All God's Creatures Pet Services

Our Services & Rates ...

Initial Consultation (60 - 90 minutes)

It is important that we ensure that we are a good fit for your needs and that your animals meet the pet sitter for the first time with you there (your presence lets the animals know that the pet sitter is an accepted and approved presence in your home).

At this visit you will have the chance to interview the pet sitter to make sure the sitter is a good match for your pet. Then we can review, complete and sign our service contract, and all the other necessary paperwork. We are happy to email you these documents ahead of time, if you'd like to review them before deciding to use our services. In fact, completing the paperwork beforehand will make the initial consult more productive, allowing for more time for questions.

During this consult, we will also transfer keys, get copies of proof-of-vaccinations, and tour your home while discussing detailed instructions on how to care for your pets and home. FYI - This meeting is required for all new clients.

Call us now to set up a free in-home consultation (651-341-0066), or fill out a Contact Form.

** Please allow 48 hours for all reservation requests. New clients require a minimum of 4 days advanced reservation requests. Last-minute requests (under 48 hours notice) will be charged an additional $10.00* convenience fee.

Vacation Care

For those times when business, emergency/illness, or pleasure, take you away from home overnight or for an extended period of time.

Please plan to provide adequate time and number of visits to properly care for your pet and your home.

Dogs require 3-4 visits per day, although some dogs are OK with 2 visits (i.e. those with outside kennel access or doggie doors).
Cats require a minimum of 1 visit per day, although some clients choose 2 visits per day.
Horses, backyard farm animals, pocket pets, birds, and fish require a minimum of 1-2 visits per day.
We do not offer every-other-day visits for Vacation Care.

Please be sure to schedule us to come frequently enough that we will not be cleaning up unnecessary accidents. If you do not, the time to clean up accidents may be charged extra.

Overnight Stay

Sorry, we do not offer live-in care, or overnight boarding services
at this time. See explanation in FAQs.

Please note --- to allow for heavy traffic, poor weather conditions, unforeseen pet accidents or illness, last minute service needs, emergencies, etc. ...
our visits are scheduled in 2-3 hour time frames. Insulin dependent pets take priority over all other reservations. We give priority to visits in the following order - insulin dependent pets, other pets with time sensitive medications or medical conditions, young puppies, healthy dogs without potty access, healthy dogs with potty access, other visits in proximity, horses & chickens, dog walks, and then all other visits or services.

** Time ranges are minimums & averages only - your pet sitter may stay longer (no extra charge) to leave notes and finish up minor tasks. Services begin once pet sitter has crossed your property line, and end when pet sitter has exited your property. Therefore general maintenance, such as a plowed driveway in winter or properly working doors/locks, is encouraged.
