Rates

​

Our rates are customized for each Client and household.  Below are some typical guidelines. Rates are per visit, not per day. Payment is required in advance unless other arrangements have been made for long term pet care or ongoing services. A booking fee of 50% is required at time of reservation to hold your spot. This nonrefundable fee is applied to your invoice for the specific services requested. 

​

Changing your reservation: Your dates may be revised up to two days (48 hours) before the original start date for drop in visits and dog walks OR up to 10 days before the start date for overnights without forfeiting your booking fee or triggering a cancellation fee.

​

Note that other or additional charges may be incurred for holiday surcharges, key drop-offs, errand time, vet visits, locations outside our primary service area, changed conditions meetings (new pet, house, meds, etc.), and cancellations. As gas prices have spiked to more than double this year, we have recently had to add a $3 gas surcharge (06/2022) Please see below for more details or ask for additional information.

​

• Express Visits are not currently available.* (up to 15 minutes) is just right for a timid kitty or a potty break in your fenced yard for your dog. Treats, fresh water, and TLC. No home care.         * Except for a few grandfathered clients.

 

• Standard Visit (up to 30 minutes) is great for healthy adult dogs and cats. Enough time for a decent walk, thorough scooping, or to administer meds. All standard pet care and home care is included. Rates for new clients is  $25 as of 6/1/2022.

​

• Longer Visit or Extra Nice Walks  (45 minutes/$35) for extra companionship, more exercise, and/or more than two litter boxes. 

 

• Extended Visit (60 minutes/$45) is a full hour pampering your pets with extra TLC and socialization, long walk or playtime, and/or caring for lots of plants, a bird cage or fish tank. Extra pet care and extra home care by request.  

 

• Overnight Stays  include bedtime walk, optional meal, and tuck-in. The overnight stay is a minimum of eight hours, typically 10 pm to 6 am, and includes breakfast and a.m. walk or let-out as needed.  This level of care is a great comfort for your pets and an excellent way to keep your home from appearing vacant while you’re gone. Rates are a la carte and include the basic overnight, and additional visits you want for your pets, typically mid-day and dinner visits. Availability is limited. Rates start at $70.

 

• Almost Overnights is just like our traditional overnight, but without the sleeping at your house part. We provide an evening visit (30 minutes or more) and an early morning visit (also 30 minutes or more). These visits provide meals, walks, let outs, and meds as needed plus companionship.​ Rates are from $50. Additional drop-in visits may be added during the day.

 

• House Sitting is what we do to give you a hand when you escape to sunny, warm places for the winter. We will make regularly scheduled visits to your home to bring in the mail; pick up those pesky free newspapers and fliers left in your driveway; sort and forward mail if desired. We complete a checklist detailing your home's systems and condition then update you, including any relevant photos. Of course we check the thermostat and faucets, adjust lights or put them on timers, water plants, and fill the bird feeders, keeping your home looking lived in as we make sure everything is as it should be. Cat care is available. Rates start at $20 per visit and vary with the scope of your preferences and needs.
