Please place booking requests 5-7 days in advance for dog walking and pet care services, and by the first of each month for overnight care.

Booking Fees

Last-minute requests within, the 24-48 hours of the initially requested service date, require an immediate response time from PetPals and the pet sitter. A booking fee will be applied for last-minute requests to compensate booking and processing fees. We encourage templates be set up for recurring services.

24hr requests - $15

48hr request - $7

Re-occurring Templates

Re-occurring templates are ideal for regular weekly and monthly for drop-in care and dog walking services.

Templates are automated based around your weekly and monthly scheduling needs. Re-occurring walking templates are a great way to ensure your animal is getting routine physical exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization. Customize templates to rotate weekly or biweekly and can be paused or have set dates. This is ideal for clients seeking routinely scheduled care for their pets without having to submit individual services.

Booking Timeline

Up-to 3 Months in Advance

Services that have been approved by Pals are then approved on the schedule up to three months in advance. Service requests exceeding three months out will be added to a waitlist. Requests within the three-month booking period that have yet to be approved will remain pending until we can find coverage or introduce a new Pal to provide coverage.

Nothing gets approved on the schedule until a Pal has confirmed coverage. Additional meetings with Pals may be required at certain times to provide additional support and in case of an emergency. We do our best to pair you with our Pals based on availability, proximity, as well as ability. Pals may deny or approve services at any time. Therefore, more is better but not always necessary.
