Sentinel Pet Care

Rates

Effective July 1, 2008 our rates are as follows:

Pet Sitting Services

Pet sitting rates are based on the number of visits per day. For dog clients we recommend a 3 visit per day schedule. That is, one visit in the morning, one visit mid-afternoon and one late night visit. The rate would change only on your first and last day of service, depending on your departure and arrival times and how many visits you require those days. These are all-inclusive rates regardless of the number of pets you have.

Cat clients usually require 1 visit per day unless medication is involved or there are other special care requirements. For safety reasons we cannot perform every-other-day visits for cats. Our minimum is one visit per day.

There is a $10 per day surcharge for the following major holidays:

If off-street or non-metered parking is unavailable, there will be a $8 per day surcharge.

We will maintain client's keys in a safe and secure manner to simplify the process of arranging future service engagements. If a client requests that keys be returned, there will be an $15.00 key return charge to cover the cost of duplication and delivery or mailing charges. Keys will be returned as soon as possible. There is no charge for allowing us to maintain a key as it simplifies the process for both us and our clients.

Medication Administration

We administer the following medications:

Oral medication in pill and liquid form
Insulin and other injections
Subcutaneous fluids

Prices range from $0 to $5 per visit. Since it is difficult to determine in advance how challenging it may be to administer medications to your pet, we cannot apply a standard rate per visit for this service. Dogs are generally very receptive to pills wrapped in a treat whereas many cats must be located and wrangled before they can be given a pill. The same is true for injections. We will determine a price per visit charge after meeting your pet. We suggest that our initial interview be scheduled around your pets medication time so that we can observe the procedures that you follow.

There is no charge for additional dogs and never a cancellation fee.
