Pet Services

Please note that I charge by the hour (except for the meet and greet, and where 30 minute visits are noted as an option) since I believe your pets deserve at least that much attention while you’re away.

A holiday surcharge of 15% applies to the following rates (holiday being defined as New Years Day; Martin Luther King Jr. Day; President’s Day; Memorial Day; Independence Day; Labor Day; Columbus Day; Veterans Day; Thanksgiving Day; Christmas Day). Cancellation of services less than 5 days prior to a holiday carries a 50% surcharge.

Does your dog attend Tails-A-Wagging classes or doggie daycare? If so, a 10% discount applies to my first visit (anything other than the Meet and Greet).

Payments can be made by cash or check.

Please have ready a copy of your pet’s current vaccination record; the name, location, and phone number of your veterinarian; the name and phone number of a local emergency contact; and keys.

Payments are due in advance for first-time clients and for clients booking on holidays.

MEET and GREET

3 Schips and a Girl requires a Meet and Greet a few days prior to service. Plan for a minimum of 30 minutes for this very important visit during which I will get to know you and your furry friends, gather pertinent info regarding their care and your needs, and have you read and sign a pet service contract.

PUPPY SITS

Puppies require special attention, and therefore the Puppy Sit package is designed to keep these little ones busy, happy, and safe while you’re away. During my visits I will help with basic positive reward training (sits, downs, tricks, etc.), will maintain potty training (and will take care of potty cleanup!), play games, and generally ensure a pup’s well being. Please call for rates.

Please note that the above Pet Taxi rates are for pickup and drop off. If I need to wait for your pet (e.g. at the vet’s office), then Pet Sitting rates apply and are in addition to you Pet Taxi rates.

Are you a Tails-A-Wagging client?

If so, call about special rates.
