Policies and Procedures

Pet Care

Daily visits are required- No every other day visits
The professional industry standard is that there is at least one visit within a 24 hour period for all pet sitting clients. All DeTails encourages there to be at least two visits per day when pet sitting. Some pets require more care and some less but lightbulbs on tanks can go out, cats can accidentally chew a wire or a pipe could burst and we want to be sure we are there to take care of any situations that may cause a problem.
No ‘ignore the cat, fish, chickens, etc.’ or similar requests
We charge by time, not by pet. As pet-care professionals, All DeTails cannot and will not, in good conscience, ignore additional pets in the household needing care.
Outdoor Pet(s)

All DeTails is not responsible for any outdoor pets including cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits or others that may have free roam of the outdoors. The Pet Sitter is unable to provide full care and safety of these pets and therefore, All DeTails requires all pets to be kept in safe and reliable housing for the duration of the Pet sit.

No shared visits

All DeTails does not permit sharing of pet care responsibilities with any other parties.

PLEASE NOTE: If anyone else has access to your home while the pet-sitting job is being performed, we, All DeTails, can assume no liability for any damages or losses to your home or pet as per our insurance policy.

The utmost of care will be given in watching both your pet(s) and your home. However, due to the extreme unpredictability of animals, we cannot accept responsibility for any mishaps of an extraordinary or unusual nature (i.e., biting’s, furniture damage, accidental death, etc.) or any complications in administering medications to the animal. Nor can we be liable for injury, disappearance, death or fines of pet(s) with access to the outdoors.

No ‘set in stone’ times for pet sitting
We believe in being flexible for our clients and offer morning, afternoon and evening drop in visits within time ranges, including our overnight services. We will however make allowances for pets that require medications at specific times or have specific medical needs, but we will discuss at our meeting to be sure we can provide that time slot.
