I've always had an array of pets for as long as I can remember; I love birds and animals! I have experience caring for dogs (puppy-seniors), cats (kitten-senior), special needs pets (e.g. diabetic, administering pills, shots), domestic birds (e.g. chicken, duck, quail), parrots/parrotlets, horses, small furry animals (e.g. hamsters, rats, guinea pigs), saltwater and freshwater fish tanks and amphibians. I am also a beekeeper hobbiest and can keep an eye on your hives while you're away. I will treat your pets as well as I treat my own. During a 30 minute home visit, I will play with your pet if they are willing, groom, feed, and clean any pet messes. Walks will be around the immediate area, unless you have a preference for elsewhere. During house sitting, I may occasionally need to run an errand, stop into my home briefly or do a drop-in visit with another client, but much of the time will be spent at your home with your pets. For an overnight stay, $55 covers up to 2 dogs from the same household. There's an additional dog rate of $10/day starting at the 3rd dog. I generally don't charge extra for multiple cats or other pets for an overnight stay or drop-in visit, unless they require a lot of extra care, such as injections, difficult to pill, etc. An overnight stay includes a midday potty/play break and potty/play time in the morning and evening before bedtime. If you or your pets do not need/want a human presence there overnight, I *may* sleep at my own home. I'm a stay-at-home mom to a 15 and 17 year old, so have a pretty flexible schedule. I only take clients within a 20 mile radius from my home so I can spend more time with your pets rather than driving.
