Drop In Visit (20-60 Minutes)

You may also choose more than one drop in visit per day to meet your dog's needs.

Pet Sitting FAQs
Q: Do I have to bring my pet to you, or does my pet sitter keep the dog at their house?
A: My Curious Canine offers in-home pet sitting services in your home and boarding services in Knoxville, TN.
Q: How do I know who will be watching my pet?
A: If this is your first time booking pet sitting or dog walking services with My Curious Canine, choose the option for a Pet Sitting Meet & Greet when you book your appointment. You will get to meet your pet sitter or dog walker in person. All pet sitters and dog walkers have their backgrounds checked before they are hired with My Curious Canine.
Q: How do I let the trainer/pet sitter into my house?
A: There will be a meeting where you can give your pet sitter any keys or alarm codes they will need before they begin the job.
Q: What is the difference between full time care and part time care?
A: With full time care, our pet sitter will be spending the night at your home with your pet in addition to caring for them during the day. With part time care, the sitter doesn't necessarily need to stay the night unless you request it specifically. Often our clients choose part time care over the course of 12 hours starting in the evening and ending the next morning.
Q: Does 12 or 24 hour care guarantee that my sitter will stay with my pet for every part of that span of time?
A: No. While full time care does guarantee that our sitter will be staying overnight at your house, our pet sitters reserve the right to pop in and out as needed (i.e. to pick up food, run to the store, etc.), but if you have any special requests or needs for your pet, feel free to voice them ahead of time and we will do our best to accomodate them.
Q: Do you only offer pet sitting services for dogs?
A: No. While our pet sitting services are not limited to dogs, our dog walking services are.
Q: Do you offer pet sitting services for cats?
A: Yes. The only difference from dog sitting is the leashed walk. We do not walk cats on leashes. Your cat will, however, have the opportunity to play with puzzle toys and/or brain games.
Q: What is your cancelation policy?
A: In order to best serve your needs, the strict cancellation policy is as follows
- DOG WALKS are subject to a 24 Hour cancellation period to receive a refund or walking credits, unless scheduled during holiday dates.
- If you cancel DROP IN VISITS more than 3 days in advance, other than holidays, there is no cancellation charge. Within 3 days is subject to a 50% fee
- If you cancel PART TIME CARE a week before the first day of your scheduled service period you will incur a fee of 30% of the total service. Canceling less than a week before your service will result in a 50% fee. Within 24 hours there will no refund
- Full TIME CARE: Due to the exclusive nature of full time bookings, our pet sitters must decline all requests for full time care that coincide with the dates you have booked. Therefore, we charge a 30% cancellation fee, if the job is cancelled 2 weeks prior to the job start. One week of notice will result in a 50% fee. Less than a weeks notice will result in a 75% fee and less than 3 days will result in no refund.
- Holiday Cancellations: Please understand we are very busy for all holiday services and have to turn down some people and if visits are canceled in the last few days prior to service, we can’t fill those spots. Any cancellation within 2 weekS prior to the first scheduled visit, will be charged a 50% charge and within a week there will be no refund.
