We do not charge for additional pets, but we do encourage longer visit times to ensure your pets get that proper care and attention; particularly for pet sitting where we are the only care givers. Our Doodlebug best practices policy is to require a minimum of 3 visits per day for Pet Sits of dogs, who have no other care providers while you are on leave. It has been our experience after thousands of visits that to maximize your dog’s happiness and minimize risk to destructive behavior a morning, midday, and evening visit is required. Homes with doggy doors, where a pet has free outdoor access are exempted from the 3 visit requirement. |
