Questions
Good to know before you book
What happens at a meet & greet?+
About half an hour, at your home. Jo meets you and your pet, you ask whatever you like, and you both decide afterwards. There is no commitment and no charge.
Are you insured and DBS checked?+
Yes, PawMates is fully insured and Jo is DBS checked. Certificates are available to see at your meet & greet.
Will I hear from you while I'm away?+
You get photo updates on every visit, so you can see how they got on rather than wondering.
How do I book?+
