When Your Pet Is In The Wedding Party

by Leave a Comment

June is known for weddings. And with the return of more normal activities, we know that many people will be getting married, attending weddings, or heading off to delayed honeymoons.

That means your floofin might need pet care services or even require a handy Floofins & Co. specialist to help your pet take part in the ceremony. 

If you want to include your pet in your ceremony, contact us. We love helping you get your pet to the venue; walk them down the aisle; or even assist your pet in their ring bearing role. Having a specialist on hand can take one more worry off your list. You can relax while Floofins & Co. holds the leash.  [Read more…] about When Your Pet Is In The Wedding Party

by Leave a Comment

Did you know March 7th through the 13th is the week dedicated to professional pet sitters?

Finding just the right person to take care of your pet isn’t a choice any pet parent takes lightly. When you find the right pet sitter, you do a happy dance because you know that your floofin is in good hands.

History

Professional Pet Sitters Week was first introduced in 1995 by Pet Sitters International (PSI). The week is observed, according to PSI’s website  to honor

“professional pet-care providers, seeks to educate the pet-owning public about the advantages of professional in-home pet care and encourages pet-loving entrepreneurs to explore professional pet sitting as a viable career.” [Read more…] about Let’s Celebrate Professional Pet Sitters Week

January is Walk Your Dog Month. And what better time to get a routine in place that will bring both health and wellness to you and your furry friend?

There are a lot of really good reasons to get out of the house in January. If you’ve made a resolution to be healthier, movement and exercise (no matter the weather conditions), will be paramount. And once you have established a routine, it becomes easier to keep going as the weather improves.

New Services, New Adventures

by Leave a Comment

Everyone is looking for ways to manage life as we are currently experiencing it. Floofins & Co. has options to make things a bit more exciting.

In our expanded lineup, we have added adventure and education for you and your floofins. Let’s talk about adventure first.

Adventure Walks

We are all craving connection. That includes your floofin. Now, you can set up an adventure walk. What does that mean? It means that Floofins & Co. will come to your home, grab your floofin, take them to the site of the adventure, walk them, and then return your tired floofin to your home. It’s 45 minutes of exercise with some friendly floofins companions.

Maybe your floofin isn’t excited about sharing the limelight and just needs the adventure without the pack. Does that mean they can’t participate? Nope. We have a solo adventure walk for just your floofin or just the floofins in your household. So everyone has an opportunity to get out and connect with nature and their floofins pet care specialist.

Adaptability and New Normals

by Leave a Comment

Flexibility is a great attribute, but during the Coronavirus pandemic it is a necessity. Floofins & Co. prides ourselves on being adaptable and available to our clients. After a week of digesting everything happening around us, and as we attempt to do our part and remain within the parameters of the Governor’s Shelter-In-Place order, we want to outline some of the changes that we will begin implementing immediately.

New Client Consultations On Video

We are now offering video new client consultations. While our preference is to meet in your home so we can thoroughly explain our services, note specific locations of items, and get to introduce ourselves in person to your floofin, we understand that this may not be possible in today’s circumstances. Therefore, video consultations are now an option. You will still meet with a member of our administrative team and your primary pet care specialist.

Referral Program Bonus For Essential Workers

We have always offered a $25 service credit to our existing clients that send us referrals that become part of the Floofins Family. If you know someone who is an essential worker that needs assistance with pet care services, please refer them. Not only does this help keep our staff working, it also keeps those essential employees able to go to work (and often work extra long hours) without worry about their pets. Due to the current circumstances will be adding an additional $25 credit to the new client and are waiving our 3 month minimum for ongoing schedule pricing as a gesture of thanks and gratitude for their work during this time.

Answering Some Of Your Questions

We know that our staff and your pets form a unique bond during their time together. And many people are wondering what will happen to their pet care specialist as more people are at home and are not using our services. Some of you have asked how you can help.

  • Keep an eye on our social media. We will be communicating quite a bit via social media during this time. Like, comment, and share our social media posts. Hopefully they will be a beacon of positivity in the chaos of the news.
  • Online Reviews. Got a little extra time on your hands due to missing out on your regular commute? Take a few minutes and write a review on your favorite review site… or tag them all! Yelp. Facebook. Nextdoor. Angie’s List or on Google.
  • Gift Certificates. Some clients have asked if they can purchase gift certificates/credits for future services. Or, some have asked if they could purchase a gift certificate and gift services to an essential worker they know that is now experiencing challenges keeping up with their pet while taking on their new workload. We do sell gift certificates! If you are interested in purchasing a gift certificate or gifting someone, please drop us a line at info@floofinsandco.com and we will set you up.
  • Regular Payments and Gratuities. We would never expect clients to pay for a service they are not receiving, however some clients have insisted on paying for their regular services at this time. Others have made a one-time voluntary tip payment, noting which pet care specialist(s) they are gifting, both of which are very generous. Please note these types of payments will go to your pet care specialist on their regular payroll meaning pet care specialists will be paid as if they performed the service for any service payments. 100% of gratuities always go directly to your pet care specialist.

We will keep you abreast of any additional happenings. We miss seeing our floofins and look forward to when we can get back to doing what we do best.
