SERVICES
& RATES
This is a required visit so we can get to know you and your pet(s), including specific care instructions, personality traits, and discuss the visit schedule. This is also where you'll show me where everything I'll need is in the home and how to get in, as well as give me the keys. Typically, this meeting lasts about 45 minutes to an hour, and is time well spent, as it gives both you and your pet the opportunity to make sure you are comfortable and confident with me and my services.
Meet & Greet:
30-60 minutes and are free of charge
All-inclusive drop-in pet sitting visits
consist of:
Feeding per instructions Refreshing all water bowls Giving meds, as needed A nice walk for your pup A good game of “catch the laser dot” or wand play for your kitty Petting, cuddling, hugging, and tummy rubs, etc!, Cleaning up any pet messes Scooping litter box and adding or changing cat litter, as needed Feeding the fish Cleaning small critter cages Mail, newspaper, and package collection Watering indoor plants Taking garbage & recycling bins to the curb and back on garbage day Light and blind rotation Overall security check of the home Daily videos or pictures of your pets can be sent via text to your phone. Any special requests not included on this list. ************** *All inclusive means what it suggests: I don't have interest in nickel and diming folks or overly-complicating the process of figuring out how much a visit costs. **************** Pet Sitting visits are offered in varying increments of time. Based on the number of pets you have, their level of separation anxiety, the amount of daily exercise and playtime they require, choose the amount of time you think will be sufficient or “mix & match” them, creating the most optimized visit schedule for your pet(s)! *Quick visits are for clients with 1 or 2 cats/small critters who are not social and do not require much human interaction. We will take care of feeding, water, and litter box scooping, and bringing in your mail. They do not include medication administration and/or watering plants.
30 minute drop-in visit -- $25
45 minute drop-in visit -- $33
60 minute drop-in visit -- $42
Quick visit for (certain) cats and small critters only** --$22

If you’d like to give your pet that extra mile of care, use our overnight pet sitting service and have us cuddle up and sleep overnight with your pet! I won’t leave your pet’s side throughout the night and will give them the extra TLC they have become accustomed to with you. I typically spend a minimum of 10 consecutive hours with your pet. Arrival time varies, but is typically between 9:00PM and 10:00PM. Overnight pet sitting includes everything from the all-inclusive pet sitting visits. While overnight service does include care for the following morning, it does not include a midday or dinner visit. Those visits must be booked in addition to your overnight visit.
Overnight care
Overnight stays -- $85
Dog Walking: Our daily dog walking service may be just what you need if you work long hours or do not work close to home, if your family has erratic schedules that are difficult to plan around, or if your dog is crated and needing a leg stretch, a potty break, and some backyard play in the middle of the day. Potty Break: Only for families with fenced in backyards. Includes fresh water & treats and, of course, love and belly rubs.
Dog walking and Potty Breaks:
30 minute dog walk -- $25
45 minute dog walk -- $33
60 minute dog walk -- $42
Pet Taxi:
A one way trip within a 5-mile radius of the client’s home.
Includes a potty break.

*Dogs need two visits a day (IF that works for their bladder, health and activity level) but 3 is best and is required if you have more than one dog.
Details, details...
*Feel free to mix it up: have two 45 minute visits a day OR 3-30 minute visits a day OR 2-30 minute visits and a 45 minute visit a day OR a 30 minute visit and a 45 minute visit on one day, then 3-30 minute visits the next day, etc. I'm pretty flexible so long as your pet isn't sad!
*I'm willing to share a sit with one of your family members or a friend so long as they are responsible and conscientious. For example, they can do the midday visit on a sit or what have you
*Thirty minutes goes fast for pets with a lot of anxiety, energy, or those "accustomed to a certain lifestyle"; 45 minute visits might be better especially depending on what is required for the visit.
*I don't charge extra for additional pets.
*For kitty (and other critters') houses: I require one visit per day for just felines and/or other critters but recommend two per day for felines especially if they are very sociable, are in single kitty households, if you normally work from home, and if you'll be gone for more than a few days.
*I don't do every other day visits.
