Meet Kim

I have loved animals my whole life, and when I retired I started the kind of pet care I would want for my own crew. I share my home with Frankie, Cleo and Bella, and I would love to meet yours.

When you book with Salt & Sand Paws, the person you meet is the person who comes. Every visit, that's me.

Frequently asked questions

Is a meet and greet required?

Yes, and it is complimentary. Before any booking, I meet you and your pet to go through the routine, feeding, allergies, training, medication, play, walks and favourite activities, plus home access, emergency contacts, your veterinarian's information and the paperwork. Booking follows once everyone is comfortable.

What is the cancellation policy?

Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel a walk or drop-in visit. With less notice, the charge is 50% of that service. For overnight and vacation care, please give at least seven days' notice. With less notice, the charge is 50% of the booking total.

Which payment methods are accepted, and when is payment due?

I accept Interac e-Transfer and cash. For overnight or vacation care of three nights or more, a 50% deposit reserves your dates. It goes toward your total, and the balance is due before care begins. Cancel at least seven days ahead and I'll refund your deposit. If you cancel later, the deposit covers the cancellation charge.

Is there a holiday surcharge?

Yes. A $10 per day surcharge applies on statutory holidays.

What happens in an emergency?

Your emergency contacts and your veterinarian's information are gathered at the meet and greet before any booking, so I know exactly who to call and where to go if something comes up.

Ready when you and your pet are

Send a request with your dates and your pet's routine, and I will reply to arrange a complimentary meet and greet before any booking.
