Emergency & Disaster Planning
We require clients to give us detailed contact info each time they are
away. Hurricane season is normally from June 1 to November 30. If a
storm is headed our way, we will not be able to evacuate our clients'
pets. We request clients to provide us with the names and all contact
numbers for individual(s) with keys who have been designated to pick
up and care for pets until owners return.
If clients do not
have anyone who can care for their pets, we will make every effort to
continue our visits. However, if neighborhoods are not accessible due
to flooding, downed trees or power lines, we can only return when conditions
are safe. On our last visit before bad weather is expected to hit, we
will leave extra food and water down.
