Booked and settling details

What you settle once booked

  • Who's the pet?

    Name, species, breed, size, temperament around crowds — everything a handler asks first.

  • What's the pet's part in the day?

  • When does the attendant's coverage start and end?

  • The handoff schedule

    Who hands the pet to whom, where, and when — arrival for photos, the ceremony moment, and the departure handoff.

  • Comfort plan for the pet

    Heat, noise, and long stretches without a break are the day's real risks for an animal.

  • Is the pet wearing anything?
