When you hire Kitty Meow Meow, your pets will be provided with loving, dedicated care in the safety and comfort of their own home. This will enable your pets to continue their normal routines without any stressful changes to their environment. They won't be at risk for exposure to illnesses from other animals. And it has been shown that pets feel happier, less stressed, and more secure in their familiar surroundings. Plus we're just a big ol' bunch of animal lovers and your kiddos make us smile :)

Contrary to popular belief, domesticated cats are highly social creatures who benefit from regular and loving interaction from the people in their lives. Even cats who aren't immediately social need the security and comfort of a daily visit. Extra time spent with shy or nevous kitties often results in eventual trust and bonding. Medical and situational emergencies happen with cats more often than is thought, especially with elderly or sick pets. For the safety and well-being of our feline friends, we require a minimum of one 30 minute visit per day. We encourage more than once/day if possible.

We require a minimum of two 30 minute visits/day for dogs for the proper care.comfort, and social stimulaton dogs need in order to have as little stress as possible during your absence.

Holiday days with an additional fee are: Martin Luther King Jr Day, Presidents Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labour Day, Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day, Halloween, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving, Christmas eve, Christmas day, Boxing day, New Years eve, New Years day.

Weekends/weeks this will apply to: President's Day weekend Spring break week Easter weekend Memorial Day weekend 4th of July and weekend Labour Day weekend Columbus Day/Indigineous peoples day weekend Veterans Day weekend Thanksgiving Week Christmas week New Years week An email detailing dates where these fees apply, and a price layout of the additional charges, will be sent prior to each holiday time.

Although we cannot guarantee exact times for our visits, we do work within a one hour time frame for time-sensitive sits. For less time-sensitive sits, we work within a two to three hour time frame for morning, midday, and evening sits. For example: Morning visits are within a 7 to 10 am time frame Midday visits are within a 11 am to 1 pm time frame Evening visits are within a 5 to 7 pm time frame We regret that at this time, we cannot start sits earlier than 7 am or later than 7 pm. Please note that inclement weather, traffic situations, emergencies, etc may cause a delay in our arrival time. We will contact you if our delay will be significant.

If possible, we appreciate a week's notice during "off season" times, or two weeks to a month's notice for summer and holiday time bookings. This is to ensure we will be able to accomodate your sits. We understand that sometimes unexpected, emergency, or spur-of-the-moment trips do occur, and we are happy to accomodate last minute requests when we are able. Because we work as a team, one of us is almost always able to step in and help at a moment's notice. Please note: For sits requested in 48 hours or less, there will be a $10 to $15 surcharge added to the total invoice. Short notice requests may be of shorter duration because they must be worked in our already booked schedule, and likewise sits that are time-specific may be earlier or later depending on our schedules. Thank you for your understanding!

We are happy to do a supplies run if you forgot a pet supply or a supply ran out during your absence. Each supply run is $25 in addition to the cost of the supplies. We will add this to the final invoice.

We are glad to help do light plant watering* (a few indoor/outdoor plants), collect your mail and paper, take out garbage and recycling, alternate or turn on/off lights, raise and lower blinds/drapes, etc. Normally these tasks can be worked within our allotted time for your sit. *Please note that we no longer do extensive watering. Please be aware that extra fees (ie hauling extra heavy trash bins to the street, excessive clean up of pet areas. etc, difficult medications, etc ) will be charged for the extra time/effort involved in these more extensive duties. Thank you for understanding.

We are insured through Pet Sitters Associates, LLC, and carry a special "protection of the property of others" addition to the policy, which is akin to being bonded.

We do, and are happy to provide it upon request.

The initial meet and greet is complimentary. If you'd like an additional consult at any time, there will be a $25 charge. Thank you for understanding that we must work in additional consults into the pet sit schedule, and our time must be compensated.

We encourage clients to file at least one, preferably two, copies of their house keys with us so future pet sits can be accomodated quickly without the added task of figuring out key pick ups/drop offs. There is no fee to file keys with us. The initial key pick up at the consult has no charge. If you choose not to file your key with us, we provide one complimentary key return. Additional key pick ups are $25, and subsequent drop offs are likewise $25. Thank you for understanding that we must schedule in a key pick up or drop off, and the average time involved is 30 minutes for each key exchange. If you do not feel comfortable filing a key with us: many clients give us garage codes or door codes, or they hide a key on the property and have us re-hide the key after our assignment is completed. We also have clients who prefer to drop keys off in the Kitty Meow Meow mail box, and pick keys back up from the same mailbox. Let us know what key arrangment works best for you!

We send updates with photos each visit, unless otherwise requested. Please let us know which method of update is preferred: text or email. We also do phone updates if these other means of communication cannot be accessed on your trip.

Our primary area of service is the greater Corvallis area, including Philomath, Lewisburg and Adair Village. We are currently not taking any new Albany clients. A $5 mileage/gas fee will apply to sits in Philomath, Lewisburg and Adair Village. For our Albany clients, it is $10. Note: At this time, we unfortunately do not serve Lebanon, Monmouth, Salem, or the coast.

We offer undergraduate student discounts and long-term dog walking contract discounts. Please contact us for details.

We offer kitty nail trims for cats who are non-aggressive and don't mind being restrained. $25 each cat, or $20 each cat for multiple cat households. We charge $15 each nail trim if the trim is booked during a pet sitting assignment. We network with another area sitter for dog nail trims and for pets who have difficult with nail trims. Please contact us for details.

If a friend or family member will be visiting or sharing part of the pet sit assgnment, we ask that they provide us with a log of their visits so we know their pet care duties have been completed. If a friend or family member takes over pet care that we were originally assigned to do, the original charges for those visits will still apply if less than 24 hours notice is given.

We understand that sometimes your return day/time is earlier than planned, and we're usually flexible with our cancellation policy. Most of the time there is no cancellation fee. However, if we aren't informed of your early return and have already driven to your home, we will charge the normal pet sit rate for that visit.

For the safety and well-being of all the pets in our care, we won't be able to pet sit for animals with contagious illnesses/diseases. Thank you for your understanding.

We require all pets in our care to be flea-treated, even indoor-only pets. Fleas can still be transmitted to animals who live only indoors. We work with dozens of animals a day, some of whom may have fleas, some of whom may be severely allergic to fleas. It just takes one flea to create a problem. For the safety and protection of your pets and the other pets in our care, please be sure to flea treat your animals before you leave home.

We network with other professionals who do overnight sitting. Please contact us for details.

I have one assistant, Sean Miles, and I also network with two other professional sitters in our area. During busy times, I rely on backup help to ensure all pets in our charge are getting the utmost care and attention that they need. Unfortunately, I am not able to guarantee that I will be the only person on an assignment, but I do my best to be if you request it. Please note that I still may need to utilise backup help. It is not always possible to arrange meetings with backup helpers, but we do our best to accomdate that if requested and there is enough time before you leave town.

We recommend letting your neighbours know we will be visiting so they will not be concerned if they see an unfamiliar car/person at your residence.

If your pet is elderly, has a history of illness, or develops an illness or condition before you leave town, we strongly recommend having your pet examined by your veterinarian so they can receive any necessary care/medications needed, and so we can be prepared to provide any special care/medications.

We ask for the contact information for at least one emergency backup person you would trust to visit your pets in the event of a severe weather or other emergency that would prevent us from being able to visit your house. We make every efffort possible to visit pets regardless of inclement weather, but in extreme cases (ie ice/snow storms, floods, impassable roads, etc) we may have to rely on your emergency backup person to ensure your pets receive the care they need.

Since we are often out in the field, text and email will be the easiest way to reach us and provide the fastest response time, but we do also return phone calls :)

To reduce stress and unwanted gastrointestinal upsets, we strongly encourage pet owners to keep their pet's feeidng routines as close to the usual times and methods as possible. Cats tend to develop vomiting and/or diarrhea if their twice/day feeding is combine to once/day. Please consider the comfort and wel-being of your kitties when booking pet care for them.

We usually charge by time. Multiple pet households usually require extra duties, and therefore extra time, so we will charge according to how long each assignment takes.

We do livestock pet sitting on a case-by-case basis. We have pet sat for chickens, ducks, goats, pigs, and other farm animals. At this time, we are not taking on horse sitting assignments.

We understand that sometimes pets with access to the outside do not make an appearance during a visit. As with other pet sits, we have dedicated the time for your sit and are still performing duties such as feeding, water, and clean up. Normal rates will be charged.

We are happy to discuss payment arrangements and will make every attempt to work within your budget. Don't hesitate to ask!

We accept check, cash or Zelle payments. Checks and cash are preferred. Payment is due within 7 days of services rendered.

No deposit is required before a pet sit assignment.
