Pet Sitting Service Rates

First Home Visit

First Consult Free: Up to 45 minutes for most pet services. Setting up services for outdoor animals, multiple pet households, and certain types of exotic pets may require a longer home visit, at no additional charge.

How It Works

The home visit gives you the opportunity to decide whether I’m the right fit for your family, and it gives me the opportunity to understand your pet’s individual needs. Read more about home visits.

I will come to your house to meet your pets and you, gather necessary information about your pets and home for setting up new services, and we’ll go over the pet forms, contract, and policies in detail.

I will also get two house keys from you to keep securely on file in order to provide future pet sitting services, to provide clients lock-out service, and as a back-up if electronic means of entry to your home are disrupted.

Drop In Pet Care Visits

Full-service pet care starts at $28/visit for one indoor pet. The length of time per visit and the final rate are variable, based on your location and the number/type of pets and their needs.

Visits include:

• L.A.P. Time – Love, Affection, and Playtime!
• Kind, supportive care for senior and special needs pets
• Medications, special diets, and mobility support

House sitting services are included to help your home look lived-in and stay secure while you’re away. This includes collecting mail and packages, bringing in newspapers, and removing any flyers or solicitations left at your door. Your sitter will rotate lights, check the thermostat for proper heating or cooling, and take trash bins out and bring them back in on schedule.

We can also water your plants or garden, refill outdoor animal or bird feeders, and will perform a daily walk-through to ensure everything is safe and in order.

Emergency Vet Transport and Support

In a medical emergency during a scheduled drop-in or live-in pet care visit, your pet will be safely transported to your primary veterinarian or preferred emergency clinic. We handle all transport with care, and our professional pet sitter insurance includes coverage for pets in any vehicle.

Clinic wait time: $25 per 30 minutes (includes time spent checking in, waiting, in-room time, and communicating with the veterinary team)

Travel time: $25 per round trip

After-hours surcharge (6pm–7am): $50 flat fee added to standard rates

WEIGHT LIMITS: In case of emergencies with small animals over 25lbs or large dogs with mobility issues, we will discuss an emergency plan before beginning your first service. This can involve ensuring your local emergency contact is ready and able to assist me with your pet or having a local vet available who makes emergency house calls.

Please make sure your veterinary preferences and emergency contacts are up to date at the time of booking.
