Stays also include any house care such as plant watering and bringing in mail.
Rates:
$125 per night for first two pets
$20 per each additional dog
*Nominal additional fee for extra cats or small animals
“Almost Overnight” Staycations
We've found that many pets prefer quality time with us during the daytime hours over sleeping time (though we certainly love the nighttime snuggles). As a result, we've made an almost overnight package that gives your pets more time for fetch, walks, and cuddles before bed, letting them peacefully sleep the night away until morning. *This package works best for adult dogs that sleep uninterrupted through the night. Almost overnights start at $105 per day and include:
One hour long AM visit first thing in the morning for breakfast, playtime/walk, and any other needs your specific household has. We will bring in the morning paper, turn off porch lights, open blinds for the day, and any other household requests you have!
One daytime half hour check-in. Perfect for a midday walk or an early dinner and some playtime.
A 2 hour evening visit for getting evening zoomies out, a sunset stroll, dinnertime if still needed, all the way through that final potty break before bed. We will again take care of turning blinds, turning lights on/off, and this is the perfect visit to take care of additional pets in the home such as fish, small animals, or scheduling a deep clean of your litterboxes!
Additional visits or walks may be added at their standard rates
*All visit time blocks are flexible to fit with you and your pets' schedules. Default times for each visit are the 6-8am arrival window for morning visit, 12-2pm window for midday check in, and 6-8pm arrival window for evening sessions. Visits will not begin before 6am or end later than 10pm unless necessary for specific medical needs.
*Almost overnights are a $130 value if visits were booked individually as a la carte services
*Additional fees may be assessed for households with more than 3 pets or multiple small animal habitats
