What happens if my pet gets sick or injured during a visit?

How will I receive updates about my pet during visits?

After every visit, Karla's Pet Care sends photos and detailed care notes through the Time to Pet portal. Updates can be delivered by email or text based on your preference.

What is your cancellation policy?

48 hours notice is required for non-holiday reservations and 7 days notice for holiday reservations. Cancellations must be submitted by 8:00 PM to avoid fees. Late cancellations result in a charge of 50% of the invoice, and cancellations after services begin are charged at 100%.
