First Consultation / Deposit = $20
This home visit is approximately one hour and allows us to get acquainted, be introduced to your pet and discuss a care plan. If you decide to book services, this fee acts as a deposit which is deducted from the total cost of the stay and locks-in your travel dates.
Fast Friends 'Golden Promise' Guarantee: If either one of us (or your pet) is uncomfortable and you choose not to book, there is NO charge for the consultation. Establishing a rapport with clients, their pets and the caregiver is important as well as comfort when it comes to home security. If you're not comfortable booking with me, you don't pay for the consultation!
FAST FRIENDS RATES:
New Client / First Consultation = $20. Applied to first visit as deposit if you book service.
Golden promise: If we're not a good fit and you decide not to book, you don't pay for this first visit.
This fee simply insures that I am fielding serious inquiries to hire 35 years of mature experience.
Once you book, you never pay this fee again.
___________
Overnight (24 hour) rates for felines = $30 a day, single and multiple cat families.
___________
Overnight (24 hour) rate for canines = $40 a day base rate. Felines in shared family are free!
Additional charges may apply for multiple dogs; i.e. if more than two large breeds, add $10 per dog.
I've also cared for chickens, ducks and goats as well. Please see my expanding farm care and extended stay service ~ Same $40 a day base rate, up to two weeks. After two weeks, the monthly rate of $500 applies. That's a $60 savings on the two week rate AND you can travel longer.

Don't have pets but need someone to hold down the fort, fetch mail and water plants?

SERVICES: ALL fees cover 24/7 pet care, **mail retrieval, indoor/outdoor light rotation, plant care, message service (if required), and light housekeeping. Errands can be negotiated before travel dates. Please insure your pet has the necessary food and/or medication required before you travel.
The fun part! Each furry member of your family gets loving human attention, pampering, playtime and any scheduled extras you would like them to have. Trips to your trusted bark parks and pre-scheduled grooming appointments are included. [I add a few personal touches, like complimentary photos and email updates of your pet!]
I have taken care of pets with special needs, post-op, medicinal schedules and strict diets. Over the last 35 years, clients and their pets have become like extended family. I am happy to provide references upon request. Feel free to read my fast friend testimonials!
CANCELLATION POLICY: When any client [repeat and first time] books service, a $20 deposit is required to lock in your travel dates. I serve multiple clients at different times of year and deposits insure availability at peak times including some holidays. If you cancel, this is not refundable but can be applied to your next booking should you require service at a later date. Weather and other emergencies do happen. I'm happy to discuss rescheduling if you simply need to postpone a few days. It is rare that dates overlap but this can happen during the winter season. I try to be flexible and may socialize dogs from two clients if bookings overlap with permission from clients, of course.

Disclaimer: I am not an obedience trainer but have extensive experience and a loving connection with animals. Both my daughter and I have been called whisperers but only you can really determine that when I meet your pet. If you have a large breed dog that is not socialized, does not respond to your verbal commands, growls, is aggressive or has bitten ANYONE, please seek a professional trainer, not a pet sitter.
I'm willing to meet large, friendly dogs to see if your pet simply needs more human contact. Sometimes separation anxiety occurs due to hectic work/travel schedules, family changes or a move. I'm open to meet with any pet owner that feels boarding isn't an option for a large breed dog. Remember, the consultation is free if any of us (especially your pet) is uncomfortable.
I cannot recall meeting any pet I didn't get along with ~ hence 'Fast Friends'!
