Pet Sitting is a
great alternative to boarding your animals, or imposing on
friends and neighbors to take care of your pets when you
can’t be there. Plus, we don't change by the pet, just by
our time.
Does your dog need a potty break or walk while you’re at
work all day? Perhaps you need to go somewhere after work,
and it will be just too long of a day for your pet to be
alone. Do you have a new puppy who needs extra care and
attention throughout the day? Do you have a pet that
requires medication, or perhaps needs post-surgery care?
Whether you’re away for the day or evening, or out of town
on vacation or business, pet sitting can be a great help to
you and your pets. In addition to dogs and cats, I love to
take care of caged critters, birds, horses and small farm
animals. During a visit we will do some or all of the
following as requested or needed:
 Leave
a detailed note on each visit.
Feed
your pet and provide fresh water.
Walk/Exercise
your pet around your neighborhood.
Litter
box cleaning for cats
We
will reinforce any training you are
working on using the same techniques you
do.
Check
for pet accidents & clean the pet areas
of your home.
Perform
a safety check of the house. Was the
stove left on?
Play
or cuddle with your pet in your yard or
home.
Clean
up any pet waste as needed.
Fill
Kong or other treat toys.
Brush
your pet.
Water
your plants.
Bring
in your mail and/or newspaper.
Take
out the garbage.
Adjust
the lights, window treatments, or any
other crime deterrent measures
requested.

any needed medications.
Perform
any other miscellaneous requests.

Pet sitting
allows your pet to be in the comfort of its own home, with
less stress and exposure to other animals. You can have
peace of mind while you’re away, knowing that your animal
and home will be well looked after. Best of all, your pet
will be waiting for you with joy when you return home!
The following is
a list of what typically takes place during various types of
services:
Daily Dog
Walking - $15 and up - These are 20 minutes
($16), 30 minutes ($18), 45 minutes ($24) or 60 minutes
($30). 20 minute visits and can be scheduled anytime Monday through
Friday between 10am and 3pm.
We come to your
house, check for any pet related accidents, and clean up if
needed. We take them outside for a potty break and exercise
walk. We check and fill their water and give them food or a
treat (if requested). We then play with them giving lots of
personal attention. If you are working on training, we will
reinforce that training using the same techniques and words
you do. Other things that may be done during a visit are
bringing in the mail/packages, administering medication, or
any other miscellaneous requests. We leave a detailed note
on each visit.
Using our Daily
Dog Walking service gives you peace of mind that your best
friend gets the exercise and attention he needs every day.
Scheduling afternoon visits on a regular basis helps to
break up the monotony of a long day alone for your dog. He
doesn't have to wait the whole day by himself for you to get
home. A mid-day visit lets him look forward to play time,
daily exercise, and a potty break. Having a pet is a full
time job in itself and with your busy schedule you may not
be able to provide all the care he requires to be a happy
and healthy companion. You will come home to a more relaxed
and content pet. Plus, you don't need to rush home right
away after work or on your lunch break to make sure Fido
gets out. You are free to stop on the way home from work do
some shopping or run a errand.
Puppy Care -
(Same rate as daily dog walking) $15 and up - These are
20 minutes ($15-16), 30 minutes ($18), 45 minutes ($24) or
60 minutes ($30) visits and can be scheduled anytime Monday
through Friday between 10am and 3pm.
Puppies need to
be let out more often then an adult dog. If left alone too
long they may relieve themselves in your home or their crate
which makes house breaking them much more difficult. They
are also more prone to suffer from separation anxiety. This
can encourage bad attention getting behavior like excessive
barking/whining, jumping on you, and "marking their
territory" inside your house. Once they learn to do these
things it is very hard to correct them. Employing our Puppy
Care service can help you avoid these common issues.
We come to your
house, check for any pet related accidents, and clean up if
needed. We will take them outside for exercise and a potty
break. During the visit we will use the same training
command words and techniques you use. Each day we will do a
short 1 on 1 training session to reinforce the training you
are currently working on with your puppy. We will reward his
good behavior with praise and treats or a special toy. We
give fresh water and food as requested and then give them
lots of play time and personal attention. Other things that
may be done during a visit are bringing in the
mail/packages, administering medication, or any other
miscellaneous requests. We leave a detailed note on each
visit.
Vacation / Out
of town service - $18 and up - These are 30 minutes
($18), 45 minutes ($24), or 60 minutes ($30) visits, you can
also mix and match visit lengths (ex. on Monday do a 30
minute visit in the AM and a 60 minute visit in the
afternoon for extra exercise, and a 45 minute visit in the
evening for feeding). This service is for all types of pets,
including dogs, cats, birds, fish, small pets, and exotics.
There is no extra charge for multiple pets. We come
to your home, feed, water, and exercise your pet(s). We do a
safety check of the house and look for any pet related
accidents, cleaning up if needed. We bring in the mail and
paper, water plants, and adjust house lighting to give it a
"lived in" look. If your pets are on medication we will
administer those at the times needed. We leave a detailed
note on each visit.
By letting your
pet stay at home while you are gone you are going to have a
happier, healthier pet. Your pets avoid the stress of
kennels: constant noise of other animals, cramped cages,
possibly fearful car ride, and communicable diseases. Your
pet gets personalized attention while staying in their own
natural environment. You also save time and money. You don't
have to drive to or from the kennel. With one pet the price
is comparable to a kennel stay. With multiple pets you
actually save money and have a happier pet that doesn't have
to be separated from his furry siblings.
If the out
of town service is for dogs then the minimum number of
visits is 3 per day. The average is 3-4 visits per
day and depends on what you feel is appropriate for your
pets.
If the out
of town service is for cats the minimum is 1 visit per day.
Includes daily litter box cleaning.
