Pet Taxi & Check-In:

Pet care experience

Pet Taxi & Check-In Service- SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS & Most HOLIDAYS!! https://pettaxicheck-inservice dot com This is an "at your home pet check-in service" and "transportation service" for your pet in the local area(s). - Saturdays, Sundays ....and select Holiday availability! Do you need your pet to go to the groomer, or get a vet check up, or enjoy a walk in the park, and you cannot find the time? Or you do not drive and public transportation will not allow pets to ride? Here is your solution.... the LOCAL PET TAXI is at your service! The Pet Taxi cost is $30 round trip with a max distance of 20 miles from my residence in the city of Port Charlotte zip code 33952. If over 20 miles away, then the cost is $40. $5 additional per pet, please. I am located in Charlotte County and look forward to checking in or transporting your beloved pet to wherever they need to go! "Check-In" [Drop-In] Visits I stop by my client's home while they're away a few times a day (Usually 3-4X is most common) for 30-45 minutes each time to feed, take out to potty, and play with their pets. The fee for check-ins run between $12-18 a visit, depending on the distance and the amount of times needed, holiday rates, numer of pets, etc. Overnight sitting in your home is at a higher rate and dependent on scheduling availability. (This would not include staying at the residence all day; just over-night with your pet.) Pet sitters take care of our most treasured furry friends and help ease the stress and discomfort that comes with a disrupted schedule for your dogs. They’ll still miss you, but having someone available for belly rubs, food, and fetch can help take their minds off the misery.

Paula was great with our fur babies! She played with them, talked to them and seemed to care very well for them while we were out of town. We appreciated all the goodies she left for them as well! She offers a lot more services as well. We plan on using her again!

Communicated well with me about how Milo was doing. Pictures were great. He was happy and well taken care of when we got home. Would definitely use Paula again

I do not care for pets at my place. I check in at the pets' residence. I can take care of any kind or breed of animal.

Information Paula B. would like to know about your pet

Initial "meet & greet "visit is free with no obligation. References are view-able on Rover.com. No breed bans of any sort! There is no such thing as a bad dog....just improper training! All sizes, colors, genders, breeds of canines welcome! Even feline & other species of passengers are welcome! (I am planning to extend the availability of days once business picks up, I work a full time job aside from my Pet care and transport services.

A typical day

Advantages for your pets: *Stay in a secure, familiar environment. *Follow their customary routine and diet. *Avoid exposure to illnesses from other animals. *Receive kind, caring, individual attention Free Services (requested by customer): *Taking in mail and newspapers. *Turning lights, television, and radios on and off at different times during the day. *Watering plants. *Opening and closing blinds and shades. *Checking alarm systems. I have studied animal care and veterinary assistant classes online and I also have much hands on animal experience through volunteering at many local shelters and for foster pet programs as well. I have my own dogs, cat, and semi-aquatic reptiles....so very experienced with household pets. Also I volunteer at Lake Farmpark and have experience around dairy cows and horses too. Why I love dog sitting Since birth I have loved animals...as time passes I know I want to spend more and more time with pets and it would be great if I can make a living doing something I am talented at and I enjoy doing! About my yard This is irrelevant. I will be transporting the pet and will not be at my residence at all. My experience administering medication Yes, I have been taking animal care classes and have had my own experience when my dogs were in need of medication. Contact me to make an appointment. Raves from My Customers Check out what these customers had to say: "I have known Paula for about four years. She is one of the best people I know with animals. she talks to them and treats them like children, with love and guide lines. I would highly recommend her as a qualified pet sitter." --carol N. Brendan B. August 19 From what I have seen with how she treats her dogs (and cat), and how she has treated my dog I am certain she would provide excellent care in handling and transporting your dog. Beth S. August 20 I have known Paula for the last 11 years, she is great with her animals...I see that she puts a lot of love and care into all of them....I would refer her any day. Dawn H. August 20 Paula is AWESOME with animals!!!! I couldn't imagine anyone else taking care of their animals any better than she does! She will care for the them as if they were her own! (and if you know her, you know how babied and loved they are). Kevin U. August 20 Every time i see Paula anymore she is with her dogs. I can absolutely see within her and them how they love being all together. Whenever i get a dog again...she'd be the first person id want to help me take care of it. Suzanne L. August 20 I have known Paula for several years and know how responsible, loving and caring she is with her dogs. Paula has a wonderful sense of humor too and I believe this would also help her to be a fine dog caregiver. Paula always smiles re regardless of whatever happens. She is an absolute darling. Michael B. August 20 Paula is a very kind and compassionate person who loves all animals. Paula is also very responsible and takes great care of the dogs she owns. I have also witnessed her interact with other dogs and cats and I know she would be a great dog caregiver! Here's where we'll take our walks Yes, if requested...walks would be included since rates are all based on time, not what service is being performed. Your dog's sleeping arrangement This also is not part of the service. This is a pet transportation and walking service, not a boarding service. Time I'll spend with your dog I will be with your pet throughout the duration of the travel time and at the destination as well. Time I'll spend with your dog It all depends on your location and the travel time to and from the desired destination(s).
