See also  PAID  PET  VISITING  for visiting your pets and watering your plants.

BOOKING FEE / MINIMUM CHARGE: $140, paid in advance and non-refundable. This is credited to your total cost.

DAILY RATE: Usually $40 per day.
Where there is an extensive list of pets or other animals and/or extensive watering, the daily rate is by negotiation.

Example: 10 days with 9 nights = $400.
MINIMUM CHARGE: $140.

We can discuss various timings for payment. I'm very flexible about whether some is paid in advance or in arrears, how often, and whether it's cash or via online direct credit (I'll give you the BSB info).

FREE: Two or three visits before the big day to discuss everything, make detailled notes, and possibly take photographs (if that will help me remember how to feed your animals etc). Please don't hesitate to ask for a free initial 'no obligation' visit so we can meet and see if it's going to work. I am very happy to meet people 'on spec,' just so we already know each other for house sitting some time in the future.

FREE: Emails to you while you're away, with reports and photos.

FREE: Debriefing after your return (if I'm not home when you get back).

If I'm already gone when you return, please contact me upon arrival so I don't have to worry that you've been delayed and your pets are getting thirsty.

Note: as the house sitter I do not pay for the use of electricity, gas, water, television, and internet access etc., nor for pet food & supplies (I buy my own food, of course.) As the Meerkat says in the TV ad, 'Simples.'
