The "Scoop" from Becky

Big thanks to all of our awesome Pet Care Professionals for the great jobs you did over the holidays! You all went over and above to make sure the pets in your care were seen during the snowstorm the weekend before Christmas. You all did over 300 visits on Christmas Day alone! You guys ROCK! We have received so many phone calls and emails about the fabulous service provided! Thanks to all of you for the great jobs that you do!

Stay warm and safe out there. When is the January thaw coming?!?

"News You Can Use".....From HR

Please check off your visits by 10 AM. It is extremely important that everyone does this so that we know all pets are cared for. Theresa spends a lot of time each day calling staff who have not checked off their visits. Please help her out and remember to check off yours!

Make sure that you call management if you cannot make a visit! If you have an emergency or any other problem, you must let someone know about it. Leaving a message does not suffice. You must speak directly with a member of the management team so that no pet goes without care. Failure to follow this policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Make sure you are prepared for all visits ahead of time. This includes having keys or entry instructions, updated pet and home care instructions, notepads, and anything else that you need to provide a quality pet care visit. Your preparedness will help you be a better Pet Care Professional!

Make your confirmation calls for upcoming pet sitting services promptly!

Also, if you have not picked up your company jacket please see Johna.

Keep up the great work! Becky's Pet Care has the best pet care staff ever!
