Services and Rates

An initial consultation prior to any scheduled appointments is required so we can meet you and your pets, and learn their routines. This consultation is free and takes 20- 30 minutes.

This quick visit is perfect for the pet who may need a quick potty break during the day, such as a senior dog or puppy going through house-training.
Standard Visit (30 minutes) $18.00
Our most popular visit can include feeding, freshening water, medicating, cleaning litter boxes, playtime and affection for your cats and an approximate 20-minute walk or playtime either inside the house or in your yard for your dogs.

Similar to our Standard visit, the additional time is beneficial to families whose dog may need more exercise or the multi-pet family whose dogs and cats may need individualized attention.

Bonus Services

Transport for your pup to the vet, groomer, daycare or kennel, etc. Dogs will be secured by doggie seat belt and backseat hammock, or you can provide a carrier for your smaller dog. Please provide a carrier for your cat or small animal.

Doggie Playdate or Outing (approximately 2-4 hours) $25.00 for first dog (dog siblings are $15.00)
Either a trip to a dog park for some safe off-leash time, or a visit to my house for a playdate with my dogs in my large, fenced-in yard. Pick-up and drop-off for your dog is included in price. We will organize a meeting between the dogs before-hand to ensure there are no personality conflicts.

Doggie Daycare (5-10 hours) $30.00 for first dog (dog siblings are $20.00)
A full day of playtime and care for your dog in my home and with my dogs as playmates. Shuttle service for your dog is not included. We will organize a meeting between the dogs before-hand to ensure there are no personality conflicts.

Boarding $35.00 per 24-hour period (dog siblings are $20.00)
additional boarding time will be pro-rated in 6 hour increments
We offer limited boarding space for dogs, provided they are compatible with other dogs and cats, and able to be left alone (crated or not) for a few hours each day; boarding is in our family home where your dog will be allowed to relax with humans and other pets just as if they were home with you! A 3-4 hour trial ($10.00) will be required to ensure your dog’s appropriateness for this environment.

Bath while Boarding $20.00
We will bathe your dog in our home during their stay with us – all bath essentials will be provided by us, however, if your dog needs something special (eg., prescription shampoo) please bring it with your dog at drop-off.

Extras
Welcome Home Service $15.00 fee plus cost of groceries (up to 5 items)
We offer the convenience of having a few grocery staples (milk, bread, fruits) waiting for you when you return home from your trip. For a small one-time fee plus the cost of your desired groceries (limited to 5 items), we will deliver these on our last scheduled visit of your reservation. We also offer this service to our Boarding clients and will have the goods waiting for pick-up when your pet checks out.

Pet Goods Delivery
$15.00 fee plus cost of goods if delivery coincides with home visits
$20.00 fee plus cost of goods if independent of scheduled home visits
We are happy to purchase and deliver your pet’s food, litter, treats, medication, etc.

Attendant Service $20.00 and up
For the client who may have long working hours outside of the home, arranging your schedule around other companies that are only open during mainstream working hours can be difficult. We offer this service to assist when you may need a warm body to be in your home to wait for utility workers, repairmen, etc.

Home Security Visits $15.00 per visit
We understand that sometimes you go on vacation with your pets, or that your pets are boarded elsewhere while you are out of town. Unfortunately, houses that appear vacant or without activity are vulnerable, so we offer this service in order to pick up your mail, alternate lights, bring trash to the curb, and generally ensure your home is safe and that nothing is malfunctioning (gas leaks, burst water pipes, etc.) while you are away.
