Happy Critter Care Services & Fees

 

Happy Critter Care

I will follow your pet care routine per your instructions, including feeding, watering, exercising and administering any medication your pet might require. And most importantly, I will snuggle and play with your pet at every opportunity!

I also provide basic home care services while you're gone, such as bringing in newspapers, flyers and mail, watering plants, setting out or taking in trash receptacles. Mainly it's me, Chrisi, that will be meeting you and caring for your pets. On occasion I may have a helper, my husband or son, who I have full confidence in and if needed you will have the opportunity to meet them in person too.

I always appreciate notes and instructions. No need to feel as though you're bugging me or a pest if you call me a few times during the day. Feel free to call me as many times as you like while I'm staying at your home.

I'll give you a call when I first arrive and just before I go if this would make you more comfortable. I really do not mind.

I am very happy with the way pet loving owners want to make sure everything is "just so". I think pet and animal lovers are the BEST people on the planet - don't you?

Day & Night:

$65.00 - $70.00 Fee is based on location. Day and night service hours are determined according to your needs. Half day fees may apply if you need me to arrive before 5:00 pm or stay after 9:00 am. I am always willing to work out the hours for arrival and departure as some clients like to leave early during the day and or return late at night.

Extra Fees: Please call to receive an estimate on extra time and travel allowances.

Daily Visits:

$20.00 per visit depending on location and the size of your pet family. During my visit I'll feed and water your pets, including administering any special medications. I'll snuggle, play and love your pets during my visiting time too. For those clients outside our local Redding area there is a small travel fee.

For our clients in the Redding area only. Locations over 20 minutes from my home I recommend overnights or day and night stays.

Extra Fees: If you would like me to stay a bit longer, Just add $10.00 per extra 1 hour visit.

Extended Day Visit: 3 - 9 hrs, $30.00 - $60.00. Please call for estimate. An extended day visit may mean I come at 9:00am and leave at 5:00pm. If you have a sick pet or one that needs more attention while you're away at work, this may be the right thing for you.

Play & Exercise:

$24.00 per visit/walk. If your dog would enjoy a brisk 20 minute walk, we offer a 20 minute walk or play time. This includes a daily food and water visit if needed. The 20 minute walk or playtime does not start until after those chores are finished. Please call for availability. Extra travel fees may apply.

Pet Boarding:

$10.00-$15.00 per day. Caged pets, such as a mouse, hamster, rabbit, rat, or guinea pig are welcome. If you want to board a pet such as this with me, it must be in good health, and not an escape artist such as rats, mice and hamsters can be. I know, I've enjoyed many different fluffy Houdini's in my days. Please call to see if I have room. I have a limited amount of space I can offer for these pets. While in my care they will receive daily cleanings and fresh food and water.

I do not provide the fresh cage bedding, food, or veggies. You'll need to prepare a little vacation package for these little pet visitors while they stay with me.

Holiday Reservations:

As you may suspect the busiest time of year would be the holiday season. We are actually available during these times. It would be a good idea to book your time early. I require a non-refundable deposit to be made for bookings during the holiday season only. The deposit is deducted from your fee if you do keep your reservation. The amount of the deposit is based on a $15.00 per day holding fee. So, if you're booking an entire week (7 days), your deposit would need to be $105.00. The remainder of my fee is due upon the day of my arrival.

Initial Interview: I am happy to come and meet with you and your pets before hand. Simply call for an appointment.
