At Buckhead Pet Pals, building trust with our clients is at the heart of everything we do. One of the ways we aim to foster that trust is by being as transparent as possible about how you can reach us and when we will respond. To help set clear expectations, we’re sharing a bit about our office hours, our commitment to communication, and the friendly faces behind our administrative team.
Our Administrative Team
Our dedicated admin team is the backbone of our day-to-day operations. The team is comprised of me (Buckhead Pet Pals’ Founder, Shannon Centola), our exceptional office scheduler, Camila, and our newest addition to the office team, Elizabeth. They work diligently to ensure every question is answered, every concern addressed, and every detail managed.
Camila and Elizabeth are typically your first point of contact. They manage scheduling, coordinate logistics, and keep everything running smoothly. Meanwhile, I am here to oversee overall operations, manage more complex requests, and step in whenever needed to offer support. Together, we’re committed to offering you a seamless experience every time you reach out or schedule services.
Our Office Hours
Our office hours are Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 4 PM. During this time, you can expect timely responses to emails, calls, and other communication. We’ve structured our hours to optimize productivity and ensure we’re available when most scheduling requests are received.
Within this window, we work diligently to answer your inquiries, process requests, and handle any administrative needs you might have.
Scheduling 24/7
One of the perks of working with us, is that you may schedule services via our online scheduling software 24/7. We will approve the appointment or reach out to discuss the care request during business hours, but you don’t have to wait until Monday morning to submit your requests.

Our After-Hours Protocols
We understand that life doesn’t always stick to a predictable schedule. Sometimes, urgent matters arise after business hours, on weekends, and on holidays. While our main office is closed outside of business hours, we monitor emails, voicemails, and other messages for urgent or time-sensitive situations. We primarily keep an eye out for messages related to travel delays that may require us to extend reservations or make last-minute adjustments.
Primarily, we keep an eye out for messages related to travel delays that may require us to extend reservations or make last-minute adjustments. If you experience an emergency or an unforeseen circumstance that truly cannot wait until the next business day, please know that we are doing our best to catch these messages and respond when possible.
That said, it’s important to note that we cannot guarantee immediate replies outside of business hours. Our after-hours monitoring is focused on addressing only those matters that are truly urgent. For everything else, we ask for your patience and understanding.
Working Together
For all non-urgent inquiries, general questions, or routine requests, we encourage you to reach out during our regular office hours. This helps us ensure that your matter receives the attention it deserves and that we can offer you the best possible service. If you happen to contact us outside of hours, rest assured that we will follow up promptly the next business day.
Thank You For Your Cooperation & Support

As always, thank you for being part of our community. If you have any questions about our office hours or how best to reach us, please don’t hesitate to ask.
