Artemis Animal Training
Don't you hate it when you try to find out what an animal care
agency charges, but they don't list anything on their Web site?
Me too! So here you go. These aren't set in stone, by the way.
If you need significantly less time or care, or you have a
special case, by all means, contact us and I'm sure we can work
something out.
I do not charge extra for distance or mileage. Time includes
only time spent at your house, not from my door to yours. I do
not charge for additional animals, but I do charge for additional
time. So for example, if you have two dogs, but they are too
rambunctious to be walked together, you will be charged for the
time it takes to walk them one at a time. If, however, you have
two cats, for example, it will take me about the same amount of
time to feed them, water them, and clean their litter boxes as it
would if there were only one of them, so I don't charge extra just
because you have two cats.

What is included in pet-sitting?
I require a 30 minute free consultation with the pet owner before I sit for the pet. This
allows the owner to go through all of the steps for caring for the pet, and allows us to get
all the information from each other that we may need. You are not required to hire me if
we have a consultation. At the consultation, if you agree to hire me, this is the time where
you will give me the key to your home.
When I pet-sit for you, I will feed your pets as per your instructions. They will get fresh
water daily or as needed (some pets have water bottles that don't need to be refreshed
daily). Their enclosures, litter boxes, and waste will be cleaned daily or as directed by you.
Time permitting, based on the fee schedule you choose, I will also scratch, pet, play with,
exercise or otherwise give attention to your pet as you direct. I require extra time for
some pets, such as dogs, that, for their own mental and physical health, need extra
attention. With dogs, for example, they need walks and play time, so there is a
minimum of two visits per day, both of which must be at least 30 minutes long.
These requirements are based on the individual pet.
If you have a pet that requires special medical attention of the kind that can be performed
at home, such as basic injections or oral or topical medications, I am qualified to perform
such and will do so at your request.
You provide the food, toys, and any treats. Each pet must also have a travel carrier in
case of emergency.
You may select the time of day you would like me to visit, between the hours of 7 a.m. and
10 p.m., provided I am not already booked for that time slot. You are not required to
select a time; I can do so for you. The time requested or stated for a visit is not a
guarantee. A multitude of factors may come into play to delay or push the time slot up,
such as additional pet bookings, traffic, a pet emergency with another client, etc., but rest
assured I will do my best to keep your animals to the schedule they are most familiar with.
Upon request, I will also perform basic house-sitting duties. I can bring in your mail, rotate
your blinds, park in your driveway, change which lights are on, take out the trash bins,
water your plants, and any other similar thing you might request. These duties are
performed at no extra charge.
I do not charge for mileage or distance traveled. I do not charge extra for
holidays or weekends. I do not charge extra for additional pets.
I am not insured for boarding pets, so I do not board pets.
I am not insured for most grooming procedures. I will perform nail trims on some types of
animals on request, but I must be released from all medical liability. I will brush your pet
on request. If you have any special requests, please ask and I will see what I can do to
accommodate you.
At the end of the pet-sitting, I will meet with you the day you return or the day after to
report on how the pets fared, to return your key, and to obtain my fee.

What is included in dog-walking?
There is no charge for multiple dogs; only for extra time. For example, if you have two
dogs that walk nicely together and have good leash etiquette, I will walk them together
and you will only be charged for the time it takes.
I will walk your dog at a brisk pace for most of the duration of the walk, allowing for ample
time for the dog to relieve itself. Towards the end of the walk, I will walk slower, allowing
for more sniffing and enrichment. Alternatively, I will walk the dog based on your
specifications. I will also clean up after the dog. You provide the collar, leash,
doggie-doo bags, and any treats.
I will drive your dogs to a nearby dog park, but they must have their own crates and those
crates must fit in my vehicle. The dog park also needs to be within a 15 minute drive from
your home.
I will be happy to take any other types of pets besides dogs on walks for similar fees,
provided the animal may be legally taken out into public areas, and provided it has proper
and legal means of restraint (e.g., a collar and a leash).
I require a one-time 30 minute free consultation before walking your dogs for the first time.
This will allow you to ask me any questions you like, we can establish a schedule, I can
meet the dogs, and you can give me your guidelines.

Sessions are one hour long. Typically we would meet once a week, but we can meet
more frequently if the client prefers. I will come to your home for the sessions. I do not
charge mileage or for the time traveled to or from your home.
Scheduling is flexible. I can come any time of day between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., including
weekends and holidays, provided I am not already booked for that day or time slot. There
is no extra charge for holidays or weekends.
Since animal training cannot be maintained if the family is not on board, I prefer to do joint
training sessions with myself and the family, showing them how to get the behavior they
want, then watching them and giving them pointers. Most of an animal's training and
behavior will come from the family when I'm not around, so it is imperative that not only the
animal be trained, but that the family learn how to train it. Training also builds the bond
between the animal and the family, and also, training is FUN!
You provide the treats, clicker or other bridge, your own treat bags, collar, leash, animal
crates, and any other equipment related to the pet or to the training.
I require a 30 minute free consultation before we begin training so we can discuss the
goals, set up a training plan, and go over my methods.
The number of sessions will be determined as we go along. Some behaviors require
fewer sessions, and some require more, but in general you can expect an animal to learn
a behavior in six to eight sessions.
