Pet Sitting - New Client Procedure Steps
After you check out my Wagtime Pet Sitting & Dog Training llc website & you feel you want to talk to me, Linda Greenfield, about using my pet sitting & care services, just follow these 5 steps:
1 - Contact me:
A - Call me at 305-519-9711 to Leave Your Voice Message or Text
OR
B - Submit a New Client Inquiry Form online to find out:
- if I am available for your trip dates
- to schedule a phone consult with me.
* Check my Areas Serviced page to see if I furnish service to your address.
2 - Schedule a free in-your-home Interview Appointment with me.
This Interview Appointment is required before any potential client can actually make a reservation.
The Interview Appointment allows an in-person assessment for you, & for myself, to determine that Wagtime Pet Sitting & Dog Training llc is the most appropriate pet care service for you.
3 - Once your payment for your Reservation Deposit of 10% of total estimated fees is received & accepted by myself (or other designated representative of Wagtime Pet Sitting & Dog Training llc), your reservation dates will be held.
If reservations are made 21 days or less prior to service start date,
then 50% of Service Fees are due in order to reserve dates for Pet Care Service.
4 - You must personally supply two (2) house keys to me or another designated representative of Wagtime Pet Sitting & Dog Training llc, preferably at your interview appointment or at least ten (10) days prior to start date of scheduled service.
5 - An additional 40% of total pet care service fees must be received by me (or another designated representative of Wagtime Pet Sitting & Dog Training llc) 14 days (2 weeks) prior to the scheduled start date for your pet care service.
Usually we will schedule an appointment 10-14 days prior to your scheduled start date so I can meet your pets again, pick up your house keys, & collect your 40% payment of total estimated fees.
Payment can be made over the phone via credit or debit card.

At your Interview Appointment, I will meet & evaluate your pets & their needs, then discuss with you what pet care services would be most appropriate.
During our Interview, if I do feel your pet(s) will accept me as their their care provider, I reserve the right to refuse to provide pet care service for them.
