Care Request

Thank you for considering me to care for your home and companions.

Every home, every pet, and every family has its own rhythms and routines. Rather than offering instant booking, I take time to thoughtfully review each care request so I can determine whether I’m the right fit for your needs and provide a personalized quote.

This process helps ensure that your home receives attentive, well-prepared care while also allowing me to understand your expectations before either of us commits to a booking.


How the Process Works

1. Submit Your Care Request

Complete the guided request form with information about your home, your pets (if applicable), the services you’re looking for, and your requested dates.

You’ll also be asked to upload photos of your home and complete a few policy acknowledgements so I can accurately evaluate your request.

2. Request Review

Once submitted, I’ll carefully review everything you’ve shared.

During this stage I’ll determine:

  • whether I’m available for your requested dates
  • whether the sit is a good mutual fit
  • whether I have enough information to confidently care for your home and pets
  • whether any follow-up questions or a consultation are needed
  • an estimated travel cost (if applicable)

Submitting this request does not reserve your dates or confirm a booking.

3. Approval

If we’re a good fit, you’ll receive an approval email with the next steps.

4. Identity Verification

Before any booking is finalized, approved clients will be asked to complete a secure identity verification process.

This step helps protect both homeowners and myself while establishing trust before access to a private residence is granted.

5. Personalized Quote & Invoice

After identity verification is complete, you’ll receive a customized quote based on your requested services, travel requirements, and any agreed-upon add-ons.

If you’d like to move forward, payment will be completed through a secure invoice.

6. Booking Confirmation

Your booking is officially confirmed once payment has been received.

At that point, we’ll finalize arrival details, communication preferences, emergency contacts, and anything else needed to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.

Please do not make travel plans based solely on a booking request submission. Wait until your booking has been formally confirmed.


Estimated Pricing

During the request process you’ll have an opportunity to select the services you’re interested in.

You’ll also see an estimated service subtotal based on those selections.

Because every home is different, your final quote may also take into account:

  • travel expenses
  • number of pets
  • length of stay
  • specialized care requirements
  • additional agreed-upon services

You’ll always receive your personalized quote before any payment is requested.


Before You Begin

Please set aside a little time to complete the request thoughtfully.

The more complete your information is, the easier it is for me to accurately evaluate your request and prepare for your sit if approved.

You’ll be asked to provide information about:

  • your requested dates
  • your home
  • your pets (if applicable)
  • daily routines and responsibilities
  • requested services
  • photos of the home and pet spaces
  • policy acknowledgements
