Dealing with pets

We love them, but sometimes as strangers, pets can not be the friendliest little furballs. So at any time, if you feel uncomfortable with a pet, please exit the home and call the office. We try to do a really good job of putting notes in the job info if the client does have a pet so you know what to expect but at any time if the pet is left loose or if you’re not comfortable, please call the office and we will call the client to address this.

We never want you to feel uncomfortable or threatened by a pet that may be left in the home. Sometimes, clients may say “Oh, you know. They’re so sweet. We’re just going to leave them loose”, but what the client sometimes doesn’t understand is that we are a stranger to their pet and as a pet, they’re doing their job to protect that home.

We want you to be safe and feel safe so please, if at any time you’re uncomfortable with a pet in the house or if a pet is left loose and you’re not comfortable, please let the office manager know and exit the home immediately until you hear back about what the next steps to take will be.

AS A REMINDER:

• Make sure that doors are closed if there is a pet in the home
  • pets may escape if they are not properly trained
• let the homeowner know if there is a pet that seems angry
  • let the office know if you cannot contact anyone
