I like to think all things are possible as I continue to learn and grow. If there is a related service not listed here, please ask me. What I don’t know I am usually willing to learn. If something is not do-able by me, having lived here most of my life, I have many connections and I may be able to steer you in the right direction.

RATES AND FEES*
Due to the wide variety and combinations of clients’ service needs, fees are calculated on a very individual basis. However I have provided the following list as a good rule of thumb. Some things I consider are: number and types of pets, number of visits scheduled, travel time/distance and services requested. I always schedule a complimentary home visit prior to finalizing arrangements. This gives you and your pets the opportunity to meet me and to fully define their and your needs. We will also review and fill out necessary paperwork, confirm fees and I can answer any remaining questions.
*A minimal $1.00 per minute charge may be added to the basic rates below for each minute over 10 min drive time, one-way, from my home base in Grass Valley.
PET SITTING
PET WALKING
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
The additional service category is calculated much the same including a $.50 per mile service charge.
