Rate Information
This page contains a summary of the base rates for
Pets-at-Home Pet Sitting service options. Rates can vary because all visits are
tailored to each client’s needs and there are a number of variables
such as area of service, number of pets, extended time and specific
service requirements unique to each situation. Exact
fees will be established when the care plan is finalized during the
initial consultation visit. For full details on services included
with each option click on heading to take you to the appropriate
page.

A fuel surcharge of $1 visit may be
assessed when the cost of fuel reaches $3.00 per gallon.
Distance traveled factors into this surcharge. This is on top
of the base rate charged for service.

The $15.00 fee will be waived for pet sitting bookings of 5 or
more visits. I can no longer afford to absorb the costs
involved in meeting with a new client for less than a 5 visit reservation.

complete the service agreement there will be a $15.00
fee, or if just to pick up key a $10.00 fee will be imposed.
Charge for key pick up and drop off is $10.00. Fee waived for
initial service for new clients if key picked up at initial
consultation visit. You can avoid
this fee by having me keep your key on file for future service.
