1.Do you charge per pet?
No!  We charge by the amount of time that you would like us to spend with your pets. 
Our visits are 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 1 hour in length, or our overnights are 12 hour
stays.  If we think that taking care of your pets may take longer (i.e dogs must be walked
seperatly), we may suggest longer visits.

2. What is included in your visits?
All of our visits include food, fresh water and interaction.  Depending on the type of pet
and their normal routine, we can customize visits to suit your needs.  Please visit our
Services and Rates page for more information.

3.What is the initial "meet and greet" for?
The "meet and greet" allows us to meet you and your pets and to specify services
needed.  We generally go over feeding and exercise routines, fill out paperwork, and
collect house keys.  We are happy to answer any questions you may have at this time
also!

4. Do you board pets at your home?
No, we do not take pets in our home to be boarded.  If this type of service is needed, we
can recommend several excellent boarding facilities.

5.What do you do with my house key?
When visits are in progress, your house key will be kept with the pet sitter at all times.
If you choose for us to keep the key after the sits, it will be coded and stored in a lock
box for future visits.

6.Do you have experience giving medications to pets?  Do you charge extra?
Yes, we have extensive experience giving pills, liquids, and subcutaneous (sub-Q)
injections.
We do not charge extra for giving medications and/or supplements.

7.Do you take care of outdoor cats?
Yes, we do take care of outdoor cats provided that they have proper identification. 
However, we will not let them out in extreme weather conditions (cold, snowing,etc.). 
In addition, by letting your cat outdoors you are aware of the additional risks this poses
and you agree not to hold us responsible.

8.What animals do you provide care for?
We provide care for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, ferrets, rabbits, small mammals and
fish.  We do not provide care for farm animals.

9.Do you have an emergency plan incase of illness or inclement weather?
Yes, we have contact with several area sitters incase of a true emergency.  In the case
of inclement weather, we will do our very best to accommodate your sits as planned.

10.What will you do if my pet requires emergency veterinary attention?
If your pet is in a life threatening emergency, we will not hesitate to seek treatment.
You will always be contacted first and if we cannot get a hold of you, we will try to
contact your emergency numbers.  In case of a serious emergency, we recommend
having a credit card on file with your regular veterinarian.

11.Do you charge extra for holiday service?
Yes, because we are taking time out from our own lives to care for your pets, there is an
extra $5.00 surcharge for visits and $10.00 surcharge for overnights on holidays.
This surcharge applies on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor
Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.

12.Do you walk dogs off leash or in a group?
For liability reasons we do not walk dogs off leash and we only walk dogs from the same
family together. 

12.Do you accept tips?
Yes, if you feel that we have gone above and beyond your expectations, tips are certainly
appreciated but not expected.  Tips will go directly to the sitter.

13. What is your mailing address?
Our mailing address is:
Dogma Catma Pet Sitting
1750-1 30th Street PMB #199
Boulder, CO  80301

14.Who will be taking care of my pets?
Jordan Di Marco will be carrying out the "meet and greet" and if one of the associate pet sitters
will be doing the sits, you will have the opportunity to meet them as well if you so choose.  We
will always keep you informed of who will do the actual visits.  All of our associate pet sitters
have been through a thorough background and reference check and they are insured and
bonded with Dogma Catma Pet Sitting. 

15.Do you require that pets be vaccinated?
The law requires that you have your pets vaccinated for Rabies and have current proof of
vaccination.  We only require a Rabies vaccination for pet sitting service.  Whether you choose
to vaccinate for other diseases is up to you.

16. Do you service mountain areas?
We only provide service for mountain homes within a 5 mile distance West from Broadway
Street.

17. What is an Accredited Pet Sitter?
Pet Sitters International developed an accreditation course that is an educational course
designed specifically for pet sitters in the areas of pet care, health and nutrition, additional
services and business and office procedures.  Once the coursework is completed, Accredited
Pet Sitters recertify by enrolling in continuing education programs in all aspects of animal care
and business practices.  For more information visit PSI's website .

"Jordan has been 'Dog Nanny' for my two 'furry' children since August 2007.  I am so lucky to have her.  I work 14 hour days and my dogs don't have access to a yard.  They love their mid day walks, and Jordan always leaves daily notes of what they did.

Jordan is reliable, punctual and  most importantly, dependable.  She has provided excellent support to me when I work or go out of town. She has consistently displayed compassion and sound judgement when taking care of dogs.

Jordan is devoted to her profession.  It shows that she takes her job seriously and works very hard to meet the goal of providing excellent care to my dogs.

Clearly, I highly recommend her."
