Many veterinarians and pet experts believe that keeping pets in their familiar surrounding helps to alleviate the stress imposed when their owners have to leave home. Pets are then also able to maintain their diet and exercise routine, and enjoy the personal attention provided by a pet sitter. This also eliminates the trauma of being transported and minimizes their exposure to illnesses of other animals.
I have been caring for pets most of my life. I began my business prior to 2005, caring for pets as a Pet Sitter. I lived in Jacksonville, Florida until 2015, at which time I moved to the Villages, Florida and continued my "love job" caring for pets. In 2020, I retired from the corporate world to pursue a full time pet sitting career (if you may). In 2020, I moved from The Villages to Summerfield, Florida.

WALKS/VISITS: For current clients, it is preferred services be booked at least 72 hours in advance of the requested day of service. Currently, clients requesting 2 weeks prior to services are being approved, subject to availability. The earlier you can book, the more likely you'll be approved. We do accommodate last minute requests when we are able to.
OVERNIGHT STAYS: All overnight reservations should be booked as soon as possible (for example: as soon as or BEFORE flight arrangements have been made) as availability is very limited.
If Cancellation is made 5 days prior to your departure date, 100% payment is required. If Cancellation is made 10 days prior to your departure date, your 50% deposit will be forfeited. If I rebook your dates with another job(s), I will return up to 50% of your cancellation fee.
We try to avoid exposing pets to extreme weather. As long as it's safe, we will take dogs for a full walk. If it is lightning out or if there is a tornado warning or extreme temperatures which makes it unsafe, we will offer your pet other options like a quick let out and indoor play.
If you have a secure yard, we will happily let your dog out to play ball or just let them run and spend time in the yard. All dogs must be in a secure area or on a leash for safety.
You can enjoy convenience and peace of mind with texts and pictures sent to you (via cell phone) of your fur babies to let you know that they are being well taken care of.
Unfortunately, we do not administer insulin or any other injections/shots, but we will administer any veterinary prescribed medications to your pet(s) as oral medication and pills.
If we suspect that something is wrong with your pet, we will call you. If you believe the veterinarian should see the pet, we will transport your fur baby to the veterinarian's office for examination and treatment. In the event we cannot reach you, Paradis Pet Sitting will decide if the veterinarian should see your pet. If necessary, we will take your pet for treatment. You will be billed for any extra time we spend for these services.
Security is our TOP PRIORITY. Your keys are kept securely with Paradis Pet Sitting. Your keys will be tested and collected prior to the start of services during your Meet & Greet. Once collected, your keys will be labeled discreetly and kept securely at our office for future services. We WILL NOT leave your keys at your home or lock them inside after our last visit/service. If your keys are not available during the Meet & Greet, you must schedule a key pickup prior to your requested service. Additional visits for a Key Pickup are $20.
Paradis Pet Sitting requires that all clients provide two (2) keys to be kept on file for as long as you remain a client. * If you would like your keys returned after your service, you may schedule a Key Return for $20. We can also destroy and discard your keys free of charge.
If the pet has aggressively bitten someone in the past, then no, we cannot provide service as that is too much of a liability issue. If the pet is skittish and maybe just growls around those he doesn't know, then we will be happy to work with you. If additional visits are necessary to socialize the pet, then a normal visit fee will be charged. If at any time we feel that it is unsafe to perform a service, we will reserve the right to discontinue service.
Surcharges apply for holiday scheduling and will be discussed at the time of booking.
