May 16, 2009--We just met for our regularly scheduled educational and organizational update!  Our educational topic was "Interpreting Dog Body Language".  We are ready to take care of all your pet care needs!  Learn more about us on the "Meet Our Pet Sitters" page! 

We were delighted to welcome our guest teacher, Mr. Van Sturgeon, with Clarity Canine & Equine, LLC here from Ravenel. Van trains dogs and horses, and shared a wealth of information with our pet sitters about how to better understand and interpret your dogs' body language.  He also answered our questions about our clients' pets that will help us with our pet sitting responsibilities.  We would like to recommend Van to anyone who could use a little help with their pet behaviors.  You may contact him thru his website at www.claritycanine.com or by phone at 843-556-0782.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS


With the 2009 Hurricane season upon us here in the LowCountry, we feel it appropriate to offer information to you about protecting your family, pets and homes.  We can now offer all our clients the sticker above to place on their homes, and we can be contacted in the event their pets require emergency help. If you are a current client and would like a sticker, please contact us.  We would be glad to provide emergency shelter for your pets if you are not at home and cannot be reached.

ON-LINE BILLING---FINALLY! 

We are happy to say that you can now pay for your pet sitting on-line!  You can enter either Visa or MasterCard information and you can make a payment!  Once you set up your visits with us, you will receive a confirmation via e-mail.  Once you receive this email, you will find a link at the bottom underneath the total balance due and you can simply click on that link and it will take you to a page to enter your billing information and make a payment.  You can easily include gratuity for your special pet sitter if you wish.  We can also bill manually from the office, if you would prefer that method of payment.

We hope you will find this service helpful!  Please let us know if you have any questions.

 

IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY!

May 2009 marks the second anniversary of Pawsitively Pet Sitting. You will notice Jesse above wearing our anniversary bandana that we will share with our clients who we visit in May. We have grown from our very first client, Katie and her cat Bandit, to having over 120 clients and over 200 pets..and growing every week!  We appreciate so much the trust that our clients have had by requesting our services many times.  We hope that our quality of care will only improve with time and experience.  Thanks to all of you for making this opportunity available to all of us!  

 

 DATABASE UPDATES May 2009!!

We have been using our computerized scheduling system with great success.  The pet sitters enjoy it and it makes communication much easier.  Now you get to enjoy it too!  Please visit our last page on this website (Contact Us & Make a Payment) and you can login to the system yourself!  You can view you own profile, request your pet sitting needs, and even make a payment via credit/debit card!    You can even view the comments made by your pet sitters while you are out of town.   We hope you'll enjoy using the system as much as we do. Please let us know what you think.

 

 COMPUTERIZED DATABASE AND SCHEDULING

In February 2009, we just began using a new computerized scheduling program called "Professional Pet Sitter". It is wonderful and will help us tremendously with scheduling our clients and sending YOU confirmations for your pet sitting needs.  When you confirm with us a reservation, you will receive a confirmation, and once again just a couple days before the service begins.  This way you will be sure that we're ready to take care of your pets as you plan for your time away.  We hope it will faciliate communications and show that we take our pet sitting commitments very seriously! 

 

FUTURE

PET SITTERS


Jesse and Donna attended a Brownie Troop #101 meeting at the Pinewood Prep School in Summerville where we were asked to talk about Pet Sitting as a career for women!  The girls were so excited to hug and do tricks with Jesse. I'm not sure they know how to start up a business, but I know they enjoyed visiting with and hugging the dog!  That's what leads to a great pet sitter anyway!  Thanks to their leader Stephanie and all the girls for making us feel so welcomed.

 

VACATIONERS:  DOG WALKING NEEDED?

If you're vacationing in Charleston and would like us to come for a time or two and let your dog out for a potty break/walk while you enjoy the sites of beautiful historic Charleston, let us know!  We can come to your pet-friendly hotel, take your pup for a walk. No hassel! 

Pet Friendly Hotels in Downtown Charleston include the Indigo Inn and Charleston Place!  Hope to meet you dog there!

 

 PET FIRST AID

Wendy and Donna completed the Pet First Aid course offered by the American Red Cross for dogs and cats.  We certainly hope we never have to use the valuable information we learned, but feel more confident in helping our clients' pets should an emergency occur.  

 

  OVERNIGHT STAY

We now can offer overnight stays at your home.  We will be in your home at a minimum between 10pm-6am while you are away.  Call early to schedule as we cannot guarantee availability.  Contact us for more information!
