Bonnie's Pet Sitting, Daily Cat Visits

This service allows your Cats & Fuzzy Critters to stay in their own home environment while being cared for and checked on daily, as well as having your home checked on.
{If your Cats & Fuzzy Critters have needs for earlier morning or evening care, please check out the page for Cats & Fuzzy Critters Vacation Stays in my(Bonnie's) own home}
I can do 2x/day visits, but not earlier morn or later eve,,,but can spread the 2x/day visits
out so they're approx 7-8 hrs apart.

These base rates include round trip travel to & from your cats visits in my centralized cat visiting area.

$7/additional 15 min. increments over 1/2 hour of visiting time ~
ex: multiple cats, special needs, any other factors often ‘to be determined’ visit to visit as visits happen.
$20/hr (minimum of $20) for transportation to and from cats appointments and time it takes at the appointments or to do errands for them (I aim to be fair to you and to myself).

We will plan an orientation meeting to establish before Visits begin ~
this entails going over your cats routines at their own home
and allows your cats some time to be comfortable with their new visitor:

Orientation for Visits $5 - Plan on approx 1 hr depending on how much we chat about your cats care and info.
Re-Orientation for Visits $5 - If there's been a lull since you last had me visit, you have a new cat, or there are new concerns etc.
Key Pickup for Visits $5 .... Please have keys (2 sets) ready at time of Orientation for Visits at your own home to avoid this additional fee.
Key Return post Visits $5 .... (I will be happy to hold them if you will need future Visits).

Winter (Snow!) "Every mile is two in winter" ~George Herbert
A factor I greatly consider during the months of Dec - April is that you have arranged for reliable snow clearing if you'll be gone away for more than just a long day.
I will need the name and contact info of who is hired to do your snow clearing if I am hired to do visits while you are gone away on vacation or a get away.
I won't just hope we don't get a lot of snow while you're gone while I am responsible to provide care for your cats or critters at your home in your absence.
I need to be able to safely park my car off from the road since town & city plows would be out working, & also making big snow piles at the end of driveways.
I need to have safe access to your home in order to not compromise your cats care.
I am always surprised by how many times over the years people say they never thought of preparing for reliable snow removal if they are going to be going away.(And having the kid next door or whatever neighbor shovel if we get a lot of snow, has mostly been proven to not be reliable.)
Also, if we were to get a lot of snow, you will also be able to get into your driveway when you return if you have reliable snow clearing already arranged for.
