Ideally, the meeting will occur no less than a week before the first service is scheduled. The pet care provider will visit the client’s home to conduct the meeting.

During the meeting the pets and humans will meet to ensure that everyone is comfortable with each other. The contract will be completed and signed.

During the meeting, a physical key, a copy of the current pet records, and microchip numbers will be provided to the pet care provider.

A tour of the home will be taken to review any security systems, location of trash cans for pet waste, cleaning supplies and pet quarters and toys.

If the service is for In-Client-Home Pet Sitting (see below), Doris will need to bring her dog, Lola to the client’s home during the service. In this scenario, Lola, will accompany Doris to the meeting to ensure that all pets and Lola get along well.
