Time Based Rates
While Stay and Play at Home does not charge a per-pet-rate, there may occasions that we require additional increments of time to properly care and tend to the individual needs during the "in-home" visit for multiple pets in the household.
We have a base rate of $20.00 for 30 minutes. The majority of our "in-home" services can be completed within this standard amount of time. Any visit requiring extra "in-home" care time will be charged accordingly based on needs.
