In case of any emergency with your pet, your pet sitter will contact you immediately. 417 Pet Sitting will transport your pet to your vet. During transport and while at the vet, your pet sitter will make every effort to stay in constant contact with you. If an emergency arises after hours, your pet will be taken to the Emergency Vet Hospital and treated according to your wishes.
At 417 Pet Sitting, we use secure pet-care software to keep you connected every step of the way. After each visit, you’ll receive a detailed update that includes notes about your pet’s care, along with photos so you can see how they’re doing. These real-time visit reports give you peace of mind and transparency, whether you’re at work or out of town. You’ll never have to wonder when we arrive or how your pet is doing. We make sure you’re always in the loop.
We accept cash, checks, money orders, and all major credit cards. Checks and money orders should be made out to "417 Pet Sitting" only. Invoices will be sent once services are completed. Please pay promptly.

417 Pet Sitting allows individual pet sitters to establish their own cancellation policies, which may vary but should not exceed our company policy. Our primary focus is providing outstanding pet care and services. When clients book with us, they secure our time and reserve a spot on our calendar, which becomes exclusively dedicated to them and cannot be allocated to anyone else. Therefore, these policies ensure fairness and accountability while respecting clients' and pet sitters' time and commitments.
417 Pet Sitting allows for refunds or credits to be applied towards future pet sitting services on a per instance basis. These policies do not apply to acts of God or extreme weather. The following outlines our typical cancellation policies:
