During this consultation, the pet sitter will question the owner(s) about the vaccines, registration, habits, behaviors, special care, medications or other needs that the animal might require. The pet sitter must interact with the animal during this first consultation to judge if our services are adequate for the animal's needs.

If the animal and the pet sitter seem to have an acceptable first meeting, the pet sitter will explain the service contract to the owner. The service contract is a document that protects both the owner and pet(s) as well as the pet sitter. It is, in short, a document to which the pet sitter can refer for any question. It requires information about the client, the home, the pet, and terms and conditions of the service explaining its duration, frequency, rates, liability, etc. The pet sitter will also provide the client with references upon request.

Daily Daycare ( Monday thru Friday)

Include pick up (8:00-10:30 am) and drop off (3:00-5:30 pm)

The dogs may enjoy 3 areas at the day care: a grass field area, a crushed stones area in case of rain or snow and an inside area with dog blankets, dog beds and music. Some of the dogs prefer being outside all day while others, like to take a mid-day nap inside. We also just added an area with agility equipments.

The daycare will be closed on specific holidays and reserves the right to be closed at any given time but will formally notify clients in advance.

In-home Pet Sitting (30 minutes/visit)

A two-day advance notice is required. You must give a 24-hours notice for cancellation or you will be billed for 1–full day of reserved services. A 50% advanced deposit is required for pet sitting visits. The balance is due when the client returns home to its happy pet(s).

Dog Boarding

Reservations as far in advance as possible are required. While we are not a kennel and do not regularly provide overnight boarding, “ Paws by the Sea” can make special accommodations for our “regular” or “referred” clients. “ Paws by the Sea” reserves the right to deny any pet. We will board on a first come, first serve basis.

For all 3 services, proof of up-to-date vaccinations, including Rabies, Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, and Bordetella (kennel cough) must be presented before dog(s) allowed on premises or visited at home. Flea-Infested pet(s) must be treated before “Paws By The Sea” will care for them. We also required all dogs to be on a “flea and tick” control program and hearthworms prevention.

In case of damages done by any animals on or to “Paws By The Sea” facility and property, the client will be expected to pay for repair and/or damages. A 50% advanced deposit is required for pet boarding. The balance is due when the client picks up its happy pet(s).
