How and Why am I different??
Lewisburg is my hometown and Marshall County is my home
I am licensed with the City of Lewisburg as a business
Your first initial "Get to Know You and Your Pet" visit is free
No forms to fill out
No 'pre-bookings' or reservations required...since I am sitting in your home we are NEVER full or over-booked
I am a Vet Tech, familiar with giving medications, dosing, and other veterinary care
My family owns a plumbing and electrical business in town, so if there are ANY problems with your home while you are away I can see that they are taken care of
I charge by the client, not a set fee - each individual pet owner and pet is different and so should be your cost
My rates are GUARANTEED to be the lowest around for the services and experience provided, and this does NOT affect the time spent with your pet or the quality of the service
I do not require you to jump thru hoops to suite my needs such as requiring your pet to have all of its vaccinations as some other pet sitting services require. It is your own business whether or not your pet is vaccinated (although Rabies is required by state law in TN). I do take necessary precautions regardless if it is vaccinated or not.
I am available ALL major holidays locally
I am available most times AT THE LAST MINUTE, even if you are on the road already (pending I have a key in hand for your home)
I do all and any type of animal
I can also do Farm Care and Calls as well as Small Animal Pet Sitting
I can call you at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE and let you know how your pet is doing or you can call me to check on your pet
If you would like you will be able to see your pet while you are away with candid photo shots taken and posted on my website (anonymous clientele and addresses of course). No names will be listed, just photos....as always your information is kept confidential. This will also be offered as a FREE service. **see it now at the Candid Pet Photo Gallery
What is Critterhaven Pet Sitting?
Going out of town for a few days? Hate to leave Fido and Fifi at the kennel and away from home? Let me help!! I absolutely LOVE animals, and have many of my own to prove it!! I grew up on a farm and have always had animals in my life, from two legged to four legged to many legged to no legged...plus I have many years experience working with veterinarians both in Knoxville, Williamson County, and here in Lewisburg. I have references available on request from local customers of mine as well as from the local veterinarians I've worked with and for. Call any vet in the Lewisburg or Chapel Hill area and they will recommend me.
Rates:
Rates vary according to number of trips required, distance traveled, and other duties requested at residence. I start as low as $10 a day for a one time visit and go up from there depending on the number of times required during the day (a maximum of four). Four times a day usually runs around $20-25 if it is in the Lewisburg/Belfast area. Chapel Hill and Cornersville and other communities run a little more due to the distance to drive. A farm visit twice daily to Chapel Hill can run $75. A home or kennel visit to Chapel Hill can run $30-45 depending on the number of times I visit. A Lewisburg home visit 4 times daily can run $20-25. Most once a day cat visits in Lewisburg will be $10. This gives you some idea but your rates may vary. That is PER day, not PER visit. At the current time I cannot house sit overnight since I do have animals of my own to care for; however, I can go by and check on your pets as many times as you need, the maximum up to 4 times a day (7am, noon, 5pm, 10pm). I will also water plants, pick up your paper and mail, and generally keep an eye on the place while you are away. My rates are guaranteed to beat anyone else's in the area for the experience and services provided!! Don't believe me? Google TN pet sitters and see what their charges are...most are $16 and up PER Visit. My fees are for the day which could be 2-4 visits daily.
All I ask is that you leave an emergency number, a note giving me permission to seek medical treatment for your pet at their veterinarian should the need arise, and leave me any special instructions that I may need to know in your absence. No other forms are needed.
Your pet will be cared for as if he/she were my own. I am able to give emergency medical attention if needed, as well as any oral or injectable medications that your pet may require. Every vet in the area knows me and knows that I petsit for the public. I have worked with and for 5 out of the 8 vets in the area.
Pet Taxi:
Too busy to make a vet appointment or pickup your pooch from your vet? We also offer pet drop off and pick up services for cats and dogs. A minimum fee of $15 applies for this service.
So if you think that my services are something that you would be interested in...simply get in touch with me!!
The first visit is free to your home. This includes but isn't limited to:
We currently do not offer overnight pet sitting. However we are working on offering boarding at an on sight facility in the coming months.
Base rate is $10 for one time visit for up to 4 cats or up to 3 dogs. Final fees are based on a daily basis and not necessarily a per visit rate.
Daily rate is maximum of $45 per day within my service area unless you are a farm. Then rates go to an hourly rate.
Final quote of fees will be determined at the consultation visit depending on each situation.
RATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME.
NOTE: It is possible to accommodate specific time requests for any visits.
DOGS: AM visits will be some time between 6AM and 8AM
Lunch visits will be some time between 11:30AM and 1:00PM
PM visits will be some time between 5PM and 7PM
Before Bedtime visits will be some time between 9PM and 10:30PM
NOTE: Dog visits will never be more than 12 hours apart.
CATS: Cat visits vary depending on how many visits daily and when you wish me to do so. If I have dog sitting jobs during a certain time frame the cat sitting jobs will be done around them.
Please contact us as far in advance as possible. We suggest at least 2 week's notice but it is possible we can accommodate last minute requests for service. We never book up, even during the busy season. We will always work you in.
I am currently able to offer my services to the towns of Lewisburg, Chapel Hill, Petersburg, Cornersville, and Belfast in Middle Tennessee.
