SERVICES
Please secure your appointment as soon as you know your travel plans.
We are usually booked at least 1-2 months out.
Please reply/fill out forms within 4 days of our confirming your appointment. If we do not hear back from you, your confirmation will be cancelled in order to accommodate other clients.
Booked Dates: Services are already fully booked and no additional reservations are being accepted for the following dates:
Sept 8-21, 28-30 2024
Oct 1-4, 19-31 2024
December 11-29 2024
Requests submitted for these black out dates will be placed on a waiting list in case of other cancellations. Additionally we may be able to refer you to another pet sitter.
Services: Daily visits to care for your pet (including feeding, litter box cleaning, love, cuddles, and/or playtime), retrieving light mail (under 15#) and watering of basic houseplants. (If you require full outdoor garden watering in the summer, there is a charge for this, please see below.)
Daily text messages or emails with updates and/or photos.
Medication administration is available for an additional charge per day. (Including injections and fluids as well as oral or topical medications).
Normal visits are around 20-30 minutes. Your pet determines length of stay per visit. Once a day visits will usually occur between the hours of 9am and 2pm. For twice a day visits, morning visits are performed between the hours of 9am and 11am and evening ones between 3pm and 5pm. (Twice a day visits are shorter than once a day, usually no more than 15-20min.)
At this time only cat or small animal care is being offered (sorry, no dogs). Sometimes, referrals for overnight house stays, or for clients with dogs, can be provided.
Please click here to view our service area. Currently we are not taking any new clients outside of area 1, or any new twice a day visits.
Payment: We accept PayPal and Quickpay/Zelle (windysitting@gmail.com), Venmo (@Gina-Klauba), checks or cash. Payment is due prior to services. Tips are always appreciated! There is a charge for cancellations less than 7 days prior to your departure. For current pricing, and cancellation policy details, please check our rates page.
Again, we normally book up AT LEAST a month in advance. Do to this, last minute requests may not be accommodated. If we are able to “fit you in” there is an additional $10 charge per visit ($20 for twice a day visits). Advance booking is highly encouraged.
For repeat clients a set of keys can be stored in a secure lock box, otherwise there is a charge of $25 each time keys are picked up. If you are able to provide a secure location for keys (to be obtained on the first day of visits) this fee is waived. New clients do not have to pay this for the initial meet and greet, unless there are no planned dates on the calendar.
Grooming: We offer in home nail trimming services for your cat, small dog and some exotics! Some minor grooming such as sanitary shaves may also be available.
Fee is per animal and on a sliding scale based on location, length of time, and amount of people that the service takes. If your pet dislikes nail trims, and you are unable to assist with holding, there will be an additional fee charged for an assistant. It is at the discretion of the person performing the nail trim as to whether they feel safe with you assisting. Nail trims are not performed without the owner or an assistant present.
