*The Return Call Service is for clients who would like for us to resume sitting if they do not confirm their arrival home. This service is intended to ensure your pets are taken care of in cases of extreme emergency. We have programmed our system to allow clients to choose if they want the Return Call Service AND when they want their Return Call Service to kick in! 

In the online system, there is an option when you book called Return Call Service. Clients can choose the date and time block by which we'd have to hear from them before engaging a sitter to visit their pets again. You can select this service every time we sit for you or just when you need it.

 RETURN CALL SERVICE - PROCESS

1. Clients select the date and time block for the  Return Call Service from the online system when they book their sit. This would be the date and time by which we would need to hear from you before engaging a sitter to go to your home.

 2. If we do not hear from you by the end of the time block you selected, we will call you, at the number(s) listed in your Client Profile to see how you'd like us to proceed.

 3. If we do not get in touch with you, we will engage a sitter to get to your home as soon as possible and your normal sitting schedule will resume. Each sit after contact is attempted will be charged a Last Minute Fee of $10 in addition to the cost of the sit.

 4. If we do not hear from you within 48 hours, we will begin to call your Emergency Contacts and make arrangements for your pets to go to your Evacuation Contact.
