Midday Potty Drop-In
Do you work long hours and need help giving your pup a midday potty break? With a potty drop-in they can get backyard potty time or a potty walk around the neighborhood. If time allows, we can provide a meal, refresh water, and play or cuddle if your pup loves that. Visits are scheduled between 9 am to 5 pm Monday-Friday, and availability is limited. Visits are scheduled with a 2 hour arrival timeframe. Visit time begins upon entry to your home. A weekly schedule is recommended to reserve your dog's spot on the schedule, as availability for occasional or last-minute requests is not guaranteed. All potty visits include a time-stamped mobile report card with a GPS-tracked visit summary, photos, & visit notes!

What do you do with my house keys?
To get started with Pet Care with Wild Things, clients are asked to set up a lockbox to store the house keys during the Meet & Greet. Client keys will not be kept by Wild Things for liability reasons. Clients may provide their own or purchase one from us for a low price. Alternatively, clients may forego a lock box if keyless entry is available, only for pet services where the owner is not out of town. If an alternative entry method is not available, the owner is responsible for a locksmith for us to gain entry to care for your pets in the event of a power outage or failure of keyless entry.
What's the cancellation policy?
Pet Sitting Visits, Drop-ins, and other weekday services must be cancelled by 5:00pm one business day (Monday-Friday) before the service to avoid a full service charge. Pet & House Sitting cancellations are non-refundable/creditable after the invoice due date. No refunds or credits will apply for late departure or early arrival home of the client. Holiday Service cancellations do not receive a refund or credit for the deposit. Cancellations made with less than 1 week notice will be charged in full.
