We would like to announce that we are not currently accepting new clients until further notice. We did not take this decision lightly. However, we feel that we have enough of a workload and we do not want to sacrifice quality for quantity. We want to take this time to focus on the clients that we already have and give them the best possible service which we feel would be compromised if we continue taking clients on currently. If you are still interested in our services possibly in the future, feel free to still reach out and we can place you on our waiting list if a spot should open up.

Thanks,

Tom & Desiree's Pet Sitting 🐾
