CONSULTATION:
An in-home consultation is conducted for all new clients before the start of service. This consult allows Shannon’s Pet-Sitting to become familiar with you and your pet(s) as well as set up your customized services. All the pet sitters who could be involved in your pet’s care are present at the consultation.
A consultation fee is required at the time of the consultation. If a pet care contract is completed and services are scheduled within 90 days of the consultation, the fee will be credited to your service invoice. Contact us for current rates.

House Key Policy
At Shannon’s Pet-Sitting, they collect a key to your home during the initial consultation to ensure smooth and uninterrupted pet-sitting services. Even if you use keyless entry methods, they request a physical key as a backup in case of power outages or battery failures.
For future pet-sitting needs, they recommend allowing us to securely retain your key in our locked key box, ensuring quick and easy scheduling without additional key exchanges.
Key Return Options:
- Left inside the secured home after the final scheduled visit
- Returned via certified mail upon request
For privacy and security, they do not allow in-person key pickups or drop-offs at their personal residence, as they do not operate a storefront.
Additional Information:
- They’re happy to securely hold or make copies of your key to avoid future handling fees.
- All keys are stored safely in a secured key lock box when not in use.
Contact them today if you have questions about their house key policy or to schedule your next pet-sitting visit.
