Frequently Asked Questions
How does your pet sitting service work?
Your Girl Friday comes to YOU! We visit the client’s home to provide caring attention for your pet while you’re away. This allows your pet to enjoy the comfort and familiarity of their own home environment while helping to give your home that “lived in” look by bringing in mail, packages, newspapers and watering plants.
Typically we offer two types of drop-in visits throughout the day.
A number of clients prefer a quick 15-minute “Express” visit simply to let the pet out for a quick break, top off food and water, and clean kitty litter. These are $15 each (per visit, not per pet)
Others prefer a 30-minute “Regular” visit which allows for more one-on-one time to visit with the pet, go out for a walk, provide human companionship, interaction and playtime. And these are $22 each.
Not sure about our services? We offer a free in-home consultation to come meet you, your pet, learn the routine and take lots of notes. There's nothing to sign unless you're ready to proceed!
Do you provide overnight services?
Overnight visits in the client’s home may be accommodated, based on availability. We charge $65 per night for a 10-12 hour period from evening until morning.
Do you work holidays? What about extra fees?
We do cover holidays. The only difference in pricing is a $5 surcharge per holiday visit. This includes Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.
We do not have cancellation fees, so better to book and then cancel, than to try and squeeze yourself in at the last minute. We do have a surcharge of $20 for bookings accommodated with less than 72 hours notice.
Our only other extra fee is a $5 surcharge for visits after 7pm.
My pet(s) takes certain medications. Is that included in your service?
Yes! Myself and our employees are experienced with administering medication for animals, whether it's in pill form or a liquid, once a day or multiple times throughout. The only thing we do not perform are injections, such as for insulin.
Do you work outside of Tracy?
Unfortunately, our current area of service only extends to the city of Tracy, CA. Depending on scheduling/availability, we may be able to take appointments for Mountain House, but it is not a guarantee.
