Pet Errand Service

cat overworked

Not enough hours in the day? Are mundane but necessary tasks sucking your valuable time? How much is your time worth? Would cloning yourself make things easier? We do not have a cloning device, but our errand service, uniquely focusing on items related to your pet and home, can help manage your pet care responsibilities. By whittling down your pet or home care-related "to-do" list, we help you become better pet owners allowing you to spend your precious time with your pet.

Errand services include the following:

  • Pet food, medicine and supply runs at pet stores or veterinary clinics. We also provide delivery of these products to your home.
  • Conduct pet-related product or services research.
  • Wait at your home for repair people, installers or contractors.
  • Hang out with your pets for an "extended" outing while you deal with showing your home to prospective buyers, have work done to your house by contractors, home exterminations, etc.

Rates

  • One time use: $35 per hour. Minimum 1-hour reservation per assignment, includes shopping and delivery and does not include cost of purchased items. 30-minutes of travel time is included in the price, however, travel time beyond 30-minutes will be subject to the hourly rate.
  • Monthly contracts: $30 per hour. Minimum 1-hour reservation per assignment, includes shopping and delivery times and does not include cost of purchased items. 30-minutes of travel time is included in the price, however, travel time beyond 30-minutes will be subject to the hourly rate.

Why monthly contracts? Monthly contracts will provide you a discount on the hourly rate, establish a dependable monthly routine and will guarantee you errand service.

Our pet errand service is a sub-division of our personal assistance services. Please inquire with us should you need assistance with other aspects of life's finer details.
