Services and Rates

At Creature Comforts Pet Sitting we pride ourselves on providing the highest level of service. From dog walking to pet sitting, we do it all.  We service the towns that make up the eastern Mainline.

If you do not see what you are looking for below, please call or email. We understand that peoples’ and pets’ needs vary widely. We would be happy to customize our services to suit your needs.

Complimentary In Home Consultation

During this visit we will:

  • Become acquainted with you and your pets.
  • Receive detailed information about the care of your pets and your home.
  • Review our services and fees.
  • Confirm the dates of service and how often we will be visiting your home.
  • Get information about what additional services may be required.
  • Review what needs to be entered into our online system, Pet Sitter Plus.
  • Pick up two copies of your house key unless you have a keypad. For garage door entry, we need a backup form of entry in event of power outage or garage door malfunction.
  • Review our policies and sign our service agreement.

Once we have scheduled the In Home Consultation, we will send you a welcome email with the info you’ll need to get registered in our online system, Pet Sitter Plus. This very user-friendly system handles all of our scheduling, invoicing, and storage of all client and pet care details. The more you can get put in by the time we meet the better, but as long as everything is complete by the start of service, we’re good to go!!

**If we are not contracted for work at the time of consultation, a $15.00 administrative fee will be charged.

We can’t wait to meet you!

Daily Dog Walking

Working long hours? We offer walks and outings in the middle of the day throughout the week for dogs in need of exercise and/or relief. It’s unhealthy for dogs to “hold it” all day and it can help dogs with separation anxiety who get destructive if left alone too long.

You may specify a walk, play ball in the yard, snuggle/TLC time, a combination of all etc. 30 minutes is generally adequate for moderately active dogs to less active. For highly active dogs, consider more than one walk a day, one extended walk, a Park Adventure, or an Excursion!

We want you to come home to a happy, well-exercised dog. Each visit is finished out with giving fresh water, a treat you provide if requested, and emailing you a report with picture!

You must consistently have 2 or more days each M-F 10am-3pm scheduled to receive this discounted rate. For less often than that or outside those times, the pet sitting rate will apply.

$23.00 per 30 minute visit 

$29.00 per 45 minute visit 

$34.00 per one hour visit 

$3 each additional dog

*If there is a dog in the home not belonging to the client and is to be included on the walk with the resident dog, an additional $10 fee will apply.

In Home Pet Sitting

Do you need to leave town for vacation, business trip, or other obligation or just need a sporadic visit to your dog or cat for a dinner out, day trip etc? We provide as many visits as are needed throughout the day. This allows for a stress free environment for your pet enabling them to adhere to their daily routine. These visits include, first and foremost, lots of love and attention as well as feeding, walking, administering medications, litter box maintenance, and other complimentary household tasks listed below. Whether you have a dog that wants to play fetch in the yard or a cat that wants to snuggle on the sofa, our goal is to be your pets’ 2nd best buddy after you and make them feel as comfortable as possible in your absence!

**Cats must be visited at least once every 24 hrs and dogs at least every 8-10 hrs.

$25.00 per 30 minute visit 

$31.00 per 45 minute visit 

$37.00 per hour visit 

$3 each additional dog $2 each additional cat

*If there is a dog in the home not belonging to the client and is to be included on the walk with the resident dog, an additional $10 fee will apply.

Park Adventures

If you’d like your dog to have a bit more exercise than the average walk along with a change of scenery, and possibly some socializing with other dogs. Consider this fun outing! Transportation is included and time is 60 min. door to door. We will choose from the following parks: Haverford College, Saunders Woods, Rolling Hills Park , Mill Creek Park , Windsor Trail, General Wayne Park, Merion Botanical Park , Cynwyd Trail, and Shortridge Memorial Park. We can only do off leash at Rolling Hills or Mill Creek & a waiver must be signed. This can be set up as a regular ongoing

service, sporadic as needed, or interspersed with regular pet sitting visits while you travel. This visit is completed with fresh water, a treat provided by you if requested, and an email sent to you with a report and picture!

$42 1 hour total time 

$5 for additional dog Limit 2 dogs Discount may be offered if set up as an ongoing service.

 

The Excursion

This is your active dog’s dream come true! This is a 90 minute start to finish service. We’ll take your pup out for a great time at one of the local trails. We’ll typically choose the one closest to home to minimize drive time but are open to specific requests. If your dog loves playing with other dogs, we’ll go for the ones with the best chance of that happening.

Is your dog a bit shy or not dog friendly? No problem! We know how to find those offbeat trails for a great hike on leash. Transportation is included and time is 90 min. door to door.

Potty Pit Stop

This 15 minute visit is by approval when only a quick outing is indicated. This is primarily for geriatric dogs, post surgery, wellness check etc. This service is available for puppies ONLY when an additional visit of at least 1/2hr is scheduled the same day. This service is NOT available as part of pet sitting services when you are out of town.

$19.00 per 15 minute visit *Scheduled only with approval & does not include feeding, household tasks etc. 

Small Animal/Critter visits

This service covers the bunnies, guinea pigs, reptiles, aquariums, and birds. This is for up to 15 min of care. If pet and household tasks take more than 15 min, you’ll be scheduled for the regular 30min pet sitting visits.

We will potentially approve scheduling less frequently than every 24 hrs for critter visits with the understanding that in the event of illness or some other issue, visiting at least every 24 hrs gives a better chance of successful resolution.

$19.00 per visit

Overnight Stays

A sitter will arrive at your home in the evening generally between 7-8pm and stay until the following morning.

Your pet has the benefit of a caring sitter not only providing the usual pet care but spending the night with your pet as well. This service is good for pets with medical issues that may require more observation or those who simply won’t sleep as well if no one is in the bed with them!

This service provides 11 hours of coverage and can include a later dinner and walk, bedtime outing, sleepover, and early morning care. A midday visit the following day is not included and can be added.

For more coverage including more time through the day, check out our Live In House Sitting!

Starting rate is $95 per night. Additional fees will apply for more than 1 pet, more demands placed on our time than the service includes, and unusually labor intensive jobs.

Live in House sitting

With this premium service, your home becomes the sitter’s home base. We are the only bonded and insured pet sitting company offering this comprehensive of a live in service.

The sitter will not spend any time at their own house but will be in and out of yours throughout the day while providing visits to other clients. Your pet will not be left more than 3-4 hours at a time during the day. The sitter will be in the home at least 16 of every 24 hrs.

Starting at $135.00 per 24hrs. Additional fees may apply for more than 2 pets, more demands placed on our time than the service includes, and unusually labor intensive jobs.

Pet Sitting By the Hour

Have somewhere to be and don’t feel comfortable leaving your pet home alone at all? This service is similar to hiring a babysitter for your child. We come at the prearranged time and don’t leave until your return.

This service is great for pets who are special needs, dealing with an illness or recent surgery, or who suffer from separation anxiety.
