RATES
Drop-in visits include:
feeding, tidying, giving meds,
walking or otherwise exercising
your dog and playing with kitties
as well as bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, taking out/bringing in trash cans, filling bird feeders/birdbaths, and keeping an eye on the place more generally, including monitoring
house systems for malfunctions and for the security of the home itself.
30 minute drop-in visit is $27 per visit
45 minute drop-in visit is $35 per visit
Patterns for drop-ins are available (3 visits one day, two visits the next followed by 3 again, etc)
Overnights are $100 for 10 hours (begin between 8-9 p.m. and end between 6-7 a.m.)
*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.
*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.
