Pet Sitter and Dog Walker Services
Pet Sitting
Home Visit: A 30 minute stop at your home to check on the welfare of your pets and residence. This is a good option for clients who are going on vacation with low maintenance pets, such as cats, or for those who work long hours and want someone to check in on their pet throughout the day. Multiple daily Home Visits are recommended for clients on vacation with dogs to ensure that they get the human interaction they need in their owner's absence.
Includes the following duties: Provide food, water, and any required medications for your pets, animal waste clean up, take out/return garbage cans to the curbside, collect mail, watering plants, and play/interaction time with your pet.
$25/visit (+mileage, if applicable, see below).
Overnight Stay: An overnight stay in your home, ensuring that your pet is comfortable in the familiarity of their home environment with their surrogate fur-father (meaning me) while their actual owner is away. Two additional Home Visits throughout the day are included, one of which will be comprised of a daily dog walk for dog owners. Availability for Overnight Visits is limited, especially during holidays, so please book well in advance.
Includes the following duties: Provide food, water, and any required medications for your pets, animal waste clean up, take out/return garbage cans to the curbside, collect mail, watering indoor and outdoor plants, and extended play/interaction time with your pet for the duration of the stay.
$80/night (+mileage)
Dog Walking
Arriving at your home, dog walks consist of a 30 minute walk around the surrounding area, setting whatever pace your pet's energy level demands. In the hopes of maintaining consistency, the client's preferred method of training will be adhered to. In the absence of any formal training, basic leash obedience will be encouraged and developed through the use of treats and praise.
$25/walk for up to 2 dogs. +$5 per additional dog from the same owner. (+mileage)
$45 for an hour walk.
Mileage
In consideration of the convenience I provide, coming directly to you, I charge a small mileage fee to cover the cost of gas and wear on my car, as well as the time investment of the drive itself. The cost is simply based on how far your home, or other designated service location, lies from my home, which is located just outside Arlington. Any resulting mileage fee, if applicable, will simply be added to the cost of the service being provided.
