Initial Consultation

This consultation is required and is a vital aspect of your critters care. It must be scheduled at least 48 hours before your vacation departure or initial walk visit. During this “get acquainted” meeting I will familiarize myself with your critters and discuss important information such as emergency contacts, vet preferences, where your pet items are located, and medicine schedule (if applicable). We will also discuss the pet-sit contract, household duties, and entry procedures for your home. There is no fee for this consult and it takes about 45 minutes.

Key Pick-Up
This $5 fee only applies if a key or other arrangements to enter your home at the time of consultation have not been made.

Single Visit

Whether you’re on vacation or just a long day at the office this type of visit is the ticket! (If on vacation I suggest at least 2 visits per day, but cats and exotic critters may get by with just one visit a day.) 

Each visit lasts 45 minutes and includes:

  • Fresh food and water
  • Walk and play time
  • Scoop litter or clean cage
  • Give medications (if needed)
  • Bring in mail

Practically anything that you need done to your critter or house may be requested!

$15 for up to 4 critters
Add $1 for each additional critter

Optional Services
Add a thorough coat brushing and nail trim for $5
Add a Critter bath for $15 (Owner provides supplies)

Unexpected Charges
Occasionally, we all forget an item when getting ready for a trip. If you run out of food, litter, medications, or some other important item. Don’t worry! I will be happy to purchase the supplies you need. There will be a $10.00 fee, plus the cost of the item.

Holiday Fee
A $5 additional fee will be added per day for the following holidays: Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Thanksgiving, New Years Day, 4th of July and Easter.

Overnight Critter Care

I will stay in your home from 11pm- 6am giving your critter plenty of love and affection. Everything that is included in a single visit (i.e. bringing in mail, etc.) is included in this visit. Over-nights are not available on major holidays.

$45 (no extra charge for multiple pets)
