The Stay
Your animals stay in their own home, on their own routine. I've been doing this for over a decade.
- Overnight, every night you're away
- Company through the day, not just at night
- Walks, outdoor time & play
- Feeding & medication as you direct
- Dogs & cats, one household at a time
- The same person, every booking
The house gets the same care — locked up, thermostat set, mail in, and left as you left it.
How It Works
Settled in advance, so nothing has to be improvised while you're away.
- A phone consultation and meet-and-greet, before anything is booked
- A signed veterinary authorization
- Access, contacts & times in writing
- Updates you don't have to ask for
- Problems told to you the morning they happen
- An invoice afterward, through Wave
Leave as much detail as you think relevant — it is always better for me to be over-prepared. The vet form is hopefully never needed, but it means care can start straight away rather than waiting on a phone call.
Rates
$100 a day — cats and up to two dogs.
- $25 a day for each additional dog
- Other species — let's talk
- No strict cancellation policy — as much notice as you can manage, and a deposit may be needed around school holidays
I employ a sliding fee scale, as I never want to turn away clients due to financial constraints. If this rate doesn't work for you, no worries — we can certainly discuss one that does.
I'd love to learn about your pets' care and personalities. Every booking begins with a complimentary phone consultation and meet-and-greet at your home. We'll go over all the critical care and contingency information then. I look forward to getting to know them and providing peace of mind while you're away. Please feel free to pose any questions that come to mind below.
