SERVICES
Pet Sitting
Services you can come to expect when I provide an in-home sit:
Fresh food and water.
Pets are fed as you specify.
Food bowls containing dry food are washed daily.
Bowls containing wet food are washed after every meal. Water bowls are washed daily.
Playing, exercising and walking your pet.
Individualized love and attention is important while you're away. I allow adequate time to provide each pet with the necessary personal loving and snuggle time. Therefore, multiple pet or multi-species households must allow additional time per visit. Single pet households require a minumum of 30 minutes per visit for a quality visit.
Changing litter box and pet mess cleanup.
Litter boxes are cleaned daily (but I cannot guarantee I will build any sandcastles) :0)
The floors are cleaned and treated appropriately after each accident.
Grooming.
Brushing and combing.
Nail trimming and bathing available at additional cost.
(Southern Illinois Pet Sitters reserves the right not to groom any difficult pet to avoid unnecessary stress to pet - or sitter!)
Medications and Wellness Care.
Giving injections, oral or topical medications, vitamins, or other previously prescribed treatments. There is no additional charge for this service.
Home Upkeep. Upon your return, you should find your home as clean and neat - or sometimes even better - than was when I arrived for my assignment.
Boarding
1) Limited to small breed dogs under 20 pounds. We cannot board non-potty trained puppies.
2) Owner must provide the following:
- Crate
- Toys
- Bedding
- Food and food bowls
- Proof of current vaccinations: DHPP (Distemper/Parvo), Rabies and Bordatella (Kennel Cough). Requirement will vary depending on age of dog.
Note: Owner administered DHPP vaccines will not be acceptable. We do not do any vaccinations here.
3) Your pet will be crated when I am on a pet sitting assignment and given walks and snuggle time when I am home.
4) Potty time will be at least 3 times daily.
5) Play time with my dogs available only if it appears the mix is appropriate. I will not endanger your pet - or mine. I have seen too many injured animals come into the vet hospital as a result of too "much" socialization with other dogs.
6) Pick up and drop off times limited to those convenient to my schedule and my household.
7) I reserve the right to refuse to board if you suspect, or I believe, your dog will be barking the entire time while here.
8) I do not have the facilities to bathe your dog. I can, however, transport your dog for bathing to a local groomer or veterinarian. See right side for bathing requirements and rates.
Services you can expect include:
Bringing in your mail, newspapers, and deliveries.
Bringing trash to the curb.
Watering your indoor or outdoor plants.
Simple pool and pond care, such as adding chlorine.
Basic security checks — adjusting lights, drapes, music, etc.
Custom convenience requests and other minor household tasks (time allowing). However, additional time required will be charged at the rates to the right.
