Your calendar says booked, does that mean you are unavailable?

Not always. Depending on the service I might be available to do more than one service at a time. For example, if I'm House Sitting, I can still do Walks or Drop-Ins. Especially on the weekends.

What does your availability look like in general?

I work for a local school, so when the kids are there, I'm there, and when they have vacation I have vacation. I get a lot of time off when people are generally taking vacations, but I will still take on local House Sitting requests while school is in session on a case by case basis.

How far will you travel?

I live and work in the Hinsdale/Brattleboro area. I will travel as far as Putney/Dummerston in Vermont, and Keene/Swanzey in New Hampshire. If you live outside that area, please still reach out. We might be able to work something out.

How do you accept payment?

I accept cash, check or Venmo, to be paid in full by the end of the services.

What age do you consider a dog a puppy?

Puppy pricing is applied until your dog reaches one year of age.
