Drop-In Visit — $20

A brief drop-in visit in a pet sitting service typically involves a pet sitter visiting the client's home for a short period of time to check on the well-being of the pets. The specific tasks included in a brief drop-in visit may vary depending on the client's needs and the type of pets involved, but common activities might include:

  1. Feeding: Providing food and water to the pets according to the owner's instructions.
  2. Bathroom Breaks: Letting dogs out to relieve themselves or cleaning litter boxes for cats.
  3. Exercise: Spending a short amount of time playing with or exercising the pets to keep them active and stimulated.
  4. Medication Administration: Administering any necessary medications or supplements as directed by the owner.
  5. Basic Grooming: Brushing fur, cleaning ears, or other simple grooming tasks as needed.

  7. Security Check: Ensuring that the home is secure and there are no signs of any problems.
  8. Communication: Providing updates to the pet owner via text, email, or a written note to inform them of the visit and the well-being of their pets.

The purpose of a brief drop-in visit is to provide basic care and attention to the pets while their owners are away, ensuring that they are happy, healthy, and safe until the owners return.

For Walks and Cat/Drop-in Visits, we focus on the Wicker Park and Bucktown neighborhoods. For Daycare and Boarding, we can accommodate the pets from anywhere in the Chicago Area, as long as they do both drop-off/pick-up, since this service is only available locally for Wicker Park/Bucktown.

Additional Fees

Additional Pets on Walks ⇨ +$5

Charging extra for additional pets during dog walking services compensates for the increased time and effort needed to manage multiple animals simultaneously. Handling multiple dogs requires more attention, leash management, and potential adjustments to the walk, justifying the additional fee. It ensures fair pricing for clients with multiple dogs and allows the walker to sustain their business while delivering quality care to all pets.

Weekend Fee for Services ⇨ +$5

We offer weekend pet services to accommodate your busy schedule and ensure your furry friends receive the care they deserve, even on Saturdays and Sundays. We charge extra for weekend services to account for the increased demand, flexibility, and to maintain a balance between supply and demand. Rest assured, your pet's well-being is our top priority, and we're dedicated to providing the same level of care and attention on weekends as we do on weekdays.

Miscellaneous Tasks ⇨ +$5

These tasks include brushing pet, various cleaning services, and administering medication.

Holidays ⇨ $20

Holidays included: New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Week, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Additional Pets on Daycare ⇨ +$30

This additional fee accounts for the increased resources, such as food, water, and space, needed to accommodate multiple animals. It also reflects the heightened workload involved in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, ensuring fairness to both the pet care provider and other clients. Moreover, the extra charge supports the quality of care by preventing overcrowding and allowing staff to focus on the individual needs of each pet. Additionally, it helps cover the increased liability and insurance costs associated with caring for multiple animals, ensuring a safe environment for all pets in the facility. Overall, this pricing structure ensures that pet care providers can maintain high-quality care while appropriately compensating for the additional resources and effort required to accommodate multiple pets.
