Paying is easy with Tikkie

Prefer a bank transfer? That works too — details on your invoice.

Policies

The small print, in plain language

Booking & deposits

  • A booking is confirmed once we've replied in writing and, for peak dates, the deposit is paid.
  • New clients: a meet & greet before the first booking is required.

Cancellations

  • Standard dates: free cancellation up to [48] hours before the first visit.
  • Peak dates: the deposit is non-refundable within [14] days of the start.

Keys & access

  • Keys are collected at the meet & greet, labelled with a code only (never your address) and returned on your last visit or kept on file for regulars.

Medical care

  • We follow your vet's written instructions exactly. Please leave medication, supplies and the dosing schedule out and labelled.
  • You authorise us to seek veterinary care in an emergency; vet costs are yours.

Emergencies & vet

  • Your pet care form lists your vet and an emergency contact. We'll call you first, your vet second.
  • Both sitters are American Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid / CPR trained.

Your home

  • We leave your home as we found it. Overnight stays: no guests, no smoking, no parties — ever.
  • Please tell us about anyone else who has a key or may stop by while you're away.
