Olive by the fire

As of May 2022, we are no longer taking new clients for in-home pet sitting.

We continue to offer boarding for rabbits and small exotics in our home. Visit our Bun and Breakfast service for rates and details.


Your situation is unique, so it’s hard to come up with a list of petsitting services and rates that apply to everyone. We try to be flexible based on what your animal requires to be happy and comfortable. We take into consideration location, number of animals, special care, time range of care needed, and the like to create a rate specific to what you need. Here are a few examples to show what we can offer. Please do not hesitate to contact us for a quote particular to your needs.

General Notes

  • We are insured and licensed.
  • Yes, we absolutely want to hear from you if you have an animal other sitters won’t take on, like a dog with some aggression issues or a sick rabbit. People that commit to challenging animals and provide them loving homes deserve respite and vacations too, and trust me, we understand!!!
  • Holiday rates are higher. We hate to do this, but we have our own family, and holiday time is precious! We appreciate your understanding.
  • Some of our proceeds (and time!) go toward care of foster and rescue animals in and outside of our home. We strongly believe in making positive contributions to our community’s homeless animals.

Cats

An example of care we provide for cats: Visit your home, feed wet and dry food, change litterbox, brush the cats, hang out with them, take in your mail, check the house, turn on lights, take garbage to the curb, etc. Approximate time per visit is 20-30 minutes. We can add more time, if needed.

Rate: Approx $25-30 per visit, depending on location.

Dogs

An example of care we provide for one dog: Take your dog for a walk visit, play, feed, brush, take in your mail, check your house, turn on lights, take garbage to the curb, etc. Approximate time per visit is 30-45 minutes, depending on location. We can add more time, if needed.

Rate: Approx $25-35 per visit, depending on location and time.

Boarding: We can not board dogs at our house, only bunnies.

Dog Walking

A half hour to 45 minute walk is usually $25-30 depending on location, and an hour walk is $30-35, depending on location. I can also move packages inside or check things in your house while I am there.

Overnights

Need a reliable, dependable professional to stay in your home overnight? Email me for more info. Since it’s just me, dates are limited. Rates are between $60-$70 per night depending on location and requirements.

Bunnies and other small animals—reptiles, birds, etc.

We can care for many small animals, either in our home or in your home. Visit our Bun and Breakfast service for rates and details. For reptiles, birds and other small mammals, call or email us to discuss.
