In-Home Consultations
Bay Area Pet Pals is pleased to offer a FREE initial in-home consultation to get to know you and your pets, and to ensure we fully understand your pet care needs. During this visit, we will discuss your pet’s routine, specific requirements, and any special instructions to ensure personalized care.
If you require additional consultations beyond the first, these will be available at a rate of $45 per 30 minutes. This allows us to address any ongoing questions, changes to your pet’s care, or to meet with you before extended trips. We’re here to make sure you and your pets feel completely comfortable with our services!
“Early” & “After Hour” Visits
Visits scheduled before 8:00 AM or after 7:00 PM may be available for an additional fee of $20 per visit. These “early” or “after-hour” appointments are designed to accommodate pet owners with busy or unique schedules, ensuring your pets receive the care they need, even outside of regular hours. To guarantee availability, we kindly ask that you coordinate with us in advance before scheduling these visits. This allows us to arrange the appropriate sitter and ensure seamless service for your pet’s routine. We’re committed to offering flexible, personalized care to meet your needs!
