Before a Booking I do not have breed preferences. I do like to know the feeding and medication schedule, as well as other routines that the animals have. That way I can make sure they are walked and played with as they are used to and they get food when they expect it. Providing this in a written or printed sheet is perfect. Leaving an Information Sheet Please provide the contact for your regular vet and a 24-hour emergency vet of your preference, a written letter giving me permission to take your pets to the vet in case of emergency, the location of any security cameras for my privacy, where you would like me to sleep if it is an overnight, any amenities that I am allowed to use, the Wi-Fi login information, and any other routine or care instructions, especially medication instructions, you would like me to remember for each pet. I am also happy to take care of any plants you have, as long as they are reasonable in number, so feel free to leave watering instructions. Locations of cleaning supplies and toys, as well as care items like leashes or extra treats, is also very helpful. A Few Things to Check Before You Confirm For sittings, parking that is close in proximity, safe, and easily and quickly accessible is required. If a guest or paid pass is required, it must be provided prior to the booking. All Pets Must be Listed Please make sure all pets are added to the listing. If they need food, they must be listed - automatic feeders don't exempt a pet as I have to check if the auto feeders are working. If they need their areas cleaned, they need to be listed. Rates for Non-Felines and Fidos Caged animals like guinea pigs, gerbils, mice, birds, fish, etc, can be added for $5-10 an animal per night/per drop in depending on the species, just let me know and I'll add them. Rover requires every animal to be added to the sitting, regardless of care requirements Gas Charges for Outside of Fort Collins Clients I love being able to service clients outside of Fort Collins, but in order to do so and still be able to travel to and from, a small gas fee does apply. Please know that I am located in Southeast Fort Collins. Starting in August 2021, for clients outside Fort Collins, there will be an $10 gas fee per visit for drop-ins and a $35/first week + $20/additional week gas fee for housesitting, to cover transportation costs to and from home. This includes Johnstown, Windsor, Timnath, and Loveland, starting at E 57th St and anything east of I-25, as well as Wellington, LaPorte, and unincorporated Fort Collins north of Old Town via Cherry Street. Out-of-town sittings are not eligible for a lunchtime drop-in, as the commute to and from extends past my lunch break times. Please make sure your animals can be comfortable for a full work day without a bathroom break if booking a house sitting or drop in out of my regular radius. If outside my extended radius, such as Denver or any sitting that requires more than a 12-mile/30-minute one-way commute, a $50/week gas charge will apply and pets will be required to be able to make it through a workday without being let out or must have access to a dog door or temperature controlled outdoor environment. Thank you for understanding, I love my out-of-town clients but want to be upfront with the level of care I provide to these distant clients Tips for a Great Sitting Some good tips for before you leave: giving your animal a new toy before a sitting or a series of drop-ins guarantees their happiness for the sitting. Make sure their nails are clipped and they have been recently groomed for their happiness and my safety. Make sure all areas of the home that I am able to use are in working order, and clean, and all of the appliances are working, as this allows me to maximize time in the home. I'm happy to make a quick trip home if things are not in working order or sanitized, but this does take me away from your pets. For longer stays, it's helpful if you have an area for me to store groceries, and let me know what appliances I can use to cook with. Make sure that you have enzymatic animal cleaners on hand, and restock your favorite one if you have a preference. I also have cleaning supplies and a spot bot, so if you are okay with me using that, please let me know. Rates To reiterate, holiday rates will be in effect for all US major holidays and bank holidays. Holiday rates last for the entire stay, as per Rover Terms of Service, due to the fact sitters cannot celebrate the holiday with family until the booking is over. I appreciate your understanding! Extended stay rates are automatically included for any sitting over 7 days - this rate allows me to cover the extra supplies needed for extended periods away from home. Please know that all rates are final and discount codes are available through checkout or Rover - I cannot provide a discount on my end. If a rate looks like it's inaccurately calculated, please let me know so I can look into it or explain the charges - but I cannot adjust rates or give discounts. Constant Care Rates vs. Housesitting Constant care rates start at 20/hr for the first dog and 15/hr for the first cat, with the minimum length of a constant care request starting at 3 hours. I'm only available for constant care weeknights and weekends - I do not offer constant care between 9am and 5pm on weekdays. Constant care entails consistent care for an animal, no leaving unless for walks or animal related outings for your pet, for the entire duration. Thus, I try to keep my hourly rate similar to the going hiring rate for similar roles in Fort Collins, to keep up with cost of living. I find this to be a fair rate given my expertise and experience, and do not change this rate based on the care for higher or lower maintenance animals. Thank you for understanding and valuing my time, I appreciate that my clients respect and value my skills and my time. To book constant care, select house sitting, and select the start and end date to be the same day - then select the times for constant care and alert me in your message you're needing constant care - I will adjust the rates accordingly. House-sitting rates may often appear lower than constant care rates, as house-sitting allows up to 12 hours of waking time away from a pet, thus requiring less sitting time, where constant care requires consistent care throughout the allotted time - thus the price differential. Cancellations For walks and drop-ins, any cancellation 72 hours before the scheduled day is a 100% refund, within the 72-hour period prior to a booking a 50% refund is available, and there is no refund available after the appointment starts. For sittings, cancellations for a 100% refund are available prior to 7 days before the arrival time of the booking. 7 days to 24 hours before the booking, any cancellations result in a 50% refund processed through Rover. Any cancellations after the booking have started will result in no refund. Any petsittings that end early due to cut short travel or changed plans cannot be refunded for the remaining days, and will still be charged the remaining days. These policies are detailed in the Rover Terms of Service that all owners agree to, and cannot be adjusted on my end. I appreciate your understanding! Additional Charges I do have several services available at additional charges. Please check back as I will update this list shortly.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A Typical Day There are plenty of trails around my neighborhood, including a regular park with a field a bit down the street. I love walking dogs or playing fetch, and I'm open to other needs that the dog has. As for cats, I have experience with cat strollers and cat leashes in case the cat likes outside activities, and I am a pro at laser pointers and feather sticks.
