We can discuss your individual needs, but generally I charge by visit and I can come for a variety of reasons, so we can discuss rates upon initial contact: Walks/potty breaks Feeding or medicine administration Tuck-ins for anxious pets that just need someone to be there for awhile in your absence Litter box cleans Brushing Occasional overnight care when needed Home care: water plants, open/close blinds, turn on/off lights, bring in mail, etc. - to keep up an appearance that someone is there.
