How does your house sitting work?
How our house sitting works is you'll let us know when you'd like us to move into your home and then when you'd like us to move out that last day before you arrive back home. We'll move into your home, sleep over, spend most of our free time taking care of your pup, and doing anything you need done around the house (bringing in the mail, watering plants, etc).
There might be times we need to leave your home to do other walks, run errands, etc, but we will never leave your pup for more than 5 hours at a time and no more than 8 hours in a day. We'll make sure your pup is fed during their normal feeding schedule, and we'll make sure they get plenty of walks and playtime while we're living in your home. We send lots of email or text updates (your choice) letting you know how the day went, and will include some fun pictures of how we spent our day playing. We try to make your time away as stress-free as possible.
Our house sitting services are $150/day and then there's a sliding scale for that last day when you get home depending on how long you need us to stay before you'll be home.
We have many great house sitters and always try to keep thing as consistent as possible, so we'll figure out what sitter works best for your needs and schedule, and will always ask them first when you need to schedule a house sitting. We set up an initial meeting with you and the house sitter so they can meet your pet and so you can go over everything with them. We also send a short questionnaire to new house sitting clients detailing the rules of your home so you and the house sitter are on the same page while they are staying in your home. If for some reason your usual sitter is unavailable during one of your subsequent schedule requests, we will find a suitable replacement and have them come over beforehand so you and your pup can meet them as well.
PLEASE NOTE: We do require a proper bed for our house sitters to sleep on. A couch or air mattress are unacceptable. We want to ensure our sitters are comfortable while they are living in your home!
