Policies & Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! I’m insured through Business Insurers of the Carolinas, the Pet Sitters International preferred provider. Proof of insurance available upon request.
-
Yes, excluding injections.
-
For dog walks, I always have a spare slip lead, Halt spray, Pet Corrector spray, and treats. For walks in the dark, I carry a flashlight and wear a reflective vest. I always enter homes with door-dashers in mind, and double check locks when leaving.
I’m also Pet CPR/First Aid certified, so I know what signs/symptoms to look out for and how to respond in an emergency.
-
No, all pet care services are performed in your home.
-
I aim to provide evidence based training that considers every part of the dog: their breed/genetics, experiences with socialization so far, home environment, exercise schedule, triggers, and temperament to name a few.
I believe that it’s our responsibility as pet owners to manage resources in a way that earns our pet’s respect and to teach them how we want them to behave, not force them. I aim to establish a reliable line of communication between dog & pawrent through positive reinforcement (giving attention, treats, or other reward) and negative punishment (taking away something of value, like forward motion on a walk or ending a “game”).
Our dogs need to be taught how to behave and what boundaries are. I focus heavily on neutrality & working with our dog’s tendencies and breed instead of against it.
