Complimentary Initial Consultation (approximately 45 minutes)
Your peace of mind and your pet's care and safety are our biggest concerns, so let's get acquainted and make sure we're a match. We will discuss your pet's unique needs and specific care, discuss all home care during your absence, show you our credentials, and answer questions you may have about us. This is an important time for your pets to hear our voices and smell our scents to let them know we're friendly, and mom or dad approved. We will also go over detailed paperwork so your pertinent pet and home information is at our fingertips.
- Full payment is due at the time of the initial consultation so we can reserve our time for your pets.
- We ask for two sets of keys at the time of the initial consultation, so you can avoid a key pick-up fee.
- Additional consultations are billed in half hour increments at $25 per half hour.

Daily pet sits in your home, apartment, or senior living communities
Visits include lots of love and attention, cleaning water and food dishes and providing fresh water and food, play time and exercise, cleaning litter boxes and dog waste, medications if needed, and talking to your pets. We will also make sure nothing is left on your porch, alternate lighting and drapes, collect the mail and newspaper, take care of trash and recycling bins, and do some light watering.

Pet sitting rates per visit, for up to 3 pets start at:
30 minutes: $25
$3.00 for each additional pet.
$5.00 per pet, per visit for shots, pills or administering ointments or drops.
- Some locations may be serviced at a slightly higher rate.
- Full payment is due by the first day of each pet sitting session.
- An additional fee may be applied for visits that run long due to extra clean-up or care, ill and incontinent pets, or lonely and stressed animals who may need extra time and attention.

Other Family Pets (fish, chickens, turtles, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, for example)
$25 per 30 minute visit for up to 3 pets if these are your only pets.
- If we are already visiting your home for your dogs and cats, there may not be additional charges for simply feeding these other pets. It all depends on the extent of the needed care.
