                 Dog Walking & Daily Care Services               

Dog Walking - Daily or Weekly dog walks or playtime

Dog walking services include pet walking, midday feedings, stuck at the office relief.

Daily Care is available to those families whose pets need some special time in the middle of our busy work days.  Daily Care includes all of the same features of regular pet sitting, but can be used on a last minute or planned-in-advance basis.  

How often does your puppy need a break?  The average puppy should not be left alone more than 4 hours.  A puppy left alone for longer periods of time, or frequently, will develop personality problems or annoying habits which can become severe (more pets are put to sleep for potty related behavior problems than for other reason!).

Some other pets can go 8, 10, or even 12 hours without a potty break.  However, most pets will be susceptible to urinary tract infections, separation anxiety, excessive chewing (on self & home), frequent barking, "dirty puppy" syndrome (thinking it is 'ok' to go inside the home), and other problems when left alone for long periods of time.

Our dog walking service is designed to allow you to go to work or away from home without worrying about your pet.  We also walk provide exercise for your pet if you are too busy to or unable to walk your pet regularly.  The basic visit charge includes all of the following services - you simply need to note which ones you'd like preformed during your initial consultation.

                 Visit Options               

Please plan to provide adequate time to care for your pet during each visit.

Initial Booking Consultation 90 Min At this visit you will have the chance to interview the pet sitter to make sure the sitter is a good match for your pet.  Then we can complete the necessary paperwork, transfer keys, and tour your home while discussing detailed instructions on how to care for your pets.  Minimum 35 minutes.  Free (One visit).

Please plan to complete this meeting 48 hours prior to service.
Extended Visit 45 Min Best for long walks, multiple pet homes, and pets with special diets or other special needs.  Good for horses & hobby farms, or outside watering.  Minimum 40 Minutes.
Regular Visit 30 Min Average 30 minutes, with a 25 minute guaranteed minimum stay.  A regular visit leaves plenty of time for a nice walk.
Value Visit 20 Min Short visit can be used as a quick turnout or potty break, or a 3rd feeding.   A value visit allows for a good walk if no feedings or other tasks are also required.  Minimum 15 Minutes.
Holidays   Holidays are automatically unscheduled from your regular walking schedule, since most dailies are home at this time.  However, if you'd like to add holiday Vacation service, there is no extra holiday fee for regular dog walking clients who regularly book 3 or more visits per week.

                Travel Fees               

 

Travel fees may apply to your visits.  Our regular daytime clients are spread throughout Pewaukee, Delafield, Wales, and Oconomowoc areas.  We will use the time of day that you prefer to have a walk, along with the distance to your home in order to calculate your travel fee.  Most daytime clients is have no travel fee.  Please call to have us calculate the travel feel for your needs.

 

            Additional Items                

Special Services - Can be added during regular care, or after

The following services may be available each for a small additional charge to a regular visit, or as a stand alone service (varies with amount of time required, and difficulty of task).

  • Client Key transfer, drop off, pick up, or mail ($3)

  • Key transfer, sitter drop off or pick up ($10+travel)

  • Baths for large animals or extra messy messes


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


* 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.
