What happens during a pet sitting visit?
A typical visit starts with your pet sitter's collecting of mail, delivered packages, and newspapers at any given time to assure security. Feedings and fresh water will be given to each pet according to your instructions. If medications are needed, these will be administered during this time as well. At this time, your sitter will travel out to your barn/or coop or other outside animal accomdations. Your sitter will prepare food and fresh water for your farm animals, while thoroughly examining each animal for any signs of injury or illness, giving proper attention to detail. If applicable, they will herd/transfer your animals to another pen/enclosure. The rest of the time left in the visit will be spent playing with and loving your pets! When the visit is ready to conclude, we make sure all food & play areas are cleaned up, and will exit your home making sure that everything is locked up properly.
What does a basic visit entail?
Each and every visit includes a cuddle/play time, fresh food/water, waste cleanup/disposal, a status update through text/email, as well as lots and lots of TLC. Also included free of charge for all visits is our 'lived-in appearance': mail/newspaper retrieval, watering of plants, taking out of trash/recycling, and rotation of lights/curtains. Have another task in mind? Just ask!
A half-hour visit usually runs anywhere from $15-$18, depending on your location.
