Pet Sitting Information & Fee Schedule
For many of us, it is very stressful trying to decide what to do with our pets while we are away. Most pets fair better in their own environments and this seems especially true of cats. Some pet's have medical conditions that can be exacerbated with stress, therefore staying in their own home is the best option to help reduce anxiety. But regardless of what kind of animal your friend is, you want the best for them while you are away. All services are provided by Shelley Brew, a Registered Animal Health Technician (Veterinary Nurse). I know you don't want just 'anybody' looking after your family so.....

4 Legged Friendzy will come to your home and take care of your pet's needs (food, water, exercise, litterboxes, etc.) have a play and/or snuggle, and perform any veterinarian prescribed treatments. Dogs will receive walks to help burn off any extra energy and give them a good opportunity to relieve themselves. For dogs, exercise is essential while you are away, it helps to combat stress and ensure you come home to a happy, content friend. In addition, we will water any indoor plants or outdoor pots, pick up your mail, rotate lights, open/close blinds and take out the garbage/recycling. I am flexible with my pet sitting visits. Some of my clients want 1 hour visits, while others want a full morning visit and then a quick check-in later in the day. I respect that no one knows your pet better than you and we can set up the best schedule for your pet while you are away.
Please note that all my pet sitting prices are based on time only. I do not charge additional fees for medical treatments or additional animals, provided they can all be adequately cared for in the time allowed. I also require a comprehensive questionnaire to be filled out to ensure I am up to date on your pet's current health and your emergency contact information (of course).
I also offer Therapeutic Visits for pets recovering from surgery or medical conditions. Click on the link to find out more.
I am happy to answer any questions you may have and I will provide references upon request.
