The initial meet & greet visit
I offer a FREE of charge 20-30 minute meet and greet session for client's who would like to book in for dog walking, drop in visits or pet sitting/overnight stays.
Why do I offer a free meet and greet session?
The initial meet and greet session is the key part of starting to build mutual trust between one another. It provides us with an opportunity to meet in your pet's relaxed and familiar environment.
This initial meeting also allows you to observe how your pet responds to me and can help you to determine whether I may be a good fit. The time allocated to the session gives you plenty of opportunity to discuss your pet’s personality traits, their daily routine, and any special requirements they may have.
Most importantly, it gives you the chance to ask questions about my experience and the services I provide—so you feel completely confident and comfortable moving forward.
