Question 3

How much does dog boarding cost in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

Dog boarding in Atlanta typically costs $50-$100+ per night depending on the facility. Pawfect Spot offers home-style boarding at $70 per night, which includes all meals, multiple outdoor breaks, playtime, and 24-hour supervision in a comfortable home environment. Additional dogs from the same family are $15 more per night.

Question 4

What's the difference between dog walking and dog daycare?

Accepted Answer

Dog walking is a scheduled visit (typically 20-60 minutes) where your dog gets exercise and outdoor time during the day. Dog daycare involves dropping your dog off at a facility for a full day of socialization and play. Dog walking is ideal for working pet parents who want their dog to have a midday break, while daycare suits dogs who need extensive socialization or can't be left alone for long periods.

Question 5

Is in-home cat sitting better than boarding for cats?

Accepted Answer

Yes, veterinarians and animal behaviorists generally recommend in-home cat sitting over boarding for most cats. Cats are territorial creatures who thrive in familiar environments. Boarding can cause stress, hiding, and refusal to eat. In-home sitting keeps cats in their safe space with familiar smells, routines, and hiding spots, resulting in happier, less anxious cats.

Question 6

Do you accept same day requests?

Accepted Answer

We understand that life happens! While we prioritize scheduled bookings, we do our absolute best to accommodate same-day requests for our existing clients. These requests are subject to availability and may incur a small last-minute booking fee.

Question 7

Question 8

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

What are your business hours?

Accepted Answer

Our administrative office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. However, our pet care services are available 7 days a week, typically ranging from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM for visits, with overnight care spanning the evening hours.

Question 11

What info should I discuss at a Meet & Greet?

Accepted Answer

The Meet & Greet is the perfect time to walk us through your pet's routine! Please discuss feeding instructions, medication needs (if any), behavioral quirks, alarm codes, location of cleaning supplies, and emergency contact information. It helps us provide the best possible care.

Question 12

How do you access my home? What is your key policy?

Accepted Answer

Most clients choose to use a secure lockbox on their property, which allows our sitters reliable access. Alternatively, we can hold a copy of your key in our secure office safe (coded, never labeled with your address) or use a garage/smart lock code. We prioritize your home's security above all else.

Question 13

Will I have the same pet sitter for every visit?

Accepted Answer

We believe in building a strong bond between sitter and pet, so we assign a dedicated primary walker/sitter to your account. However, we work as a professional team. In the event your primary sitter is sick or on vacation, a fully trained backup sitter (who has access to your pet's full profile) will step in to ensure seamless care.

Question 14

Are you insured and bonded?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Pawfect Spot is fully insured and bonded to protect both your pet and your home. We carry comprehensive liability insurance, giving you complete peace of mind. All of our pet sitters are also background-checked, professionally trained, and certified in pet first aid and CPR.

Question 15

What safety precautions do you have in place?

Accepted Answer

Your pet's safety is our top priority. We conduct thorough Meet & Greets to understand your pet's behavior and needs. All sitters are trained in pet first aid and CPR. We maintain detailed pet profiles with medical information, emergency contacts, and your veterinarian's information. During visits, we follow strict safety protocols including secure leashing, home security checks, and immediate communication if any concerns arise. We also provide GPS-tracked walks and photo updates so you always know your pet is safe and cared for.

Question 16

Can you give my pet medication?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our sitters are trained to administer pills, liquid medications, and even subcutaneous fluids for senior pets. We're experienced with diabetic pets, pets with anxiety, and those requiring special diets. We'll discuss your pet's medication routine during the meet-and-greet to ensure we're comfortable with their specific needs.
