A Pet's Domain

Standard Service

Standard vacation petsitting service includes: Fresh food and water, potty time outside for dogs, daily litter change for cats, medications if needed, and playtime, petting time, brushing time, etc.  I strive to cater my service to your pets' unique needs, including special needs for the senior pet or postsurgery or illness care.  I water indoor plants, bring in mail and newspapers/solicitation materials, and rotate your lights to give your home a lived-in appearance.  Other requests from you are welcome, and can usually be accommodated, with my first priority being the safety and happiness of your pets.  1-2 visits/day: $15 each visit

          3+ visits/day:  $15 for visits 1-2, $12/visit thereafter

             Add a dog walk:  $2 (up to 2 dogs walked together)

*In the midst of the ever-rising cost of fuel, I will make every effort to keep my rates reasonable and fair.  Some locations may  be subject to a small gas surcharge.* Payment is due in full at the free consultation for first-time clients.  At this time, cash and checks are accepted.

Workweek daily petsitting/dogwalking: I also provide walking and sitting services for you while you are at work.  Services could include puppy/kitten care, post-surgery or senior pet care with special needs, baths at your home or mine, transportation to veterinary or grooming appointments, pet-related errands and much more.  Just ask!  Rates determined based on needs.

Key pickup or dropoff policy:  I am happy to make an extra trip to pick up or drop off keys, however this will be charged at $10.  To avoid an extra charge, have a key available for me at the initial meeting.  Repeat clients often prefer to just have me keep a key for future visits, to avoid extra charges or driving back and forth to drop off and pick up their key. 

Additional Services

 Dog Baths:  $15 and up "Squeaky clean" Shampoo, dry, brushing, ear cleaning and fragrance as requested.  Starting price is for small dogs that can be bathed indoors.  Price for larger dogs or dogs that must be bathed outdoors will be quoted upon request. 

                            : "Some extra scrubbing"       For more intensive baths, for example with extra conditioning, flea preventative applications or hot spot treatments, long hair brushout or deshedding treatment.  I am also willing to bring your dog to my home or a "dog wash" if you would prefer to have the bath off site.  Price quoted depending on specific needs.
