Additional Services

Please see below for a list of our Additional Services and applicable fees.

Extended Care - Hotel Stay
Traveling with your fur baby and staying at a pet-friendly hotel can be a great advantage!  But, did you know most hotels will require you to sign a waiver indicating you will NOT leave your pets unattended during your stay!!  That's a pretty BIG DEAL when most travel to actually explore the city, visit family/friends, etc. and NOT stay at the hotel the entire time!  

Not to worry!  Our Extended Care Service has been very popular since it was first introduced in 2007! You can enjoy your dinner (off site), convention, wedding, sporting event, concert, etc. while our Pet Sitters come through to pet sit in the hotel.  We will take care of the feeding, watering, playtime, dog walks, litter scooping, medication management, TLC, cuddles, and more!!  You can be worry free away knowing your pets are in the BEST care! 

 

Stray Animals
It can sometimes be difficult to care for your Furry Loved Ones and completely ignore those animals that do not have a home. Well, while you are away we will gladly take care of the stray(s). We will, however, ONLY provide provision for food and water.

Please note, stray animals will NOT be under contract and will NOT be covered under our insurance and bonding. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

 

Medication
We are able to administer medications, vitamins and provide other special requested care for your pets (i.e. insulin shots, etc.). However, due to the stress on animal(s), we may opt to ONLY administer medicine orally.  If, in the opinion of our pet sitter, more harm than good will result from administering medication, the animal will not receive the medicine.

 

Pet Taxi
At your request, we will escort your pet(s) to and from the vet, grooming parlor, airport or anywhere they need to go! For vet visits, we will represent you and even provide you with a report of their instructions.

Our Pet Taxi provides full pickup and delivery service and we promise to work very hard to ensure that your Furry Loved ones have a safe and comfortable ride.

Pet Taxi Guidelines

• Each Client taking advantage of the Pet Taxi service will be charged for either the Pet Taxi One Way fee or the Pet Taxi Round Trip fee.  Additional mileage fees may apply.  Please see below under "Calculating Mileage"
• There is no additional charge for multiple pets, however, the number of pets transported together is limited based on their size and safe vehicle operations.  Multiple trips to transport large families will incur a new Base Rate and new Travel Surcharges.
• Pet Taxi rates are inclusive for the pick-up and drop-off only. If “Wait Time” is required, the client will be billed at the Standard 30 Minute Visit Rate (i.e. $16 every 30 minutes)
• Leaving and returning at a later time will incur a new Base Rate and Travel Surcharge.
• MapQuest.com is used to calculate all mileage driven.

Calculating Mileage

• Mileage (No Charge) - If the initial Pick-up location is the Client’s home or the Sitter's home (if Privately Boarding), you will not be charged the Mileage fee.  If the Pick-up location is NOT one of the two locations noted above, please see below.
• Mileage (Surcharge) – If the initial Pick-up location is NOT the Client or Sitter's home (if Privately Boarding), mileage will be calculated from the office or Sitter's home to the pick-up destination.  The first 3 miles of the trip are free of charge and each mile over the first 3 will incur a $0.75/mile surcharge.
• Mileage (Surcharge) - After the initial pick-up, mileage will always be calculated when your sitter transports your pet to additional destinations.  This includes back to the Client's home or Sitter's home (if Privately Boarding).  The first 3 miles of each trip are free of charge and each mile over the first 3 will incur a $0.75/mile surcharge
