VACATION AT SITTER’S HOME
$30/20/day
1st/2nd dog <
~30 lb; $35/$25/day spring break week and holiday weekends
Smaller dogs
can vacation at pet sitter's home. Pet sitter will
maintain pet's regular schedule as much as possible while
providing attention, walks, and frequent outside time in fenced yard (weather
permitting). A pre-visit is required to determine if this
is a good fit for both your pet and sitter's pets and so that
your pet is not left in an unfamiliar place when you leave for
vacation. Availability is limited, as we only take a
few dogs at a time, and determined on a
case-by-case basis.
This option is for potty-trained
well-behaved house dogs good with other dogs and
preferably cats (no young puppies in chewing stage). It is
strongly encouraged to bring a crate for your pet. While
we would never put a dog who would be traumatized into a crate,
there will be short periods of time when dogs are unsupervised.
A dog who has a crate and is comfortable staying inside for a
short time should use the crate at a sitter's home, at least in
the beginning. On returning visits, well behaved dogs may
be given run of the house, but for everyone's safety this should be determined by sitter
after a dog has stayed at sitter's home. If a dog ruins
floors, furniture, or belongings, it may result in extra
charges.
Proof of vaccinations is required, and
dogs should be current on flea prevention.

Important Terms
Payment is due when service starts.
Any prepaid service not rendered due to notification of early return will be
refunded in full. You may leave payment at the home for sitter to
pick up at the first visit.
If your pet or home needs more time than
a typical visit, it will be added as needed and billed to you. Cleanup,
watering a few plants, mail pickup, and other average
tasks are included in base price, within reason, and as time permits. More time consuming tasks
can be requested and are $4-$6
extra per 15 minutes, depending on the task requested.
Two working keys are highly recommended for in home service. If you request your keys
returned at the last visit you will not be able to request additional
visits if your return is delayed (unless code access is provided).
Code access is ok instead of keys, but remember sitter may not
have access to provide service if there is a lock/battery
failure or power outage. Pickup of the key a second time does incur an additional $5 fee.
Late
fee is 10% for any payments more than 30 days past due.
Pets must
be current on flea prevention and rabies/routine vaccinations, including bordatella for the boarding option,
and should be spayed or neutered. Up-to-date proof of vaccinations is required
for boarding.
