Instruction

Your Pet's Comfort and Care Come First. Before you embark on your journey, we invite you to review our Policy and Terms of Conditions . If our approach resonates with you, it's time to take the next step.

​

  1. Schedule an Appointment: Before your departure, as a client, schedule a meet and greet appointment through this website. 

  2. Book to Secure Date: Confirm your booking under "Service"  which secures the date for the meet and greet.

  3. Meet and Greet: The scheduled meet and greet takes place at your home, where you and your pet(s) meet the pet sitter. This is an opportunity for the pet sitter to get acquainted with your pet, understand their routine, and any specific instructions or special care they might need.

  4. Continuation of Service: If you are satisfied and interested in proceeding with Island Pawperty Sitter's service, you inform them of your decision to move forward.

  5. Provide Spare Key: Once you've decided to hire our services, you provide a spare key to your home. This key is used by the pet sitter to access your home during the booked period.

  6. Service Period: The pet sitter takes care of your pet(s) and follows the agreed-upon schedule and care instructions during the booked days.

  7. Safe Key Return: After the pet sitting session is completed, the pet sitter returns your house key to the designated safe area, as discussed during the meet and greet.

 

By following this straightforward procedure, Island Pawperty Sitter ensures that your pet receives the care and attention they need while you're away, giving you peace of mind during your time apart.

The Best Way To Schedule Drop- in Visits For Dogs

Welcome to Island Pawperty, where scheduling drop- in visits has never been simpler. 

 

Why do we offer NO TIME LIMIT visit? We offer no-time-limit visits at Island Pawperty Sitter service to ensure your pets receive the best care. This approach allows us to focus on your pet's comfort and well-being, rather than rushing through our visit. We stay as long as your pet needs, creating a stress-free and enjoyable experience for them.

​

​

Now, let's talk time slots. With Island Pawperty, you have the freedom to mix and match visits to fit your schedule:

  • Morning: 7:00am – 9:30am

  • Late Morning: 9:30am – 11:00am

  • Mid-Day: 11:00 am – 2:00 pm

  • Early Afternoon: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

  • Late Afternoon: 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

  • Evening: 4:00 pm – 6:30 pm

  • Bedtime: 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm

 

Wondering how many visits your pup needs each day? For most dogs, our popular package starts from "two visits per day" which is the minimum. But if you're looking to keep tails wagging, we recommend three visits, if your budget allows.

 

If two visits are your choice, consider a morning and bedtime slot. For three visits per day, a nice morning visit to a mid-day walk keeps their spirits high until bedtime. Speaking of options, take your pick:

  • Option #1: Morning, Early Afternoon, Bedtime

  • Option #2: Morning, Late Afternoon, Bedtime

 

Both options ensure your pup is well-fed and well-cared-for. Our mission? To see your furry friend smiling from ear to ear, every single day. That's the Island Pawperty way.

The Best Way To Schedule Drop-in Visits For Cats

When booking visits, it is important to consider your cat’s personality when choosing the length of your visits. If your cat is social, you might want longer visits. If your cat is anti-social, shorter visits are recommended because a sitter’s presence in your home may stress out a cat that is afraid of people.

 

One Or Two Visits Per Day

Usually, we try to match the number of visits per day to the number of times that your cats eat a meal or get medication.

 

For example, if your cats eat a meal in the morning and in the evening, we will usually schedule two visits per day. If your cats have free-feed dry food or only get wet food once per day, we generally schedule one visit per day.

 

If your cat gets any medications, you will need to schedule a visit that corresponds to the time your cat gets the medication.

 

Flex-Time Visits

The Flextime time block is between 8:00 am & 8:00 pm and is very popular. They can be purrfect for you.

If you are having trouble finding a cat sitter with availability, which is common during the holidays, you can suggest a flextime time block. Being flexible with your visit time might help you get in if you are booking last minute.

 

 

Times When Cat Sitters Can Come To Your Home

We will usually set up flextime visits or an in the morning and in the evening. Below are all of the time slots that we offer for cat sitting.

​

  • Morning: 7:00am – 9:30am

  • Late Morning: 9:30am – 11:00am

  • Mid-Day: 11:00 am – 2:00 pm

  • Early Afternoon: 1:00 – 3:00 pm

  • Late Afternoon: 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm

  • Evening: 4:00 pm – 6:30 pm

  • Flex Time: 8:00 am – 8:00 pm

 

​

60-minute Visits

During the 60-minute visit, your cat will get the same: Mealtime- Playtime – Snuggles as the 40-minute but they get even more of the good stuff. I have seen cats really connect with us during the 60-minute visits and I have heard some of the loudest purrs come from the 60-minute visits! 

 

If you can get away with one visit per day, booking one 60-minute visit is a great bang for your buck! Shorter visits can be good if your cat is afraid of people or aggressive. I like to get in and out of those visits quickly because your cat will be stressed out just by our presence. I don’t want to add any stress to their situation, so when a cat doesn’t warm up to new people, at maximum, I do a 30-minute visit, in some cases.

​

 

How Much Time Does It Take for A Sitter to Give My Cat a Pill?

Giving a cat a pill can take anywhere from 1 – 15 minutes depending on how well your cat takes pills. If pill pockets are not an option and we will directly give the pill to your cat, it takes a few minutes for a cat that is good with pills and 15 minutes or more for a cat that does not like pills.

 

Whenever possible we will use the soft Salmon Flavored treats as a pill pocket. These work great because it makes administering a pill basically stress-free for your cat. Most of the time we will not even have to take a shy cat out of its hiding spot to give a pill if we use the Whisker Lickin’ method. We just smush the treat around the pill, toss it to the cat, and in a few minutes the treat is usually gobbled up!

 

If your cat is shy, it might take 5-10 minutes just to find your cat and then a few minutes to confirm your cat ate the pill pocket. So for shy cats be sure to book enough time. Its amazing all of the hiding spots cats can find!

 

For really shy cats that need pills, you might want to set up a kitty room and we will try to keep your cat in one room with food water and a litter box. This will minimize the number of hiding spaces and your cat might actually feel more comfortable being in a smaller room while you are away.

 

Automatic Food Dish To Get Down To One Visit Per Day

One of the easiest ways to get down to one visit per day, and keep your cat on a regular meal schedule, is with an automatic food dish. These cat food dishes that are on a timer so your cats get their meal on time, even while we are not there! 

 

This is the most ingenious way I have seen to set up a once per day cat visit schedule. You can put dry food in these dishes, set them for 12 hours in advance, and they just pop open! 

 

No batteries or cords are needed because they operate on a wind-up timer. If you put wet food in them, you will need to put a freeze-pack in the bottom to keep the wet-food fresh.  

 

Over time, these cat food dishes wear out. You might want to buy a spare if you are counting on it over a long stretch of holiday visits.

 

Beware Of Changing Meal Times For Older Cats

If you decide to not use a timed food dish, be careful changing meal times & amounts quickly. Dramatically Changing a meal schedule or the type of food too quickly can be dangerous for older cats.

 

Older cats tend to have sensitive digestion because they do not absorb nutrients as well as young cat. Even changing the mix of food on the fly can have detrimental effects.

 

Be careful here. It’s serious stuff. If your cat is older or has sensitive digestion, it may be in your cat’s best interest to schedule visits during their regular mealtimes.
