Pet Services

Here are some of the services offered by A Furry Vacation

Dog Sitting

It’s hard to leave your fur baby or babies when you have to go out of town for business, pleasure or necessity, but the knowledge that someone will be there taking care of them in their own home while you are away, is invaluable. Whether you’re gone a couple of days, a week or an extended period of time, I’m available to give your pet the love, care, attention and exercise it needs.

Standard dog sitting is 2-3 visits a day; one in the morning, afternoon (if needed),  and one in the evening, 30 – 45 minutes each.

During the morning visit, your pet will be fed, watered, exercised and loved on. Any overnight accidents will be cleaned up and your baby will be spot cleaned or brushed as needed. Your home will be walked through, lights will be turned off, blinds opened and plants taken out or watered.

If you choose to schedule an afternoon visit, I will take them for a short 10 minute potty walk. Everyone could use a mid-day potty break.

During evening visits, your pet will be fed, watered, exercised and loved on. Your mail and newspapers will be picked up, delivered packages will be brought in, lights turned on, plants will be cared for and any “accidents” or issues will be handled. I will keep their daily routine as same as possible.

Daily Dog Walking

Getting your dog out of house for a few minutes during the day is not only good for your floors, but good for your pets overall well being, too. Taking a short 15-30 minute walk is great for their cardiovascular health, heart health, joints and muscles and most importantly, their attitude! Based on your fur babies needs, we’ll either walk fast or jog or stroll or ramble. We’ll always stop and “smell the flowers”, check out the neighborhood and say Hello to everyone. Everyone will be happy, feel good and have a big smile on their face when we go back home.

Cat Sitting

I love cats! I’m the proud owner of 4 myself! Bring raised with and having raised my own, I have a unique understanding of cats, their personalities and their needs. Some just want to be loved on and some just want to be seen and not bothered. Whether you have a kitten that needs to be hugged on, played with and rocked to sleep or an older cat that just needs to be feed, given fresh water and the litter box scooped, I will make sure your baby feels loved and cared for while you’re away. Depending upon the level of need, daily visits will average from 30 to 45 minutes. House sitting times are totally different.

Overnight and Extended Stay Sitting

For the times you absolutely have to be gone, either over night, a few days, a week or for an extended period of time, do not stress: I can help you.

I will schedule an appointment with you to review everything that needs to be handled for your home and go over detailed information concerning your fur babies routine, so I can keep their day as normal as possible during your absence. Prices will be determined by daily requirements and the number of fur babies to be cared for.

Standard overnight stays – I will arrive at your home between 8-9 pm (earlier times can be arranged if needed) or when my last sitting for the day is complete. I will stay with your fur babies until between 8-9 am the next day when I leave for my next appointment. Basic rates and can be combined with evening daily sitting for a complete overnight package, including standard daily /nightly care.

Weekend sitting will be complete 24 hour coverage unless other arrangements agreed to. If only 12 hour coverage is required, pricing will be adjusted.

Weekly or extended stays entailing me moving into your home, will require custom pricing.

Holidays, additional pets and home requirements will incur additional charges.
