Rates and Services |
We ask for a 50% deposit prior to pet sitting and then the balance upon completion. For longer term sittings (weeks-months), we ask for payment every 2 weeks. We do not charge a key fee--we ask for a key to be provided that is returned to you upon completion of the sitting service if applicable. We give your home that lived-in look while you are gone for no additional charge! We pick up newspapers and flyers from the yard, turn on/off lights if requested, turn on/off radios, water plants, and bring in the mail. All for no additional charge!! |
