*Free Initial Consultation Visit.  This visit is required before service can begin with a new customer.  During this visit, I will meet with you and your pets to make sure we are comfortable with one another, and that you are in agreement with our policies and procedures.  I will go over everything with you, meet with your pets, and spend some time with your pets to make sure they are comfortable with me.  My utmost goal is to make sure your pets are happy, well cared for, and healthy while you are away from home.  I can pick up a copy of your key at the time of the initial consultation visit, or can make other arrangements for key pick-up and return at this time.
