AVAILABILITY I keep my calendar up to date and value clear, reliable communication. I’m available for drop-ins on evenings, weekends, and holidays. For housesitting, my standard schedule is arriving in the morning, staying all day, and returning home at night. On workdays, this includes working remotely from your home during the day. OVERNIGHT CARE If overnight care is required, an additional overnight fee applies. I have a cat at home, use transit, and work full time, so overnight stays require additional planning around travel time, my work schedule, and making sure my own pet continues to receive consistent care. My base overnight fee is $25 per night for locations within one mile, and the fee may increase based on commute distance, care requirements, and the number of animals. SERVICE AREA My service area is within a 3-mile radius from the edge of Capitol Hill/SLU. I charge an additional commute fee starting at $25 per day for clients outside of that range. *Note on Additional Fees: If a booking is both out of my service area and requires overnight care, only one additional fee will be charged; the price will be determined based on the circumstances of the request. NEW CLIENTS For new clients, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet promptly so we can confirm fit and go over routines, expectations, and logistics. If an in-person meet-and-greet needs to happen closer to the booking start date, I’m happy to do a phone call or video chat to confirm booking prior to the meet-and-greet. If meeting in-person is not feasible due to scheduling constraints, a video chat can take the place of the meet-and-greet. In some cases, booking may be required prior to meeting in-person.
