Frequently Asked Questions

Meet & Greet/Intake

The meet & greet session/consult is required to ensure proper care of your pet(s). During this time, a detailed intake is completed to address behaviors, obtain home information and work with clients to ensure the right amount of visits are provided. It's also a good way for everyone to meet and be comfortable with each other, prior to confirming services. The initial meet & greet is complimentary. However, if you would like additional meet & greet/intake sessions, a $22 fee will be incurred.



Job Sharing

For the sake of keeping your routine on schedule, and for the safety & security of your pets and home, we do not job share in any capacity. This means no one else should be entering your home during service dates scheduled for the purpose of caring for your animals. Insurance & liability will be null and void if this policy is not followed. If other service individuals such as lawn maintenance or home cleaning are scheduled, please discuss this in advance. You may be required to sign a waiver of liability of other individuals will be in the home during time(s) of service.

What the Heck is a "Kraken"?

"Release the Kraken!" is a popular cult phrase from the 1981 movie, "Clash of the Titans". In it, the Kraken was a beast to be reckoned with. We eventually got to the point where we, as pet parents, would say "Watch out...I'm going to Release the Krakens!" prior to letting all our rescue dogs out. In our play on words, we use "Release the Krakens!" as a way to get your pets out on walk, have some fun & enjoy playing.



Visits

We use specific pet sitting software that provides our clients with detailed visit reports including GPS tracking. Pictures of your pets are always included. Clients have access to all of their information as well as previous communications, service requests, etc. Terms & conditions apply.
