* I try to keep the house a little neater than when I got there and I always bring my own food ( *unless food or a food allowance is offered, which is not expected but GREATLY APPRECIATED) and clean up after myself of course. I pick up mail, packages, newspapers and meet any service or repair people needing to come in. I water plants indoors and out if needed. I also like to leave a little token or surprise for family members when I leave and surprise you while you are away with a text photo of your pet to send you a little LOVE from home! 

RATES: Typical for inner East side of Portland Metro area is $65 for first two pets with no special needs

* HIGH MAINTENANCE HOUSES: large yards with excessive watering, yard care, large poo clean up, Extra outdoor critter feeding filling of more than one bird feeder ,piles of dishes left in the kitchen sink and other extreme mess. I am happy to to keep your home neat and tidy and pick up after myself, however if I am left to stay in a messy house I can't help but clean it and I would like to be compensated for that work. $5 additional per day

PETS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS *(THIS IS MY SPECIALTY)* :  Elderly Dogs  need more care due to blindness /deafness/arthritis and other Physical needs and excessive incontinence, or needing medication or puppies 2-4months old that might be potty training, will cost $5-$15 additional per day TBD this is because these dogs require a lot more work on my part and likely need me to stay with them nearly full time, which is more than a typical average pet sitting job. 

WALKS: ELDERLY/SLOW Dogs are the only dogs I am walking for a 30 minute walk. I like to call them  "The Sniffer Walks"  So they can walk slowly and stop and sniff  for smell sensation $30 inner NE/SE Area 

I rarely will Petsit in areas out of Inner NE/SE only because If I am doing a petsitting job at on the West side it logistically prevents me from taking on any cat-in check or Sniffer Walks jobs that I other wise could have taken on if I were in a NE/SE home. But if I do *Inner West Side or Vancouver or Outer East Gresham starts at $70 -$75 a day for two animals (Elderly dogs are additional see above) because this is out of my home area and with increasing traffic I spend a lot more time on the road in increasingly heavy traffic driving to and from any appointments I may have and the cost of gas is very high.

***(Meal allowance and Gratuity Tip are optional, not expected but

 ALWAYS GREATLY APPRECIATED!)***

***ALL HOLIDAYS ARE CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL $10.00 per day
