While You Were Out offers you the convenience of going on vacation without worrying about what will happen to your pets. Competitively priced with kennels and other services, your pet is taken care of at your house or at mine with their routines in mind. The benefits of this service includes care at your house or mine, daily walks, daily feedings and playing. Your pet will not be kenneled unless that is how you prefer him/her to be during the day. If they are "dog friendly" and weather permits, they often enjoy romps at the dog park and are brushed when taken care of for a week or more.
Daily Rates (discounts available with one week or more stay):*
At my house: $15/day
At your house: $25/day
Additional pets: $10/per pet per day
Additional walks: $5/day
Special Needs: Dependent on care
*When at your house, traveling costs may be applied.

FAQ
How long have you been doing this?
I have over 4 years experience house sitting for cats and dogs.
Why is there such a difference in rates for at my place and at yours?
I live relatively close to work, so it's easier for me to check on pets over lunch this way. I also still must go home every day to check on my pet, so the higher cost helps cover gas.
What do day rates include?
Both rates include: 2 walks a day (short one in the AM, long one in the PM), up to 2 feedings a day, and 3 "outsides"
Rates at your place also include plant watering. Please note, I am not a maid though. The rates do not include cleaning your house, doing your dishes, etc. If you would like this as an additional service it can be worked into the contract for an additional feed.
Rates may include (but not guaranteed): Trips to the dog park, grooming, bathing, etc.
Will you stay at my place?
If you would like me too, yes I will.
When is payment due?
Half the payment is due before you leave, the rest with in two days of your return.
How much notice do you need?
It helps to have at least a four week heads up; however, I've been known to take on last minute pets if my schedule is free.
Does anyone help you?
Yes! If I am not available, I also have two other dog watchers that can help care for your pets at the same rates that I charge.
Are there any discounts?
Of course!
Discounts are available for more than a weeks stay, good clients, referrals and promotions.
