Pet Sitting Services
Express Visit ( aka “Potty Break” ) – $12
The express visit is a wonderful “fill-in” visit to make sure your pooch is never left alone for more than several hours at a time during the day. This is a great option for a mid-day potty break or last call for the bathroom right before settling down for the night. The express visit consists of our pet care professional taking your dog outside to his “spot” to do his business and fresh water/treat back inside. ( This service must be scheduled 2x per day or in conjunction with additional services. 2 on-leash dogs included – $1 per extra on-leash dog; all pets in fenced enclosures included at no additional charge ).
20 Minute Visit – $17
This length of visit is great for those pups and kitties who need some basic care and an intense burst of attention! With your pooch we will have time for feeding, and a bit of playtime exercise – or with your feline we will take care of the necessities like scooping the litter and refreshing food/water. The rest of the time is always spent providing one-on-one love, attention and play! Our pet sitter professionals will cater the visit to your pet’s needs to ensure a personalized and unique experience. ( 3 dogs, or 4 pets included – $1 per extra pet ).
40 Minute Visit – $21
The perfect amount of time for those little “extras” that make our visits tons of fun for your pets. Once our professional sitter takes care of the basics ( food, water, cleanup, home care, etc ) there will still be a bunch of time for an engaging walk, a game of fetch, or some serious cuddling on the couch! If you are going to be out of town for an extended period of time this length of visit is great to give your pets all the love and attention they crave. ( 3 dogs, or 4 pets included – $1 per extra pet).
1 Hour Visit – $26
The ultimate in visits! When you choose this option we spend a full hour with your pets, which is great for pooches and frisky felines who might need extra exercise or specialized care. Pets with separation anxiety and those with special needs will especially benefit from this extended visit. This one-on-one time can include anything from a visit to your local park, crazy cat play, or just some time to chase squirrels in the backyard. Our goal is a happy, engaged pet who is ready for a nap when our pet care professional heads out! ( 3 dogs, or 4 pets included – $1 per extra pet ).
All – Inclusive Overnight – $70
Sometimes drop-in pet sitting care during the day isn’t quite enough for your furry family member! That is why we offer overnight pet sitting with one of our professional pet sitters staying in your own home. Your pet will have someone to snuggle with all night long! Our overnight visit includes your evening pet care routine ( between 4-7pm ), the overnight visit ( check-in by 9:30 pm ), and your morning pet care routine ( between 6-9 am ). Not only will your pooch or feline stay in his/her home environment surrounded by familiar sights and smells, but your home will also have the added measure of security that an overnight stay provides. Most clients add on an additional mid-day 20 minute visit at the discounted price of $10 when combined with overnight service. ( Up to 3 dogs, or 4 pets included – $2 per extra pet ).
