During a visit we will do some or all of the following at your
request. There is no extra charge for multiple pets unless it
takes longer than the normal visit time to take care of
everything:
Feed
your pet and provide fresh water.
Walk
your pet around your neighborhood.
Play
or cuddle with your pet in your yard or home.
Clean
up any pet waste as needed.

your pet.

your plants.

Daily Dog
Walking - $14 to $15 per visit -
These are 20 minute visits and can be scheduled anytime Monday
through Friday between 10am and 4pm. 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. 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.
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) $14
to $15 per visit - These visits can be
scheduled anytime Monday through Friday between 10am and 4pm. 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.
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.
Vacation / Out of town service - $16 per
visit - This service is for any type
of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, small pets, and
horses. There is no extra charge for multiple pets. We
come to your house, 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.
By letting your pet stay at home while you are gone you get 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 when you
normally take the dog(s) out.
If the out of town service is for cats the
minimum is 1 visit per day.
Includes daily litter box cleaning.
Overnight stays - Please
contact us for quote -
Overnight stays are for the clients who wish
to pamper their pets while they are on vacation or out of town.
This service is also good for pets who need extra attention or
medical care whether due to recent surgery, continuing illness,
or separation anxiety. (Many pets suffer from separation anxiety
when their owner is gone for long periods of time.) Though we
try to give your pets as much care and love as possible during
our normal 30 minute visits, some pets need more. By having us
stay overnight with your pet this greatly reduces the impact of
you being gone so long. They get lots of extra attention and
play time, making for a happier and healthier pet! Plus, if they
are accustomed to sleeping with someone we don't mind that
either!
Pet Taxi
- $18 and up - We offer round trip and one-way pet taxi
service to the groomer, vet, doggy day care etc... We can either
drop off your pet, or stay with them. If you would like us to

so at our standard rate of $32/hour, pro-rated to the nearest
quarter-hour increment. You must make arrangements with the
destination personnel and let them know your pet sitter is
dropping your pet off/picking them up. When we are dropping off
or picking up your pet and it takes longer than 10 minutes to
take or release custody of them, there will be an extra charge
at our standard rate. To avoid extra charges please confirm with
your vet/groomer that your pet, medication, paperwork and/or
supplies will be ready when we arrive.

Horse Care -
We are experienced with all types of horses from breeding stock and
show horses to senior citizens and pleasure horses. Most importantly
we are able to recognize and respond early to situations such as
colic, founder and lameness. Our service includes feeding, watering,
cleaning stalls, applying blankets and fly spray. We can also apply
leg bandages, treat wounds and administer medications. If you have
other horse care needs, please give us a call.
