Ollie's Pet Sitting

 EXCITING NEWS!~We have expanded the areas we service!

• I service the  Round Rock, Pflugerville & North Austin areas 

For services within a 5 mile radius of my home  ( Round Rock )  area we charge a beginning rate of $20.00 per visit , $40.00 for two visits, $60.00 for three visits. ( see specifics below)

We do not charge for additional animals  as most other pet sitting business do, the more the merrier! (within reasonable limits : up to six)

If it is outside the 5 mile radius, ( but within 10 miles)We would charge $25.00 per visit , $50.00  for two visits, $75.00 for three.  Even further outside of that we can talk and I'm sure we can come to agreement on a price. We want it to be affordable for you!

For just pet sitting each visit is 30 minutes and can include a walk ( provided the dog is leash trained) If the dog is not leased trained,  the visit will include Play time. I will bring in mail, pick up newspapers , turn on & off security lights, water plants, and adjust blinds or curtains to look like someone is home, for no extra charge.

I have an additional service for owners who would like a little extra reassurance when they are away from their pets. I can text, send a picture or even a video of your pet while I'm visiting. You let me know how often you want this or not at all. 

For cats the visits will also include all of the above, except the walks... LOL

I will evaluate each pet's own habits & schedules because each animal has his or her own time to eat & relieve themselves. Some take longer than others to do their business! Therefore the number of visits per day needs to be  at least twice a day. 

** I am not certified to train dogs, but have alot of experience doing so. I have been known to train dogs (by accident) by correcting bad behavior while I'm pet sitting. **BUT if your dogs have any of these issues below: (I'm not the pet sitter for you.)

1.) If your dog barks aggressively at strangers and lunges at the door or at people when they enter your home. "Just barking "isn't considered aggressive. 

2.) If your dog has food aggression or Toy aggression

3.) If your dog has ever bitten a dog or a person

4.) If your dog shows any type of aggression at all

I have taken a few difficult pet sitting jobs before and it takes way too much of my time to get the dogs acclimated to me. And even after that I have to re-introduce myself each time. Sometimes I'm not able to accomplish it and then we've wasted both of our times. So unfortuantely I cannot work for you.

 I will come by and talk with you before you leave,and meet with your animal.  Please set at least 1/2 hour for us to talk about your animal's, likes, dislikes schedule & habits. 

 *These prices are a typical estimate but can change with additional services and distance traveled. We can discuss the price variables and or/ additional services you might require that are not included in my regular service ,  (for instance I have had customers that required even more than 3 visits per day.  I will quote a definite price when we meet.

Some of my customers prefer I housesit too ( I do this ONLY on a limited basis and with advance notice )  that service price  is determined by your needs and the distance from my home, provided it is within the areas discussed above.   I will water your plants,  turn on sprinklers, pick up your mail, leave your house cleaner than I found it,  and do any other services that we discuss.  I will treat your Home the way you treat it or Better ! 

At my initial meeting I will quote a firm price, which is a "daily" rate, "NOT PER NIGHT rate "  for however many visits we discuss.   I always encourage my customers to go early and come back late so they get their money's worth! (I base my rates on an average of fuel and time charges, and I have already planned my day & schedule to be available for you)

PLEASE NOTE:

•  I do not charge for canceled pet sitting assignments but please understand if you do have to cancel consider that I have already set aside the time to work for you and in some instances  have declined other pet sitting jobs if they interfere with the job I've promised to do for you. So please, if you must cancel give me as much notice as possible.

• If you need to change your plans (for example: come back early) I am unable to give credit or discount my rate for that day. I book and charge for whole days ( inclusive)  due to the fact that I am so busy, and also  my services are in such high demand that when I schedule jobs,  I only accept as many jobs as I can comfortably do in one day, especially during my peak times. (All the holidays & all summer long). 
  

• If you have to come back later than expected (due to missed flights, bad weather etc...Acts of god...) I will continue to take care of your pets until I know they are in your care. The "daily" rate will continue until you get back home. We can just settle up when you return.
