Frequently asked questions

We're here to help you and your dog. Find quick answers to your questions.

Dog owners

How can I tell if a caregiver is trustworthy?

Your dog is in good hands with Terque. We run a thorough verification process for our caregivers: identity check, location confirmation, criminal record check, review of corrective measures and legal proceedings. We also visit their home and confirm they have suitable space.

What should I do if my dog has a problem during the stay?

If anything happens with the caregiver or your dog during the service, report it as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours, to soporte@spidersecurity.co, with photos or veterinary records if you have them. Our support line is +57 310 298 23 63. During the service your dog is backed by the SURA policy, under its terms.

What does the SURA policy cover for Terque users?

During the service, and when the caregiver or Terque is liable, the civil liability policy covers:

  • If the dog gets lost, has an accident or should pass away.
  • Damage the dog causes to other people or their property.
  • Initial emergency veterinary care after an accident, up to COP 2,000,000 per event, if the dog is seen within 48 hours.

Subject to the policy's limits and deductibles. It does not cover illness or anything outside the booked service.

Can I meet the caregiver and the home beforehand?

Yes. Arrange the date and time of the visit with the caregiver in advance.

Where do you operate?

In Medellín, its metropolitan area, eastern Antioquia and other cities in Colombia. Use the search to see stays in your city or town.

Do you offer boarding for cats?

Not at the moment.

How much does it cost?

On Terque you'll find stays from COP 25,000 for 12 hours and from COP 50,000 per day (24 hours), per dog. The final price depends on the home you choose and on drop-off and pick-up times.

Our service is personal: at most 2 dogs per home, and your dog is backed by the SURA policy while with us.
