CAT VISITS*
$28 per visit for up to 2 cats; $5 each additional cat
Visits last 25 minutes each. Each cat owner can request specifics, depending on temperament of animals.
1x/day: Visits will be within a range of 24 hours apart. Order will say mid-day (11 a.m.), which means “anytime” for
cats. Sitters set their own schedules, unless there is a specific time request.
2x/day: Morning visits are between 8-11 a.m. Evening visits are between 4:30-8:30 p.m.
Specific time requests before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m. will incur a $10 surcharge
Client Updates: You should receive an electronic update within 3 hours of the visit. Please contact the office if you have not. Keep in mind that sitters sometimes send updates while en route to other clients, and are not necessarily reflective of timing at your home. Technology is imperfect, and remote/overseas locations can interfere; we recommend email updates for these situations.
CCDD is a daily cat visit service; we do not provide every-other-day or visits further than 24 hours apart.
DOG WALKS
$25 per walk for up to two dogs; $5 each additional dog
Dog walks last approximately 25-30 minutes. Each dog owner can request specifics depending on pet temperament, ie: for colder days, inside playtime instead of walking, etc. Additional time is billed in time increments of $25 per half hour.
Special Considerations: Dog walks before 8:00 a.m. and after 6:00 p.m. include a surcharge. Six hours’ notice is required for dog walk cancellations. If 6-hour notice is not given (especially if the walker at your home without notice), you will be charged for a standard 30-minute walk.
Early/Late Visit Surcharge (before 8 a.m. & after 6 p.m.) - $10
Client Updates: You should receive an electronic update within 3 hours of the visit. Please contact the office if you have not. Keep in mind that sitters sometimes send updates while en route to other clients, and are not necessarily reflective of timing at your home. Technology is imperfect, and remote/overseas locations can interfere; we recommend email updates for these situations.
OVERNIGHTS
Housesitting (Overnights) – $150 per evening
This service includes a sitter from 8-9 p.m. to 6-7 a.m. Includes two evening walks (one upon arrival and one bedtime dog walk) and one morning dog walk. A midday walk would be considered an additional walk. Overnights for cats are the same hours/charges. All-day housesitting is not available.
MEDICATIONS
At Cozy Cats & Daily Dogs, we pride ourselves on going above and beyond other pet care services by providing a variety of medications for your furry companions. Our knowledgeable and experienced staff can help you to provide after-vet care at a minimal charge:
Pills/Gels (Administration) – $6
Shots – $8
Hydration – $15
We know that administering medications to your furry friends is not always an easy task. That's why we ask that you let us know how you think your animal will behave. If you are not sure, we can do a trial run with you present first. If your animal needs more advanced assistance, we will let you know and direct you to other options, services, or care. Please don't hesitate to give us a call to discuss your pet’s special needs.
We also ask that medication details, including dosage and scheduling, be left on site at all times for the sitter to reference as needed (and in profile) to the office.
