These base rates include round trip travel to & from your cats visits in my centralized cat care visiting area. Rates may be higher if travel is not in my centralized service area or if on the outskirts of cat visiting area, etc. there may be an increase in the visit charge. I will give you a quote when we meet or once I know your locality and needs.
Cats must stay indoors while I am caring for them, unless they have a secure cat yard enclosure or are already outdoor only/barn cats.

"Every mile is two in winter" ~George Herbert A factor I greatly consider during the months of Dec - April is that you have arranged for reliable snow clearing if you'll be gone away for more than just a long day. I will need the name and contact info of who is hired to do your snow clearing if I am hired to do visits while you are gone away on vacation or a get away. I won't just hope we don't get a lot of snow while you're gone while I am responsible to provide care for your cats or critters at your home in your absence. I need to be able to safely park my car off from the road since town & city plows would be out working, & also making big snow piles at the end of driveways. I need to have safe access to your home in order to not compromise your cats care. I am always surprised by how many times over the years people say they never thought of preparing for reliable snow removal if they are going to be going away.(And having the kid next door or whatever neighbor shovel if we get a lot of snow, has mostly been proven to not be reliable.) Also, if we were to get a lot of snow, you will also be able to get into your driveway when you return if you have reliable snow clearing already arranged for.
Special Needs Cats

Special Needs Cats
When your pet needs special attention and medication it can add to your apprehension of leaving them in someone else's care. I not only have a lot of training through organizations like the American Red Cross Pets, I also have over 18 years of caring for cats and dogs that have needed medical care, special dietary needs and love.

I also have PSA's Special Personal Property of Others endorsement, which is broader than most bonds. Bonds are usually for pet sitters that have employees, to cover potential dishonest acts. I have no employees, as I want to stay small and individually personalized with my clients. But the special endorsements also provides for customers' property in my care, custody or control.
