Small Critter Visits
Starting at $20
Just need your fish fed, your guinea pig checked on or your canary whistled to? I'd be more than willing to help you out with that. More complicated care may incur additional fees.
A $5 fee will be added to weekend visits as well as visits made on major holidays. An additional $5 fee may be added for each additional type of small animal that also needs care within the same household (bird, hamster, etc).
Services only available in Newton (north of Rt 9), Waltham and Weston.
Discounts available for only needing fish fed, receiving 5 or more services per week, as well as for foster pets.
In-home Critter Sitting
$35 per night
Whether your have a 150 lb great dane or a 5 oz hamster, your pet is part of your family. And no family member likes to be left home alone while you're away on vacation. Just like walking the dogs and changing the cat's litter, I'll care for your smaller pet as if they were my own. Birds, mice, guinea pigs, pretty much anything! Price includes feeding, medication administration, lots of stimulation/play time, and unlimited TLC. I will also bring in your mail, water your plants, put out the trash and give your house a lived-in look for added security while you're away.
Services only available in Newton (north of Rt 9), Waltham and Weston.
A $10 fee will be added to overnights on major holidays. Additional fees may apply for other small pets in the house, depending on level of care needed (birds, turtles, etc).
Discounts available for stays lasting more than 7 days. Discounts also available for foster pets.
**Small critter overnight stays are available for non-smoking residences only.**
House sitting
$25 per night
Going away? Don't have any pets but still want your house to have that lived-in look from the outside while you're gone? Allow me to stay there to keep an eye on it. In addition, I'll also water your plants, collect your mail, take out the trash and attend to any other basic house maintenance that needs to be done.
An additional $5-10/night fee is applied to residences outside of Newton, Waltham and Weston. Feel free to contact me and ask if I'm available to service your area!
Discounts available for stays lasting longer than 7 nights.
**House sitting available for non-smoking residences only.**
Vet Visits
$55
Does your critter need to go see the vet because of a spider bite he got last night, but you can't get out of an important meeting at work? Or maybe Fido is as sick as a dog... and so are you. As long as the vet's office is within a reasonable distance, I'll happily pick up your pet and bring them to the vet for you! After the appointment, I'll return your pet - as well as any information, medication and forms - to your home or the location of your choosing.
An additional fee of $10 applies for each additional pet at the appointment as well as for weekend vet appointments.
(Note that some vet clinics require a written or verbal authorization beforehand for a non-owner to seek care for a pet.)
Pet Taxi
Starting at $20 (one way, within 8 miles)
Need to leave for the airport at 6:00 in the morning, but drop-off hours for Fido's kennel don't start until 8:00? Or maybe he has an appointment at the groomers that you are unable to get him to. Don't worry, I'll pick up your pets and safely transport them to where they need to be. No matter the reason, if your pets need a ride somewhere, I can help get them there.
Additional fees for a destination greater than 8 miles away. A fee of $10 applies for each additional pet as well as a fee of $5 for weekend taxi services.
Lockout Rescue
$15
If you're a regular client and have somehow managed to lock yourself out of your residence, feel free to call me for help. I can come over and let you in - preventing you from having to call an expensive locksmith or even from having to break your windows!
