Care Visits
Care visits provide reliable, in-home care for pets who do not require overnight supervision.
Visits are structured by time and level of hands-on lead care, allowing me to support everything
from small, contained animals to larger animals requiring more involved handling.
Additional animals, tanks, extended time, added tasks, or vet-directed care are accommodated for
an incremental fee and reviewed during the consultation.
All Care Visits include:
• Feeding and fresh water
• Bathroom break
• Basic waste cleanup
• Visual health check
• Cuddles & attention
• Written update and photo
Essential Care Visit – 15 minutes
$20 – 1 animal or 1 tank
Best suited for cats, small animals (such as rabbits, fish, and birds), and pets with simple,
contained care needs.
Standard Care Visit – 30 minutes
$35 – 1 animal or 1 tank
Best suited for dogs and pets who benefit from outdoor access, interaction, and moderate
supervision.
Extended Care Visit – 60 minutes
$65 – 1 animal
Best suited for horses and larger animals, or pets whose care requires additional time, handling,
or setup.
Overnights
Overnight care provides in-home supervision for pets who benefit from remaining in their
familiar environment while their owners are away. Care is structured around an evening visit,
overnight presence, and morning visit, with expectations and time-alone limits discussed during
the consultation.
Custom quotes are provided following the consultation. Additional animals, tanks, extended
time, added tasks, or vet-directed care are accommodated for an incremental fee as needed.
Overnight Schedule
Evening Care | 5–7 PM
Includes a Standard Care Visit to meet your pet’s evening needs and settle them for the night.
Overnight Presence | 7 PM–7 AM
I stay overnight in your home and provide monitoring and general supervision. While I may step
out briefly, I remain locally available, and pets are never left beyond agreed-upon time limits.
Morning Care | 7–9 AM
Includes a Standard Care Visit to start your pet’s day.
Walks
Walks provide structured outings for dogs who benefit from regular exercise, mental stimulation,
and routine while their owners are away. Walks are tailored to each dog’s age, energy level, and
comfort, with safety and familiarity prioritized.
Standard Dog Walk – 30 minutes
$35 – 1 dog
Best suited for dogs who enjoy regular walks as part of their daily routine.
Additional dogs may be walked together when appropriate and are accommodated for an
incremental fee. Dogs requiring separate walks are priced individually. Extended walk time may
be accommodated for an incremental fee and reviewed during the consultation.
Pet Taxi
Pet taxi service provides safe, reliable transportation for pets who need to travel locally while
their owners are unavailable. This service is designed for routine, planned transport and is
scheduled based on time and logistics rather than distance.
Pet Taxi Service
Starting at $35
Common uses include:
• Veterinary appointments
• Grooming visits
• Boarding drop-off or pick-up
Pricing is time-based due to local traffic conditions and scheduling considerations. Additional
wait time, return trips, or extended transport are accommodated for an incremental fee and
reviewed during the consultation.
Vet-Directed Care
Some pets require care that goes beyond routine feeding, supervision, or exercise. Vet-directed
care is available for pets with ongoing health needs, recovery routines, or age-related
considerations, when discussed in advance.
All vet-directed care is provided only as prescribed by the pet’s veterinarian and within the scope of those instructions.
Vet-directed care may include:
• Oral, topical, and injectable medications
• Subcutaneous fluids
• Post-operative care and recovery routines
• Bandage changes and wound care
• Senior and geriatric care
• Care related to known health conditions (such as chronic health conditions, cognitive decline, or
mobility limitations)
• Additional observation and documentation related to a pet’s condition
Important Notes
• Vet-directed care must be prescribed by a licensed veterinarian
• I do not diagnose conditions or make medical decisions
• Not all care situations can be accommodated
Because vet-directed care varies in complexity, timing, and responsibility, it is not included in
base services and is quoted separately after consultation.
My goal is always to provide attentive, responsible care while ensuring your pet’s needs are met
appropriately and safely.
