From your pet's increased happiness and reduced health risks to your own priceless peace of mind, The Fat Dachshund Full Service Pet Sitting is a great way to care for your pet's while you are away. We provide complete house checking and security for your home as well. Our courtesy home services include: bringing in the mail / newspapers / packages, alternating lights, setting out trash, opening & closing blinds, watering plants, etc. We can write a visit log for you to read, or if you prefer, we can text or email you about the visits, including photos! Below you will find a list of our Full Service Pet Sitting options. Please keep in mind that this list is not all-inclusive and we can personalize a service plan that will meet your requirements. You choose the amount of time and the type of service you want (feeding, play time, dog walk, scooping litter boxes, brushing, TLC, etc.). Except for boarding, we do NOT charge a fee for each pet -- we simply charge for the time that we spend caring for your pets. *PLEASE NOTE: These are base prices and may vary based on location (for visits), age, aggressiveness and whether or not your pet is housebroken (for boarding), etc.. |

New Clients / Initial Consultation / Meet & Greet
This is when you will decide if you are comfortable leaving your home and pets in our care, and we will decide if we are comfortable caring for your pets and home. Please schedule this meeting as far in advance as possible. Forms will be completed and signed during the meeting (it usually takes 15-30 minutes). This meeting is only required for the first booking, and future bookings can be handled over the phone or through text, email, etc.
Before we begin services, we are provided with a copy of your home keys, which are stored safely and securely. We will test all keys — at our free pet consultation — and make sure we understand your instructions for activating/deactivating your alarm system. If you allow us to keep or make a copy of your key, thus avoiding extra trips to return the key and/or pick up the key for future visits, there will be NO charge. Otherwise, there is a $5 fee for each key trip (after the initial consultation). You may also drop off and pick up your key at our home if you prefer. Even if you have a garage door opener, we will need a key for backup in the event there is a power outage or other garage door problem. Please make sure your locks & door are in good working condition.
Our key rings have no identifying information. During each visit, our pet sitters will follow a guide of instructions from you to ensure that we keep your home safe and in the same condition that you left it to us.
*Discounted multiple session packages and multi-day/week vacation packages are also available, ask for details!
