The Basics
Our pet sitting and dog walking rates include care for up to two pets within the city of Lehi. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you are in a nearby city; my rate will be adjusted to account for additional driving time to/from your home. We can also discuss rates for additional pets based on the type of care required. Your pet sitting plan will be completely customized for you during our consultation. For drop-in visits and dog walks we will schedule the visit for a three-hour window of time so that I can accommodate as many pets as possible and manage the schedule with the most efficient route.
All dog visits include fresh water and fresh food (depending on the pet’s normal feeding schedule), potty time and waste management, outdoor walk or play time, administration of any required medication, and anything else arranged during your consultation. All cat visits include fresh water and food (depending on the pet’s normal feeding schedule), litterbox maintenance, individual play time or cuddles, administration of any required medication, and anything else arranged during your consultation. I do require all cats to be kept indoors for the duration of your trip. I understand this may be different than your cat’s regular schedule but animals often react differently when their owners are gone and I wouldn’t want your cat to become distressed and get injured or go missing.
I offer a few complimentary services with multi-day pet sitting reservations. We will discuss your wishes during our consultation but I am happy to bring in mail and packages, put out or bring in trash cans, turn lights on/off, water plants and open/close blinds. Any add-on cleaning services can be discussed as well.
It is important that you notify me when you arrive back home from your trip so that I know your pet is continuing to receive care. A quick text is the easiest way to let me know you’ve arrived back home. If I do not receive this notification I will attempt to reach out to your or your emergency contact. If necessary I will continue to visit your pet to make sure their needs are met. Additional visits will incur additional charges at the normal rate.
I cannot accept liability for other people inside the home prior to, during or after my visits. I will need notification in writing of anyone else who will have access to the home during your reserved time (this includes family members, neighbors, house cleaners, etc…)
Making a Reservation
All new clients must schedule a free consultation. I can be reached via phone, text, email or submit a request through this site. I’m happy to answer any questions and if we decide to move forward we will set up an in-person meeting at your home. During that visit I will meet your pets, you can show me where you keep pet supplies and explain your pet’s routines to me. We will develop a care schedule for your trip or weekly needs and I can give you a detailed price quote following that meeting. I will have you fill out an authorization form (in case of a health emergency), sign our pet sitting agreement, we will discuss payment and I will need to obtain two forms of entry to the home. Your reservation will be confirmed upon receipt of a 50% deposit.
Repeat clients may contact me via phone, text, email or submit a request through the website to schedule subsequent appointments.
We recommend requesting your reservation approximately one month in advance for drop-in pet sitting but please note that major holidays tend to book up quite early.
Payment and Cancellation Policies
We require a 50% deposit to schedule your service. The remaining balance is due upon completion of service. We currently accept payment via cash or venmo.
This deposit is fully refundable up to 48 hours prior to the beginning of your service. Cancellations with less than 48-hours notice forfeit 50% of the deposit amount. We do not offer refunds for any services cancelled within 72 hours of a major holiday1. All pre-paid, discounted packages are non-refundable.
