PAYMENT POLICY:
CASH: Cash is the preferred payment.
*Other than personal emergencies, ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE LEFT IN FULL on the first visit. Electronic payments must be sent by the first visit. Additional visits can be added if you are delayed getting home for bad weather or other issues with NO PENALTY. However, payment for emergency bookings must be received within FIVE DAYS of your return or late fees will be applied.
*CHECKS: All checks must be payable to Mark Blanchard or your assigned cat sitter, NOT to CASH! If you are paying for two Cat sitters, please provide SEPARATE checks or cash payments.
*PAYPAL, Bank of America Transfer or Chase Quick Pay: *For PayPal: select "Personal" and click on "Gift" or "Payment Owed." Fees are associated when selecting “Business Payment”. Do not pay via E-Check. Several clients have done this and it’s hard for me to close my books waiting for payments.
If you have Bank of America or Chase accounts I can send you details on how to make direct transfers for FREE!
Electronic payments are also a good way to reconfirm visits because I’ll receive emails when the money is sent.
FAILURE TO PAY: If a client fails to pay, I will finish out my cat sitting obligation for that time period and drop the client.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
The policy allows up to 24 hours before the start of visits to cancel without penalty (48 hours for holiday weekends which are Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.)
Payment is required in FULL at the next cat sit visit, with no exception. Cancellations due to uncontrolled circumstances will be reviewed at time of cancelation.
THE KEY PICK-UP POLICY & FEE: The Key Pick-Up Policy & Fee is equal to one visit. Payment is due the day I pick up the keys.
This fee can be waived if:
*A client meets me somewhere to hand off keys.
*If you leave keys in my mailbox, I can give you my address and how to get there.
*Personal emergencies.
*If you have friends whose cats I am watching in the upcoming days or weeks, you can leave your keys with them free of charge.
