Rates And Charges

Summor's House & Pet Sitting Service offers the BEST home and pet care at prices you can afford.

Initial Consultation
A FREE In-Home Consultation visit is made before confirmation of a booking. During this visit we will discuss the level of care you need, answer any questions you may have, and become acquainted with your pet(s). If a service is agreed upon, we will take comprehensive details of your requirements, which includes completing all necessary paperwork (i.e. House/Pet Profiles). (General Consultations between 30-45 minutes)

Rates
*All prices regarding pets are inclusive for households with no more than two pets. See Additional Pet charges below if your household has more than two pets.

*Payment must be made in advance. For new clients, at least 50% of the entire bill is due during the In-Home Consultation or on the first day of the house/pet-sitting visit. For future pet sitting, please leave a check for the entire bill and make it payable to EITHER Summor Edwards OR Summor's House & Pet Sitting Service.

*Return Check Fee is $35.00.
