- No repairs, cleaning or contractor supervision.
- Alarm codes and access details must be provided before the first visit.
Changes & cancellation · Short visits
- Free cancellation or reschedule up to 12 hours before the start time.
- Inside 12 hours, 50% of the visit price is charged.
- Inside 2 hours of the start (or a no-show), the visit is charged in full.
- Reschedules are free while you're outside the 12-hour window — the new time keeps the same price.

- No — this is a 30-minute property check, not a pet-sitting visit. Pets left at home need a drop-in or sitting visit instead.
- A walk round the property, doors, windows, taps and any signs of leaks, plus plants watered, mail and parcels brought in and bins moved as needed. A photo report confirms it all.
- Alarm codes and access details must be provided before the first visit. They're stored with your booking and shared only with your assigned caregiver.
- Every visit ends with a report in your account: a photo, a checklist of what was done (potty, food, water, medication, walk, playtime) and a short note from your caregiver. You're notified as soon as it's filed.
- Visits are scheduled between 7am and 8pm. US public holidays add $12. An extra pet in the same home is $5 and medication administration is $5. Everything is itemised in the price summary before you confirm.
