filling in your client portal


Now that you have your account set up, it’s time to add in details about your pet. The more information you can provide, the better. Let us know if your pet has any medical conditions we need to be aware of, dietary restrictions, allergies, handling preferences, or any other special needs. If your pet is on any medications we are responsible for giving, let us know the medication, the dosage, and where you keep the medication.

Even if you think we might not consider something important, throw it in anyway! The more you can tell us about your pet, the better. Tell us their favorite toys or activities, if they are allowed treats, if they like to be handled or if they prefer to be left alone; if you’ve noticed they have a favorite song… add that too! This will help us provide the best care and most comfortable environment for your pet. Many exotics are very sensitive to change, so a comfortable environment means no stress for them… and in turn, no stress for you!


Don’t forget to include how you want us to access your home. If you have a key-coded lock, leave us the code in your Client Portal. If you want us to go through the back door, add it to your profile!


After filling in your profile, spend some time clicking through the tabs and learning how to navigate through all the options. You’ll be a pro at using your Client Portal in no time!
