We do carry many items & tools of the trade with us, in case of emergency and will use at no charge, but since we can not be sure we will have what we need to do the job you have asked us to do, we ask that you provide all the tools and products necessary. ***** PLEASE NOTE: We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, at anytime, for any reason. For example - if a pet sitter feels unsafe (e.g. aggressive pet, home is not clean, premises are not secure, etc.), an animal (or client) has a communicable disease, a history of violence or other extreme behavioral issues, etc. - services will be refused. ****** Thank you very much for taking the time to read through all of this.
