Fees & policies
Free Meet and Greet
This initial visit will give us a chance to get to know each other and go over important information about the proper care of your pet and home. We want to know as much information as possible in this meeting so that we can ensure the superior service that you and your furry loved one deserve. This will also give us an opportunity to answer any questions you may have.
If you have a keypad or garage code, please make sure the battery is charged or does not need replacements. We encourage lockboxes and having a back up plan if the power goes out or a battery dies. While this does not happen often, worst case we will call a locksmith- this would be at the client’s expense. It is always best to have a relative or neighbor with a key in an emergency situation.
Holidays
On the following holidays there will be an additional surcharge of $5 per visit the day of and $5 per visit the day before and the day after the major holiday:
New Years Eve, New Years Day, Easter, 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day.
100% of this charge goes to your sitter as a “Thank you” for spending time away from their families and working during the holidays.
Late Bookings
There is a $5 late fee ($10 for holidays) for each visit on any requests made within 48 hours. 100% of this fee goes to your sitter as a “Thank you” for the accommodations. Due to our pre-scheduled sit requests, our sitters must make arrangements within their schedules and our current scheduled clients. Lakeside Pet Sitting utilizes our pet sitters at full potential. This fee is in place to make up for extra attention that your babies require.

Receive a complimentary pet sitting visit credit to your account when you refer a customer who books service with us. Please make sure your referral mentions your name. There is also a spot on the back of our business card to put your name in for referral credit when you give out our cards.
Follow-Up Consultations
We understand when you move into a new home, acquire a new pet, or when your pet has any major medical changes, a second consult may be requested. Our initial consult is free and second consults are a nominal fee to compensate sitters for their additional time.
