*Negotiable Rates* As a dog and cat mom myself,I know how much you love and care about your fur baby! It is always a difficult decision when choosing someone to trust with our pets and that’s why I take this responsibility very seriously. For many years, I have been fostering and taking care of animals (dogs, cats, rodents) for various non-for-profit organizations while caring for my own along the way. My parents instilled a passion and love for all things furry by getting me involved at a very young age, and it has stuck ever since! I would love to chat with you to better understand the needs of your pets. My promise to all clients is to provide the level of care, respect and safety I would want for my own, because anything else is unacceptable. Those who teach the most about humanity, aren’t always human ?? DETAILS: Dog Boarding: With me, I make every effort to ensure your dog feels at home when they are in my care. This means your dog is never crated (unless requested),never unsupervised, goes on walks on a daily basis, has snuggles on the couch, tons of fun adventures and free access to stimulating toys! Pick up and drop off price is based on full 24 hours. The expectation for pick up time is the same for drop off time. For example, if you have booked boarding for 2 nights and drop your fur baby off at 1:00 pm on Friday, the expected pick up time will be 1:00 pm Sunday. I am more than happy to accommodate for longer, but will charge a rate of $5 an hour for anytime over and above what was scheduled. I also offer discounted rates for boarding that is longer than 5 days as well as discounted rates for families with multiple dogs. Want to board with me but I’m booked up? No problem, I would be happy to accommodate! Often times, if I have new clients boarding I like to get a sense of who they are before I pair them with other doggies just for everyone’s safety. In this case, I will only board one dog for the weekend (I will always happily accept two from the same family though!). If this is the case but you still want to use my services, I can arrange to do multiple drop ins and walks per day, while your pup enjoys the comfort of his own home without boarding. Let’s chat about what this could look like if you have any questions! House Sitting: If you are interested in me taking care of your pet(s) within the comfort of your own home, this is something I would be more than happy to offer! I offer discounted rates for stays longer than 3 days in a row and for households with multiple animals. I also offer housecleaning services while I’m housesitting such as vacuuming, bathroom cleaning, laundry service, lawn mowing and completion of other household tasks as needed (for a fee which can be discussed prior to booking). I am also flexible with times for house sitting.

Factors that impact pet sitting cost

Planning a trip as a pet owner? Hiring a pet sitter is an excellent solution for care for your furry friend. Before you hire a pet sitter, it's important to understand the factors that affect the cost of their services:

  • Time and Duration - Pet sitters usually charge either a daily or hourly rate. The length of time you require care for will affect your final costs. Many pet sitters will also offer package deals and discounts for longer bookings.
  • Your pet’s needs - Consider the frequency of your dog's walks, or your cat's feeding schedule. Different services will have different prices. Some pet sitters also offer extra services like administering medication, grooming, or even behavioral training, which may increase the cost.
  • Location - The cost of pet care will range across the country city-by-city depending on the cost of living in your city area.
  • Years of Experience - The level of experience of the pet sitter will also have a factor on pricing. More experienced sitters, with professional backgrounds in behavioural or medical training may charge a higher rate, than a less specialized sitter.
