works out MUCH better for their pets than overnights.
Special Services - Can be added during regular
care, or after

small additional charge to a regular visit, or as a stand alone

Additional Fees - Charged as needed
An additional fee or extra visit may be charged for
each service that must be preformed in the case of
"significant/hard-to-clean accidents", emergencies, or other special
situations. Happy At Home may or may not attempt to contact owners or obtain
permission before providing these services.
Emergency Vet Taxi and/or Vet Office Care-Taking
"Accidents" or problems that require very
difficult clean-up
Our regular pet sitting hours are 8:00 am to
10:00pm. We rarely accept appointments outside of this
range, but any appointments that we do accept as early as 7:00am
or as late as 11:00 pm will be charged at a rate of $3 extra per
visit. Please remember, we work all day long and need time
to sleep also - so we are selective about accepting early morning
and late night visits.
* Note: Time ranges are minimums & averages only -
your pet sitter may stay 5-90 minutes longer (no extra charge) to
leave notes and perform other tasks.
All rates are based on a "reasonable" number of pets
/ large animals and responsibilities, as well has the temperaments
of each pet and the way the pets interact with each other. We will
attempt to do as many requested activities in the time provided
during each visit, prioritized in the order specified by you. We
may or may not attempt to contact you if we find more time is needed than
originally planned and we will add it as needed. We very
rarely find we need more time than originally planned.
While we strive to keep the rates posted on this
page accurate, the rates listed are not guaranteed and may change.
Contact a Happy At Home Pet Sitter for current rates.
