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?

Daytime or Hotel Sitting: If you have a sick pet or one that needs more attention while you're away at work etc..., this may be the right thing for you.

Please call for pricing.

Snuggles Check Up: If you would like to have your pet visited for any reason, I am happy to visit them for a minimum of 30 minutes of snuggles, pets, kisses and attention. Sometimes pets have separation anxiety when their routine is interrupted due to situations beyond your control. If your pets are used to you being home all the time, and suddenly you are gone during many hours of the day, you may want to ease them into being home alone for long hours by having me come to your home to give them some loving attention.

$25.00 for 30 minutes of snuggles, kisses, and loving attention.

Initial Interview: I will meet with you and your pets before accepting any pet sitting job. Simply call for an appointment. On occasion my husband will take on a few pet sitting jobs. We both have excellent referrals and very happy clients.

Special Needs: If you have a special need. Please feel free to call me to see if I can help. I am very capable of taking care of many different needs. One of my clients has a dog with diabetes and requires shots daily. We have also cared for a large dog during hip surgery recovery on both hips.

Call if you have any questions on our services or would like the phone number of some of our pets for referrals. 530-243-8506

Animal Love: I am very fond of all animals and have enjoyed drawing them all my life. You can view some of my drawings here.
