How do I meet my Pet Caregiver?

We come to you! We know how important it is to meet with your Pet Caregiver and are happy to offer you a consultation ($25).

Please have 2 sets of tagged keys ready. Alternatively, keys can be left with your doorman (if applicable).

How many keys do you require?

We require 2 sets of keys. One for your Pet Caregiver and another to keep on file in case of an emergency. Tag and label each set with your (pet) name. For security purposes we ask that you do not write your address on there. We will keep keys on file for future service. Due to wear and tear, we ask that you provide actual weatherproof key tags (please no makeshift tags). 

Where do I drop off keys?

You can drop them off at our key location or give the keys to your Pet Caregiver during your consultation. Key drop offs to be scheduled in advance.

We require 2 complete sets of tagged keys (no makeshift tags accepted). One for our Pet Caregiver, the other on file in case of a lock-out or last minute request. Keys are kept on file for future care. Please tag and label both sets (for security purposes, do NOT write address on tag). Please try out both sets to make sure they work, in advance.

Complete sets include:

2 building keys (fob/rfid)

2 apartment keys

If you cannot provide 2 sets of keys a lock box with at least 1 full set will be required. Please check with your building for for lockbox approval.

Why?

Having an incomplete set (no entry into the building) means waiting until someone opens the building door, in order to get inside. This cuts into your visit time and further delays other visits that the Pet Caregiver has to go to.

$10 Untagged keys will incur a tagging fee.

$25 plus duplicate fees. Don’t have time to provide 2 sets of keys? We’ll be happy to make a duplicate of your set!

Moving?
We ask for at least 1 week for key a return preparation. You can pick them up at one of our key locations with advance notice, at no charge. If you need them sooner, we can provide a key drop off at your place for $25.

How do I schedule an appointment?
