Dog Walking and Exercising

Regular dog walking hours are 10 AM - 5 PM, M-F. After-hours non-vacation walks (before 10 AM, after 5 PM, or anytime on Saturday or Sunday), when available, have a $5.00 surcharge fee per walk. This surcharge does not apply to vacation drop-ins or walks that part of an overnight stay; see fees for those services below.

Walks are 25 minutes in length.The fee is $15.00 for one dog and $2.00 per additional dog.
Dogs are walked individually unless they have a neighborhood "buddy" and both owners request for the dogs to be walked together.
Visits to a local, enclosed park are an alternative to walks.
Customized, detailed notes are left after each visit.
Fresh water is always given daily, as well as treats, if approved.
Feeding at visits is optional (included in fee).

Vacation Drop-In Visits 

Service is generally available seven days/ week and is available on and around all major holidays (see holiday surcharges below).

cat care (feeding, litter scooping/changing, brushing, playing, TLC, meds, etc)
other small animal care (feeding, cage cleaning, and whatever else
is applicable.)
dog visits (walking, feeding, playtime, TLC, meds, etc)

Visits for cats and other small animals generally occur in the morning, but afternoon and evening visits are usually available and multiple daily visits are an option. Dog visits are available at a minimum of three walks per day; morning, afternoon, and bedtime.

Service includes, but is not limited to, the following (all included in fee):

plant watering
mail/newspaper collection
trash removal
lights/blinds rotation
medication administration (oral, injection, topical, or any other type)
cleaning of food/litter/plant areas, accidents and other messes

Fees, for 25-30-minute visits:

Cats and other small animals: $17 for first two animals; additional $2 for each animal beyond two (in terms of payment, one "animal" = one cat, one rabbit, one cage of rodents or birds, or one tank of fish or other aquatic animals). Second daily visits may be available at a reduced rate.

$3 surcharge for every-other-day visits (only available for healthy animals who do not like visitors or who socialize with their animal housemates; for the well-being of social single animals, kittens, geriatric animals, or animals with health conditions, I do not recommend, and therefore do not provide, visits on a less-than-daily basis).

Dog vacation drop-ins: $15 for mid-day visits; $18 for morning and evening visits

Overnight Vacation Care 

Would your furry friends like to have someone to snuggle with during the night in the comfort and familiarity of their own home? Would you like additional security for your home while you are away? If so, overnight pet sitting in your home is probably the best option for you.

I would stay overnight in your home (sleeping on the couch or wherever you would prefer that I sleep), and conduct other vacation care services as usual (feeding, playing, cat litter scooping, 3-4 dog walks per day, plant care, mail retrieval, etc).

Service is available on a first-come, first-served basis, generally seven days/ week.

Fees (per 24-hour period):

Dogs:
$60 for one dog
$65 for 2 dogs
$70 for 3 dogs

Cats:
$45 for one or two cats;
extra $10 for each additional cat

Other small animals or mixed species:
Will quote upon inquiry.

At the time of reservation, a 50% deposit is due, with the remainder due at the start of service. Be sure to schedule overnight stays as far in advance as possible to ensure service availability; especially for holiday stays.
