00 fee may apply. This policy is most often associated with a federal government shutdown or if Fairfax County Schools are closed.
