No Every Other Day Vacation Pet Visits:  For the safety and well being of your pet, and their need for frequent human contact, we do not do every other day vacation pet visits.  All pet sitting services must be scheduled at least three visit times per day for dogs (with no doggy door), in consecutive days in a row. Visits can start the day after your departure, to the day before your return date. This ensures that if needed, your pet can be helped in a reasonable amount of time.

Dogs and Puppies:  If no doggy door, 3 daily visits are recommended.  Please schedule dog visits no more than 12 hrs apart.  Note:  Leaving your dog(s) for longer than 12 hrs without a potty break and can lead to anxiety, accidents, even infections.

Cats must be indoors during our pet sitting/vacation care services. An indoor cat is a safe cat.

Mileage/Travel fee: For areas over 8 miles from Loving Care Pet Sitting office there is a mileage fee of $10 per round trip visit.   

Note: Fees may vary due to pets with special needs, additional pets, additional time, added visits, extra cleanup and special services, as needed or requested.
