Services & Rates

We begin the process of arranging care for your pet by setting up a free consultation so we can meet you and your pet(s).

Prior to this consultation (if you have website access and a printer), you can download and print the appropriate forms that fit your needs. This will help you get a jumpstart on the process so we can focus on getting to know you and your pet(s). These forms are located on the "Download Booking Forms" page.

This consultation will provide an opportunity for us to get acquainted and get all the instructions needed for the care of your pet(s) while you are away.

If you decide to book our services, we will also pick up 2 sets of keys to your home or apartment at this time (the additional set is requested in the event it becomes necessary to provide a substitute sitter in the event of an unforeseen emergency).

*We require a minimum ONE daily visit for cats and THREE visits per day for dogs
(we will not service cats less frequently than once daily, or dogs less frequently than three times a day).

We are very sensitive to the needs of our clients who need midday walks for their dogs when their schedule doesn't permit them to do this. This service ensures that your dog will get the exercise it needs with lots of love.

Even if you are not leaving home, there may be instances where we can be of service. Unusual working hours, or lengthy illnesses may make it difficult to properly care for and exercise your pet. Please call to discuss how we may help.

Daily Dog Walks:
(20-25 minute walk)

(in households with multiple dogs that can be walked
together, add $3 for each additional dog per walk)
