Pet Nanny - Meet & Greet

Every new client begins with an in-home meet & greet so we can get to know you and your pet’s routine.

This visit allows us to:

  • Learn your pet’s personality and care needs
  • Review feeding, medications, and routines
  • Confirm home access and entry instructions


*Meet & Greets are complimentary with booked services. If your appointment is canceled, a $30 fee will apply to help cover time and travel.
