Service Fees
Expert Care & Medical Treatment
Pets in need of medical care and drug administration receive care from a sitter with veterinary technician expertise. I also am a FEMA-trained instructor, teaching Pet First Aid and CPR Certification.
Prices listed here are base prices. Your final quote is based on number and type of pets, services needed, medical/special needs care, location etc.
BOARDING: I do not board animals of any kind in my home.
Daily Pictures & Videos FREE!
I make being away from your pets a little easier by sending you daily pictures and/or videos sent via Signal or WhatsApp secure messaging. You’ll get to see your beloved critters’ faces every day, and rest assured that they are well cared for and happy!
GRATUITIES
Gratuities aren’t required, but are always welcome if you feel I’ve provided stellar service. Please no food, alcohol, or plants as gratuities, thank you. Cash, Amazon gift cards, or tips via Venmo/Cash App are wonderful and much appreciated!
Meet & Greet (Home Visit)
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.
Meet & Greet Fee
First Consult Free: Up to 45 minutes for most pet services. Setting up services for ranch animals and certain types of exotic pets may require a longer home visit, at no additional charge.
Subsequent Consults: $25: per 30 minutes

Emergency Vet Visits
Animals that I can lift (25 lb limit) and that will fit in my small SUV (via carrier or in the secured back area of the vehicle) will be transported safely to your preferred standard or emergency vet. This can include certain exotic and outdoor pets.
WEIGHT LIMITS: In case of emergencies with animals over 25lbs, we will discuss an emergency back up plan before beginning your first service. This may involve ensuring your local emergency contact is ready and able to assist me with your pet in a medical emergency or having a local vet available who makes emergency house calls.
Emergency Care
Vet Visit Fee: $25 per 1/2 hr. Clients are responsible for paying vet fees at the time vet services are rendered. BatCo will not be responsible for vet, grooming, or related fees.
