Want to book pet care services over Christmas, New Year’s or other holiday in Muncie, Yorktown or Anderson, Indiana? Awesome!! We’d love to have you as pet care clients and want you to know our policies regarding holidays and holiday reservations.
For your reference, we do observe these holidays: New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas.
Pet Care Holiday Reservation Policies
While we do have the holiday reservation policies in place, we understand life happens and emergencies are unplanned. For these reasons we do have a little flexibility in the cancellation policies around the holidays.
If you do have a true emergency, a health-related or weather-related issue and your trip is cancelled, please let us know immediately. Call us at 765-744-5688 to let us know what’s going on. We’ll work with you the best we can in the event of a holiday reservation or cancellation.
Get Your Holiday Reservations in Two Weeks Before the Holiday if Possible
Current clients can fill out the request form here. We’ll confirm your visits via email and will also send you the total you’ll need to mail to us to reserve your visits. Payments may be made via Zelle, Apple Pay and Square or you may drop off at our office.
Payment has to be received in order for holiday reservations to be reserved.
New clients can fill out the request form and we’ll email you back to set up your phone consult.
The phone consult is important because this is where we find out what you need, and you can ask us questions. At the end of that conversation, if all goes well, we’ll set up a Meet and Greet at your home.
Once the Meet and Greet is complete we’ll finish your paperwork, collect two house keys and collect payment. Holiday reservations can’t be started until payment is received.

50% refund if cancelled 8 days or more before the holiday reservation.
NO REFUND for cancellations made 7 days or less before their scheduled holiday reservation.
Holidays are Busy for Pet Care Professionals
Please understand that we have these policies in place because holidays are generally pretty busy for us. Typically, our pet care providers block time out of their own holiday to spend with your pet. Often times they have to allot extra time because of inclement weather, pet issues and traffic.
We want you to be able to rest easy over the holidays while you know your pet is safe, happy and loved.
Last-Minute Holiday Reservations
While we pride ourselves on being able to accommodate short-notice reservations during the holidays it may not be possible. However, if we are able to help you on short-notice we do have a same day request fee of $10 added to your invoice.
Should you need service within 3 days, please call the office at 765-744-5688 to see if we have availability.
Gas fees apply to areas outside of this area in Muncie: east of the bypass/67/35, south of the bypass, north of SR 28 and west of Nebo Rd.
These policies are current as of December 15 and supercedes any pet care reservation policy in the Legal Agreement. An email has been sent to all of our clients regarding these holiday reservation policies.
Thank you,
