FAQ’s

  • How Do I know I can trust you with my pets?

    Not only do I hold a current police check, WWCC, have full business insurance to protect your pets, and have many years of experience with animals; I am currently studying my Certificate III in Animal Care Services, but don’t just take my word for it - read the testimonials from other happy pet parents.

  • How long are walks? How much do they cost?

    Walks are a guaranteed 30-45 minutes. That being said, at no extra cost to you, walks are often extended to an hour or more when appropriate simply for the love of the dogs!

    Walks as a stand-alone service are $35.00 per walk; as an add-on to any other service there is a 10% discount.

    Note: Pet Sits come with up to two, 20 minute walks completely free of any additional charges!

  • What is included with pet sitting? What about the price?

    A pet sitting booking is typically a 5pm-9am time slot per night, with any walks happening as agreed for each pet individually.

    I hold a strong philosophy of leaving homes cleaner than when I arrived. You will never have bedding to wash, as I provide my own.

    I will wash any dishes that have been left, and if time appropriate complete any clothes washing that needs doing. I typically also sweep, vacuum, and sometimes mop depending on the home. I’ll clean certain problem areas and of course the pooper scooper duties will be completed.

    Pet Sitting is $60.00 per night, and automatically applies a 10% discount to walks that are booked for the same period. There are two 20 minute walks included with pet sits per day as a complementary add-on for your pets!

  • Are you insured? How are my pets protected?

    Central Coast Pet Services is covered by Pet Business International, in short, your pets are protected when they are in my care.

    I carry a DW001 Dog Walking Endorsement; meaning I am covered to walk up to 6 dogs during any given walk. Personally, I prefer to keep walks to no more than 1-3 dogs per individual walk.

    With PBI your pets are protected in your home while you’re away, while they’re out adventuring while on their lead, while their enjoying life in my car, and even covered when I progress into dog grooming.
