| Ask Aly: Frequently Asked Questions |
|
Can my pets stay with you at your house while I’m away?
- I wish they could but the City of Atlanta says that’s illegal because my home isn’t zoned for kenneling.
Are you bonded?
- Bonds usually require that a person be convicted of the crime before the bonding company would make a payment to a customer. I’m insured through Pet Sitter’s Associates with a plan that includes a special personal property endorsement, which provides broader coverage and includes losses such as breakage, destruction, mysterious disappearance and loss caused by theft from the customer’s premises. If you’d like more information, visit PSA’s website: www.petsitllc.com
What are the advantages of hiring a pet sitter?
- There are so many! Here are a few: Your pets stay in their own space and thus avoid the stress of dealing with new surroundings, people and other animals.
- Also by remaining at home, your pets are less likely to contract any communicable conditions such as kennel cough, stomach viruses, or even fleas, and you can be certain that they are not subject to aggressive and/or dominant behavior by other pets.
- Plus, your home is made more secure by regular visits of a pet sitter and the presence of your pets while you are away.
- In addition to caring for your pets and the security of your home, pet sitters can also water your plants, bring in your mail, and keep your outdoor feathered friends fed by filling bird feeders.
- And, perhaps best of all, your pets are right there waiting for you when you return—even if it’s the middle of the night!
My dog loves to go to the dog park. Will you take her there while I’m gone?
- My insurance dictates that I always keep dogs on leash for their safety. But I will take your dog for a walk on a leash for some exercise or out in the fenced backyard for some fun one-on-one playtime.
My pet needs to go to the vet but I can’t take off work to take him there. Can you take him?
- Sure can! I provide pet taxi services at $20/hour, 1 hour minimum.
My plane is running late or I’m scheduled to return after my boarding facility closes and I really want my pets to be at home when I get there. Can you pick them up for me?
- Sure can! First, you’d have to make sure your boarding facility will allow me to pick up your animals. Then you should arrange payment with them, make sure I have your key, and notify me when this need arises. Pet taxi rates apply. I may not always be available last-minute, so the sooner you know you’ll need this service and schedule it, the better!
What kinds of payment do you accept?
- Currently I accept cash, money orders, and checks. Please make checks payable to Aly Windsor.
What happens in the event of extreme weather?
- Rest assured, I have a four wheel drive vehicle that will get me to your house in wind, rain, sleet, or snow.
Do you have back-up sitters if you get sick?
- Yes! My partner assists me and is available to fill in for me if necessary. In the event that we are both unavailable, I would notify you immediately to allow for you to make other arrangements, as well as assist you with referrals.

How far in advance should I schedule services?
- Please email or call to schedule your services as soon as you know you need them. I book as many months out as my clients allow me. While I try to be as accommodating as possible for last minute requests, my schedule fills up sometimes several weeks in advance. Also when clients book early, it helps me know best when to schedule my own trips and appointments.
Okay, I’m ready to hire you. What happens next?
- Just send me an email or give me a call and we’ll set up a free consultation!
