Aunt Judith's Pet Sitting Services

For your pets:

I will make food for your cats and dogs according to your special recipes
and specifications, and offer it to them when and where they usually eat,
and clean their bowls.

I will give them treats of your choice, if you like.

I will give them fresh water and clean the water bowl every visit.

Dog walking -- I walk the dogs wherever it is that they customarily walk with
their people, so that they have the feeling of safety and security that
comes from being in familiar territory.

I offer individual dog play and exercise sessions in your fenced yard, using
their favorite toys and games, and I can bring a ball or toy if you like.

I have cat toys that I can bring to entertain your cats.

I can reinforce their training by practicing basic skills, such as sit, stay,
come, down, heel, etc.

I can administer oral medication, vitamins, and dietary supplements,
according to your instructions.

I will brush or comb your pets, if you like.

I will change or scoop the cat litter as often as requested.

I will pick up your dog's poop while we walk, or while we are in your fenced
yard.

I can take your animal companions to your vet, if necessary.

I always give lots of caring, affectionate attention: petting, hugs,
sweet-talking, quality time with your animal friends.

For your home:

I can bring in your mail and newspapers.

I will water your house plants and garden, if you like.

I can alter your lights and curtains to make it look like someone's home.

I will do a quick safety check of your property.

For you:

Ask about errands. I may be able to pick up items such as dog and cat
food, cat litter, dog poop bags, and medication, on the way to your house
when I visit your pets.

If you'd like a portrait of your pet, I would be glad to do that. Ask to see
samples of my work, and we can discuss the fee.

If you are out of town, I can provide regular updates by phone, voice
mail, or email about what happened during each visit, and if you
want to see a photo of your pet to reassure yourself that she or he is OK, I
can email a digital photo of your animal friend to you. Alternatively, I can
leave you written reports about your pet and our visits together.

Something else? Just ask.

Aunt Judith's Pet Sitting is an in-your-home
service. While you are away, I will come to your home and care
for both your home and your pets. I can visit twice a day as
required, and a visit can last as long as you like, up to 5 hours,
with advance notice. Fees start at $13 and generally range
between $16 to $20 per visit, depending on your location,
length of visit, and the complexity of care required.

Whether you need last minute animal care, occasionally work
long hours, are usually away on certain days, need regular daily
or weekly care, go away for the weekend, a day trip, or on a
longer vacation, we can arrange pet sitting visits to suit your
schedule.

I tailor all services and visits to your specifications. Before my
first pet sitting visit, I'll want to meet with you and your animal
companions in your home. I will interview you about your dog's
or cat's routines, personalities, health, likes and dislikes, and
get thorough instructions from you on what they'll need or want
during my visits. I pay careful attention to getting to know each
animal so I can personalize the visits to the individual cat's or
dog's needs. Together we will set up a schedule and care plan
that fits your and your pet's needs.

Below I have listed the most common services most people
require. However, I can personalize a plan that will meet your
and your pets requirements.
