I'm making arrangements for my cats while I'm in the hospital next month. Now that Chynna needs medication it's not as easy as someone coming in once per day to make sure there is dry food, water and scooped litter.
Since Chynna had her teeth extracted she only eats wet food now (2 or 3 times per day), plus she needs medications in the morning. My brother isn't able to come that many times, and certainly not in the morning.
I looked into a pet sitter to come to the house. But the pace didn't call me back so I ended up deciding to board her at a pet hotel. It's $21.00 per day and she gets a 4 x 8 foot space to herself, with a window and a cat tree and personal attention throughout the day for grooming and cuddles...which she will absolutely love. The price is actually $26.00 per day but because I'm a first time customer they give a 15% discount, and I plan on paying up front so I get an additional 5% discount.
Anyway, the company that comes to your home called me today.
I can't believe their rates!!!
$50 consultation fee where they come to my home and meet my cats and get instructions. She said it takes about 45 minutes.
Then if she was to come once per day it would be $25.00 and that includes giving Chynna her medication in the morning. If she came twice per day it's $20.00 per visit ($40.00 for the day).
I should go into the pet sitting business full time! They make more money than I do!
A co-workers daughter is going to come in once a day to look after Abby. I'm boarding Chynna. Abby will be happier with that because her and Chynna don't get along.
