DOG WALKING/PET SITTING

The initial consultation visit is free as long as you retain my services without canceling.  Otherwise, there will be a $15 cancellation fee to cover my time & gas spent driving to your house.  **I usually ask people to check with all of there friends & family to see if they can watch your pets before contacting me in effort to keep my cancellations to a minimum.  It will reduce the headache for me & you in the long run if you do this 1st & it will also save you a $15 cancellation fee!**

I will come to your home & take your dog for a walk for only $15/visit.  Visits are usually 30 mins long.  Time includes walking and/or letting out in yard, playing, feeding, administering meds, etc. (WALK TIME DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR DOG CAN HANDLE & DEPENDS ON WEATHER CONDITIONS SUCH AS STORMY WEATHER & VERY HOT DAYS.)  I also do cat sitting & other pets.  Please see price chart below for multiple dog discounts & rates for cats/other pets.  Most people prefer to hire me instead of boarding their pets because most animals do not like being taken out of their own environment!  Plus, most boarding facilities walk your dog & then they are caged the rest of the time unless you pay extra for doggy day care.  Then if you choose doggy day care you also have to worry about another dog hurting your dog during play time or your dog getting sick from another dog.

Everyone is required by law to pick up there dog's poop so it is the owners responsibility to provide me w/ 1 (hole free) poop bag for each dog!  If you do not have a bag then I will be unable to walk your dog that day & you will still be charged for that visit or IF I have a bag on me you can pay $1/bag.  You will be notified before hand in that event but please keep in mind I may not always have a bag on me that day.  The same applies for cats as well if you want me to clean their litter box.  Also, if you want me to let your dog out in your yard to poop I will only clean up what they do that day.  If you want me to clean your whole yard there will be an additional fee.  Fee depends on how many dogs you have & how many visits you want.

DOG BOARDING (CAGE FREE)

On occasion I will take a dog into my home only if they can get along with my dog.   I can only board 1 dog at a time & sorry but no cats. 
I cannot board female dogs that are in heat & any dogs that are younger than 9 months old!   The fee is $40/day.  They will be cage free in my home as long as they are not destructive!  If they are destructive then you must bring a kennel for them to stay in if I have to leave my house for any reason.  They will have free roam of my house & will be walked twice/day.  I also have a big fenced yard that they can play in w/ my dog under supervision of course.  I allow them to sit/sleep on the sofa & in the bed w/ me.   I also email doggy report cards everyday to let you know how they are doing.  You must provide their food, water & food bowls, treats, collar, leash, toys, bed if they prefer to sleep in their own bed & any medication they may be on.  THEY MUST BE CURRENT ON ALL VACINATIONS & KENNEL COUGH, FLEA & HEARTWORM MEDICATION & HAVE NO SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS!  THEY ALSO MUST BE 100% POTTY TRAINED TO GO OUTSIDE! 


PET TAXI  

For only $20(one way) I can take your pet to the vet or groomer for you so that you do not have to miss work.  The fee is $40 round trip if you need me to drop off & pick up your pet.  THIS COVERS MY TIME & MY GAS.


KEY RETURN
There will be a $10 charge if I have to drive back to your house to return your key or pick the key up again for repeat clients.  This covers my time & gas.  However, if you have a door that can be locked from the inside before I shut it then I can leave the key in your house before I leave on the last visit or you can choose a secret hiding place for it to be left outside to avoid the $10 fee.  Another option is you can drive to my house to pick up/drop off the key.  The choice is yours.  I usually don't have time to stop & meet anyone somewhere either!  Most people just give me a spare key to hold on to so they don't have to worry about key drop off/pickup.   For my regular clients if you need to cancel your contract please let me know in advance so that I can drop off your key on my last visit.  Otherwise, you will have to pay the $10 fee for me to drive back to your house & drop it off!  I will waive the $10 fee if you want to drive to my house & pick it up.


HOLIDAYS

If you need me to work on a holiday there will be an extra charge of $10 per visit. There is also a $15 cancellation fee that applies to everyone if you schedule then cancel dates on or the week of holidays.
Holidays include:  New Years Day, Mardi Gras Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day & Christmas Day.

DISCOUNTS

If you have multiple dogs that you need walked, I can offer you a discount of $5 off each dog.  So if you have 2 or more dogs then instead of paying $15/dog/visit, you would only pay $10/dog/visit.

If you have 1 dog & cats or other animals, I usually won't charge you anything extra for the cats or other animals.  So all you would pay is $15/visit.   If you only have cats or other animals then the price is the same as the dogs, $15/visit.  Please see price chart below for more info.

Price Chart Below:

1 Dog  = $15/visit (example: 2 Dogs = $20/visit; 3 Dogs = $30/visit)
1 Cat/other pet = $15/visit (example: 2 Cats/other pet = $20/visit; 3 Cats/other pet = $30/visit)

Out of Towners/Non-regular client:  
If you are a non-regular client or someone that is just going out of town, payment is due in full before you leave for your trip. This prevents me from having to spend more time & gas driving back to your house to pick up payment after you return from your trip.  Please make sure of the exact days you need me because if you decide to cancel any days or end your trip early you will not receive a refund.  It will be considered a cancellation fee seeing how it is such short notice.
