I ensure a calm environment during the episode, providing gentle care and attention until the episode subsides and pampering them afterward to help them feel secure and loved.
Home Care Services
In addition to caring for your pets, I can bring in your mail and packages, ensuring nothing is left outside to attract unwanted attention.
I also offer to water gardens and perform outdoor tasks, with the first 30 minutes included in the visit.
Additional time is charged at $20 per 30-minute increment.
Laundry and Cleaning
If your pet has an accident, I am equipped to handle laundry tasks, washing bedding, or pee pads to maintain a clean and fresh environment. I use appropriate cleaning supplies to tackle messes on various surfaces, from carpets to hardwood floors, ensuring they are stain-free and undamaged.
Personal Errand Service
Should your pets need additional supplies during my visits, like wet food or bird seed, I can make runs to pick up these items. I charge for the cost of the items plus a nominal fee for the time and travel, similar to service delivery fees. For example, if I spend an hour driving to pick up and purchase $30 worth of supplies, I will charge a total of $40.
Comprehensive Pet Updates
Each visit includes detailed updates to keep you informed about your petâs day.
I provide photos and a summary of our activities, noting both the highlights and any challenges. I’m committed to transparency, so I report all behavior honestly, including any accidentsâthis not only explains any additional charges but also helps you gauge if veterinary attention might be needed upon your return.
Alongside this, I share the companionship activities I engage in with your pet, like reading to them, to ensure they feel loved and cared for.
