In-Home Pet Sitting

General Rate Information in-home pet sitting:

The below rates are considered “general rates.” Actual rates may vary depending upon where you live, how many pets you have, the exact services you require and how much clean up is involved. Please see “Policies & Procedures for In-Home Pet Sitting” Page for important information you need to know before using my pet sitting service.

Getting Acquainted: 

There is no charge for the initial consult visit required of all new pet sitting clients. This refers to our first time meeting as well as pet’s you acquire in the future that you may need me to meet for the first time. Any other visit that is not pertaining to a new pet made to your home will be charged a regular visit fee. This includes getting reacquainted with or receiving special care instructions for an old pet. Or, you may choose to simply call or email the new instructions.

 Key pick up/drop off: 

We will store your key indefinitely, at no additional charge in a secure facility. However, some clients prefer to have their key returned after each completed service. Keys will only be returned in person or thru certified mail for an extra charge of $16.00. However, if you choose to either hide your key each visit in a safe place at no responsibility of Heidi’s Historic Home & Pet Care, or drop the key off at my home, there would be no extra charge.

Over Three Pets:

As a general rule, I do not charge extra for additional pets over 3. However, rates will depend on the situation and time needed to care for all pets, as well as the mileage/distance to your home.

I must be notified of all pets in your household and all will be considered to be under my care unless other acceptable care has been provided. I usually don’t charge an extra fee for additional small caged pet’s such as: hamster, gerbil, bunny, bird, fish etc,. unless they require extra food preparation; cage cleaning or other special care other than general feedings and changing of water.
