Doggy Sleepovers

Are there specific Pick up/drop off times?
Between 8am-8pm, unless the sitter approves a time outside that range.

Do I get to meet the pet sitter first?
Absolutely. In fact, it is our requirement. We will set up an appropriate day & time where you can bring your dog over to the sitters’ home.  That way, you can see where they will be staying and, if there are any other dogs, we can make sure they will get along.  Safety is our most important concern.

What do I need to bring for the Doggy Slumber Party?
Please bring food/water bowls, food, treats, medicine, toys, bedding, crate, and anything else to make your fur baby feel at home.

Do you provide a taxi service if I can’t drop off/pick up my dog?
Yes. We offer a pet taxi for an additional charge, based on the time it takes. Please have their “sleepover bag” ready before we arrive.

What is the cost for 1,2, 3+ dogs?
$60/night for 1 dog and $20/night for your 2nd dog.  Puppies are $70/night (under 6 months).   The costs are based on a 24-hour time frame.
If you exceed 28 hours, without going in the next day, you will be charged a Doggy Daycare Fee of $30.  Please call us if you have 3 dogs as we would need to make special accommodations.

Do you have a weight limit or breed restriction?
We welcome all sizes and breeds, but it really depends on our sitters’ preference and if the particular sitter lives in a breed or weight restricted community.

Does the pet sitter have personal animals of their own?
Some of our pet sitters do have pets of their own and some do not. We do require a meet and greet so you can meet your pet sitter and their animals beforehand. Please let us know your specific needs and we will find the perfect pet sitter for you.

Do you accept dogs that don’t get along with other dogs or cats?
Yes, we have pet sitters who do not have personal pets of their own, so they would be the best fit or a dog who wants all the cuddles to themselves.

Does the sitter have a fenced in backyard or live in an apartment?
We have sitters who live in houses, condos, and apartments. Let us know your specific needs and we will do our best accommodate. The most important part is human attention and exercise on walks.

How many times do you walk my dog?
3 times a day, minimum . Let us know your routine and we will follow it as best as possible.

Is the pet sitter going to be home all day while watching my dog?
Staying home ALL day is an unrealistic expectation, but your pups will get tons of attention. Besides other daily visits or errands, most our sitters work from home or have part time jobs.

How far in advanced do I need to schedule?
We recommend as much notice as possible as we do have limited availability, ESPECIALLY on holiday weekends. The closer it gets to your requested dates, the harder it is for us to accommodate Sleepover requests.

Are my dog(s) ever crated?
It depends on what their normal routine is and we would prefer to have them roam free. But, if they are having accidents or if your dog is being destructive, they will be crated when the sitter isn’t home.

How many other dogs are there?
It varies, but most sitters prefer having no more than 3 dogs at a time.

Do you require a deposit?
A 50% deposit is required to reserve the requested dates.

What happens if, in the middle of a Doggy Sleepover, the pet sitter can’t watch my dog anymore?
Maybe because of an emergency or if my dog is being too much trouble.  This is a very rare occurrence, but it has happened before.  Part of the benefit with choosing Calling All Dogs & Cats is that we guarantee the care for your pet, as long as our sitters aren’t at risk of injury due to any aggressive behavior. We first see if any other sitter is available for Sleepovers. If not, we will bring your dog back home & provide in-home visits or Overnights in your home. Of course, you will be kept in the loop the entire time.

What do you do if there is a hurricane and my dog is staying over?
You must have an emergency back up plan/person who can take your dog. In the event of an evacuation due to a hurricane or other disaster, natural or man-made, Calling All Dogs cannot take pets to their home or make your home disaster ready, as our sitters have to ensure their own family’s safety. In your profile, in our pet sitting software, you are required to list the people that you have designated to carry out emergency plans in your absence. This person should have access to your home (keys, security codes, etc.) and is willing and able to handle the tasks necessary to safely remove your pet(s) from the home in the event of a disaster and take them to a safe location. We will do our best to coordinate & help in any situation.
