Frequently asked questions

Can you keep my pet(s) at your house?  

No.  I live in a tiny house and don't have adequate room for additional pets.

Will you sleep at my house while I am away?

Yes. In whatever area you designate.

Will you just come by and walk my dog?

No. I will exercise and interact with your pet while they are in my care, but I am not a dog walking service.

How much do you charge?

$75 per night for up to 3 pets. $25 for each additional pet. If you have a large number of pets or live on a farm and would like for me to take care of the livestock, we'll discuss a fee that is fair.  Fees are double during major holidays.

What other things could you do while you are in my home?

I have other skills that could be helpful to you.  I had a cleaning business for many years, so I could do light or deep cleaning in specified areas, organizing and I've also painted professionally.  Those things will be extra fees based on the job.  Regardless, I will clean up after myself.

What is the best way to reach you?

Texts are best. 919.625.1074

Are there pets that you will not take care of?

On a case by case basis, I would consider large birds, snakes and other reptiles, and exotic pets. I would probably not care for pets with aggression issues or intense medical needs as I do not feel qualified.

Are you a Vet Tech?

No.  I am an animal lover and a life long Dog Mama. I feel a calling to give generously of my time and attention to the voiceless.

Will you come by to meet my pet(s)?

Yes.  I will come by to meet you, your pets, complete an intake form, gain an understanding of your expectations, and see if I am a good fit.

Will you be available 24 hours a day?

Probably. I might need to leave for a short errand on occasion, and church on Sunday morning but I will be there at least 18 of any 24 hour period.

Can you do special activities for my pet(s)?

Yes!  Let's discuss!

Are you the one who will come?

Yes.  I am my only employee.

Do you bring your own food?

Yes. I will bring everything I will need for my stay. I will expect you to have enough food, treats, etc. for your pets.
