We charge $40 per half hour of care, regardless of species. Minimum hours are established below for animals that
require food or water at least twice a day, as well as social time and exercise. We appreciate requests for service at least two weeks before the start date - but are always happy to fit in last minute bookings so long as we have room on our calendar! Please remember though, even a reservation two weeks ahead of time may not be long enough during busy times of the year (holidays, school breaks, summer vacations, etc.) - so booking as soon as you have plans in place is advised. Please note: a booking is not considered firm until the deposit is received. Our charge for overnight stays is $120 per night. This includes 10-12 hours with your pet, an evening or morning walk for dogs, and care (feeding, playtime, clean up of litter boxes, etc.) for any other animals in your home. Mid-day visits/potty breaks between overnight stays will incur an additional charge.
Cats: Since some cats just need us to check in on them once a day to make sure they're doing ok, change the litterbox,
and provide food and fresh water, and others need snuggles/playtime on top of the basics, services for any particular family
will depend on how independent the cats are and whether they need time for us to give them love and play with them, etc.
Minimum visit for up to three cats is a half hour to do the essentials, an hour if play or dedicated loving-attention is
included. Additional may cats will require additional time, at our hourly rate.
Socialized parrots/birds: Minimum of half-hour visit in the morning to uncover cages, check food and water, and open curtains.
Afternoon/evening half-hour visit to check food and water, change papers as necessary, and give out-time. Additional time, at our hourly rate,
may be necessary for households with multiple cages/birds, especially if the birds all require individual out-time.
Birds in an aviary: Minimum one hour per day, for up to four cages, which includes a half-hour morning visit and a half-hour afternoon
visit to check on
everyone, change substrate, and provide food and fresh water. For a week or more, an additional half-hour per cage per week to do a
thorough cage cleaning (so if you have two aviaries, an additional hour per week on top of basic care).
Rodents, reptiles, fish, and other small animals: Food, water, out-time and cage/habitat cleaning as necessary based on species, at our
hourly rate.
Mixed-type households: If you have multiple types of animals in your home, we can work out a schedule that will work best for the number
and types of animals you have, based on our hourly rate. Minimum hours for each species will apply to ensure proper care, personal attention,
and walks/exercise are done for all the animals.
