Drop In Visits

Choose Your Visit Length

Every visit includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, medication, and a photo update. Doesn't matter which tier you pick.

Standard Visit

20 Minutes

$20per visit

Feeding, fresh water, a potty break, playtime, and a photo update. If you need a bit more time, I offer 25 and 30 minute visits as well. Just mention it when you reach out.

Extended Visit

45 Minutes

$35per visit

Good for dogs that need a real walk, not just a bathroom break. If 45 minutes isn't enough, we can go longer. Just let me know upfront.

Need more than 45 minutes? I offer hourly packages from 1 to 12 hours. See below.

Overnight Stay

7 PM to 7 AM

$75per night

I stay at your home overnight so your pet is never alone. Your home is respected, your pets are calm, and you travel without worry. Coverage runs 7 PM to 7 AM with flexible timing; hours beyond that window are billed at the hourly rate.

Evening & morning routines
All feedings & medications

What about multiple pets?

A couple pets in one household? No extra charge. That's totally normal. The additional pet fee only kicks in for larger groups (think 5-6+ pets). We'll figure out what makes sense for your situation when you call.

Pricing Questions

Do you charge extra for weekends?

Nope. Standard rates apply every day of the week. The only time you'll see a surcharge is on major holidays.

Why are your rates higher than some other sitters?

Because I'm not just running out for five minutes and leaving. I'm there, paying attention, following your routine. You can call me if something comes up. That's worth more than the cheapest option out there.

Is medication administration really included at no extra charge?

Yes, always. Pills, liquids, eye drops, insulin. Whatever your pet needs. I'll never charge extra for medication. It's part of the visit.

What if I need you for longer than 5 hours?

Just give me a call and we'll work something out. I'm always flexible and happy to create a custom schedule that works for you.

Do you offer discounts for regular clients?

Yes. The monthly recurring package is $180 for 10 standard visits, which works out to $18 a visit instead of $20. You also get priority scheduling and a guaranteed spot on my calendar. Call me if you want to set something up.

What payment methods do you accept?

Cash, check, Venmo, or Cash App. Payment is due at the time of service or at the end of a booking period for longer stays.

Is there a cancellation fee?

Last minute cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled visit are subject to a $10 fee. For overnights, cancellations made within 24 hours are subject to a $25 fee since that time was fully committed. I understand things come up, so just reach out as soon as you know.

Ready to Book?

Call or text me. I'll come meet your pets before the first visit. No charge. We'll figure out what works.
