To minimize the chance of misplaced, lost or stolen keys we operate with a “lock box system”. We require that 2 (two) sets of working keys be put into your lock box and your lock box will be attached to your house/apartment or where you specify. You can purchase a lock box from us for $25 or you can buy/use your own lock box. If you chose to purchase a box from PFD Pet Care the cost will be added onto the cost of the first meeting. The function of the lock box is your responsibility. So please check to make sure it is in working order periodically (especially in the winter) so we can get inside to care for your pet. If we cannot get inside of your home due to a lock box not working properly, we will notify you immediately. It will be your responsibility to replace the lock box.
Alternatively, if you have an electronic lock, concierge at your building or garage code that you wish to use to allow us to enter your house, this works as well. We just don’t take or hold onto any keys :).
When scheduling an appointment, is it an exact time a walker/runner will arrive or a window of time?
All walkers, runners and pet sitters will arrive within a 2 hour window the surrounds the time that you have scheduled. For example if you schedule a walk for 3 pm the window in which we will arrive is between 2 pm- 4 pm.
All clients are charged for their COMPLETED services from the previous week each Monday. You enter your credit card information into your profile on Petchecktechology.com. This is a secure and safe site for payment.
We will always do our best to accommodate any last minute requests. But we cannot guarantee we will be able to do so. If you schedule by 5 pm, you will be on the schedule for the following day. If you schedule after 5 pm, we will do our best to help out. Please email us at Info@PhillyFitDog.com to inquire about any last minute visits. There is an $8 fee for any last minute requests.
