♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ February is Special! All boarding stays booked before the end of this month are 20% off my regular rate! (Rate card has been updated to reflect discounted rates). ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ Hi! My name is Catherine, and my motto is fun, flexible care for every pup! I offer care that's optimized to meet your needs, with the opportunity to "ok" (or, "no way") details before you confirm your booking. SERVICES I OFFER: Petsitting services include overnight boarding in my home, at-home sitting in yours, or a.m. and p.m. drop-in visits (primary service area includes: Gresham, Troutdale, Boring, Sandy, and east Portland. Services outside this area may incur a mileage charge). When boarding, I take your pup's personality and energy level into account to develop a care plan that works for you and your pet. Typically, pups who board in my home are free to socialize and play with my dog during the day, with a seperate room or kennel available if they prefer to retreat for quiet time. However, I can make custom arrangements for anxious or sensitive dogs, such as a seperate closed-door or gated room - please contact me to discuss your needs. Kitties are welcome and have their own space, so they don't have to mingle with the pups. Travelling services are similar to boarding, but scheduled as 12-hour overnight shifts in your home or as a.m./p.m. drop-in visits. During home visits, I can also help out with plant-watering, mail collection, patio lights, and any other common housesitting tasks. I have experience with older dogs, anxious and reactive dogs, puppies, cats, bunnies, small birds, freshwater fish, and chickens! Please note: I cannot board female pups age 6 months or older unless spayed, but I'm happy to watch unspayed females at your home. I prefer to board pets from one family at a time. Stays that overlap by more than 4 hours will be accepted only with permission from both owners. Stays that overlap by more than a day require permission from both owners and a joint meet-and-greet. Unless otherwise indicated, I am available full-time on weekends and holidays *only.* Pets boarded on these dates will not be unaccompanied for more than 4 hours per 24-hour period. For extended stays, pets may be unaccompanied for up to 10 hours per 24 hour period during the standard work week. RATES: Boarding: Published rates are per pup, per day. Pets may be unattended for not more than four hours on weekends and federal holidays, ten hours on standard work days. Pets may have access to the main living area, be provided a private room or gated area, or be crated when unattended, according to our care plan - however, expanded access may require a trial stay or temperament testing before it can be offered. First-time boarding clients are encouraged to start care on a weekend or schedule a trial stay so I can better assess your dog's supervision needs before booking mid-week dates. Housesitting and drop-ins: My published rate is a flat rate for time and travel in my primary coverage area, and includes care for up to three domestic pets (dogs and cats). If you have more animals requiring care and/or non-traditional pets, please contact me for a custom quote. Add-ons: * Extra walks (30 minutes, on-leash): $10 per dog, or $15 for a combined walk (with 2 related dogs, only). * Baths: $25 for boarders, $35 at your home. PUPPY POLICY: For puppies 6 months or younger: To ensure your puppy's health and safety during this important developmental stage, a "puppy premium" will apply - boarding clients will be billed at twice the usual rate to allow for additional enrichment time, more frequent potty breaks, extra clean-up, etc. Homesitting visits will be extended from 12 to 24 hours, and a 50% surcharge is added. For puppies age 6-12 months: Puppies mature at different rates. Once your pup successfully demonstrates good manners, bathroom habits, and minimal "puppy-biting" (or chewing/teething) during a stay, I waive the "puppy premium" for future care. FAMILY "PACK" DISCOUNT: The more, the merrier! Board two pets with me, and your third pet boards free! EXTENDED STAY DISCOUNT: I offer an extended stay discount of $5 per night, per pet, for boarding and in-home stays of 10 days or longer.. PUBLIC SERVICE DISCOUNT: I offer discounted extended-care rates for boarding stays of 7 days or longer for "public service" travel. This includes travel related to military training and deployments, emergency management, wildland firefighting and similar work. Also included: Mission trips, volunteer (and volun-tourism) opportunites, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, on-call medical staffing, education or research-related travel (such as field work), and military mid-tour and post-deployment leave.
