Reservations
It is best to plan in advance for pet sitting services to secure the date(s) you need, especially for holidays and other busy times of the year.

Although we make every effort to fit you in with a last minute appointment, we can't always guarantee it.  Last minute appointments (those made the same day) would require an additional $5 service charge pet walk or visit that day.  This is because of the last minute shuffling of schedules, phone calls and texts that occurs when we have to add someone on once the schedule is set for the day.  This doesn't apply if you already have visits scheduled (for example you're out of town and you'll be returning later than expected and need an extra visit or two).  

For new clients, we require an in-home (free) consultation to meet you and your pets before our first visit.  This allows us to meet you & your pets (& you to meet us) and gives us a chance to see your routine and ask any questions about your pets care before our first visit.  

Reservation Confirmation
Once you schedule your reservation online you should hear from us within 24 hrs.to confirm your spot.  If, by chance, you don't hear from us; please reach out to us so that we can confirm you're on the schedule and we didn't miss you.

What to Expect While You're Away
We tailor each visit to you & your pets.  We come in and feed, give fresh water, walk the dog(s) or let them play in the yard, whatever you need done.  Administering medication (pills & other oral or topical meds) is included.   More complicated meds (such as injections or subcutaneous fluids) can also be given but would require an additional fee.  While there we also do other tasks around the home such as bringing in mail, watering plants, turning lights on & off & rotating blinds.  Again, each visit is tailored to you & your pets needs.  If you need anything specific done, let us know, we'll do our best to make it happen.  During each visit you'll get a report with what was done, how everyone is doing, & we'll even send pictures for most visits.

Extended Absence(s)
In the event you have to be away longer than planned it is mandatory that we hear from you.  Obviously, extending a reservation is no problem, but we need you to contact us to let us know.  The well being of your pet(s) depends on our communication!

Cancellations
We understand that things happen that cause plans to change. Once we have scheduled and confirmed your appointment, a fee may apply for cancellations to compensate pet sitters for the time they set aside for your appointments and for appointments we may have declined because we already had you on the books.
•  Cancellations made the SAME DAY would require payment of 50% of whatever would have been billed that day.
•   Cancellations made within 48 hrs of the following holidays would require full payment of anything scheduled up to the holiday and including the holiday itself, including any surcharges:  (New Years Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, & New Years Eve)

Early Return
If you return early from a trip we would only charge you for the visits remaining in the current day.  

If during a holiday and you cancel within 48 hrs of the holiday, all charges up to the full day of the holiday would apply.

Keys
We request 2 copies of your house key during the initial consultation visit. A $5 charge will be applied if we have to make a copy.  Should you choose to have your key returned, a $12 key pick up/drop off charge would apply. 

Security Systems Protocol
 If you have a security system, and you plan on arming while away, we would need your 4-digit security code (or, even better, a code set up specifically for All Critters).  We also ask that you supply any other information we might need (password? &/or the name & telephone number to the security company) in the unusual event that the alarm might actually go off while we're there.  It's very rare that it happens, but not unheard of.

Inclement Weather
Luckily, it's rare that we have inclement weather in the Triangle that's severe enough that it makes travel too difficult or impossible.  But, in the winter months, the possibility is there.  First off, know that in the event of inclement weather, we'll make every reasonable attempt to make it to your home.  If, by chance, it's just too dangerous we would ask that you leave us the name & telephone number of a trusted neighbor we could request assistance from.  Again, this is very rare in our area, but we want to be prepared just in case.  We will contact you as soon as possible to keep you informed if severe weather occurs or is in the forecast so that we can plan accordingly.  The health and well being of your pet(s) is our utmost concern.

"I'm Home" Calls
Please remember to call (or, send us an email or text) when you have returned home safely!  

Billing & Payments
Most pet sitting and dog walking companies require payment up front for services.  All Critters has always billed our clients at the end of service.  If you're a weekly dog walking customer you'll generally receive an invoice on the last day we walk your dog(s) that week.  If you're a vacation/pet sitting client, we'll invoice you on the last day you have us scheduled.  Payment is due on receipt.  We use an online invoicing and payment system through our site that makes making payments very easy.  Online we accept all major credit cards (MasterCard, VISA, AMEX, & Discover) and we also accept PayPal.  If you prefer to pay by check you can simply mail it to us when you return (or, you can leave it for us on the first visit).  We can also accept cash if you leave that out as well.  Payment is considered late on the 7th day and a $5 late fee is added to the account at that point.

Holiday Surcharges
All Critters is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year from 6am - 10pm.  We're always available to help look after your pets &/or home.  During holidays and other special days each year we give up time with family and friends and we're on the road checking in on everyone's pets making sure they're safe and happy for the holiday.  

We charge a little extra ($5 per visit) for visits that fall on the following days:

	•	New Years Day
        *	Easter Weekend: Saturday & Sunday
	•	Mother's Day
	•	Memorial Day Weekend: Saturday - Monday
	•	Father's Day
	•	Independence Day
	•	Labor Day Weekend: Saturday - Monday
	•	Thanksgiving & the day after
	•	Christmas Eve, Day, & the day after
	•	New Years Eve
	
We appreciate your understanding.  This extra money goes to the sitters to help make time away from family a little easier.

Distance & Time Upcharges
The majority of our clients are in the N. Ral area (where we're located) but we're happy to travel almost anywhere in the Triangle area.  Because of the increase in gas & time, we do add an upcharge to the following zip codes:  $2.00 per visit for 27617; $3.00 per visit for 27604, 27601, 27606, 27560; $5.00 per visit for $27614, 27616, 27603, 27610, 27519, 27513, 27518; & $6.00 per visit for 27511.  

This list is current as of March 1, 2019.  As we increase staff and our coverage area grows, we expect some of these surcharges to come down or go away completely.  

Acceptable Methods of Payment
We accept all major credit cards (MasterCard, VISA, American Express & Discover),  PayPal, physical checks & cash.  Whatever is easiest for you!  

Visitors
Please notify All Critters Petcare if others (housekeepers, friends, family members, etc.) will have access to your home during your absence. It is understood that the client will notify anyone with access to the home that All Critters Petcare services have been engaged. The homeowner &/or police will be called to report all intruders or suspicious acts without exception. All Critters Petcare, company owner, agents, assigns, successors and heirs are not liable and are completely indemnified for any and all liability stemming from the act(s) or failure to act of third parties, whether known or unknown, including but not limited to, friends, neighbors, relatives or other service persons, that you allow to enter your residence for any purpose while All Critters Petcare is caring for your pet(s).

Aggressive / Fearful Dogs
We love & enjoy taking care of all animals.  That doesn't mean we want to be injured doing it.  During our initial meet & greet we'll have a chance to meet and get acquainted with your dog(s).  If your dog is overly fearful or aggressive, we may have to decline taking you on as a client.  Also, if at some point your dog(s) behavior changes dramatically, we may make the difficult decision to terminate our relationship.  It's just not fair (or safe) to anyone involved if the dog doesn't feel safe and secure.  Obviously, this is a case-by-case issue and we'll do anything possible to avoid this, but everyone's safety is our primary goal.

Unsecured Pet(s)
All Critters Petcare cannot be held responsible for free-roaming or outdoor pet(s) in the event of illness, injury, loss or death. It is strongly advised that all pet(s) have some form of permanent ID and that they remain inside the home or confined to a yard or pen for their own safety and welfare in your absence.  We understand that many people have outdoor cats (or, cats that come & go), but we can't be responsible for anything that might occur while outside the safety of the home.  All dogs while outside the home will be on a secure leash, we don't allow dogs to run off leash (other than in your backyard).

Pet Proofing
It is the pet owner's sole responsibility to “pet-proof” any areas of the home and/or property to which the pet(s) has access. This includes thoroughly inspecting fences, gates, latches, doors and other devices meant to contain the pet(s) or restrict access to specific areas. The pet sitter does not assume responsibility and has no liability for any injuries the pet(s) may sustain or property damage the pet(s) may cause while in their own home/property.
