Mid day dog walking$17.
Dog walks/pet sits are customized as desired and may involve leash walking around the neighborhood, or a romp in the yard, freshening water, leaving a detailed note about each walk, treats/meals, etc., noting the time I arrive. Walks/visits average 30 minutes. Walks will be shortened in inclement weather, if the dog is uncomfortable. However, I am well equiped to walk in nearly any conditions and will monitor your dog's comfort level. Some dogs prefer shorter walks in rain, snow and ice. I will then spend time at home, playing, training, grooming, pampering, whatever you and your dog(s) prefers. I do not let dogs off leash.

Pet sit visits - First visit $17. Each additional visit $15. Dogs require three visits/day. I do not pet sit puppies, dogs must be mature and able to stay at home alone comfortably. I can refer you to someone who takes in puppies. Cats require one visit/day, no less.
**All fees are subject to change and will depend upon the amount of time involved.**
Cat visits $15 - second visit same day $15
Cat visits involve feeding and cleaning litter boxes, watering plants within reason, bringing in mail and turning on and off lights. Playing, grooming, training are all included, if time permits. I will sometimes bring along toys, if desired or requested, and spend time each visit after initial feeding and cleaning chores are completed.
Along with cats and dogs, I am happy to care for small animals, fish (including cleaning tanks), birds and farm animals.
Minimum visit fee $13 - example - to give simple medications/injections or trim nails, if I am already out doing visits. Hourly rate = $35/hour.
Fee for multiple animals will be charged according to time involved.
I work closely with two other wonderful pet sitters and I will refer to them during my vacations or times I am booked or unavailable. Weekend availability is limited.
