Client Communication Helps Everyone
Clear communication helps us maintain a safe environment for both pets and people.
We ask clients to notify us if:
-
someone in the household is experiencing symptoms
-
there has been recent exposure to illness
-
pets have had contact with individuals who tested positive
When possible, we also recommend avoiding overlapping visits with cleaners, contractors, or other service providers.
Temporary Service Pauses
If a sitter or household member experiences symptoms such as:
-
fever
-
cough or breathing difficulty
-
loss of taste or smell
-
confirmed illness or recent exposure
services may be temporarily paused until it is safe to resume.
Prompt communication helps protect pets, families, and our team.
