Pet hotel charges anything from $20 to $40 for boarding per dog. Walking the dog ranges from $8 to $20 for 30 mins. Bathing your dog may cost another $10.Then you will to pay compulsory charges like de-fleaing and de-ticking which is about $50. There may be other hidden charges.<br />Let's work out and see how much would you pay a pet hotel per day for your pet dog.<br />Let's say boarding = $30 ( working on the average)<br />Walk 2x a day = $20 ($10 per walk)<br />Total per day = $50<br /><br />( and if you add $50 for de-fleaing/de-ticking and$10 for bath and divide by,let's say 4 days of boarding,it may cost $15 more a day)<br /><br />Therefore if you add the $50 a day for boarding and $15 for compulsory defticking,bath,walks,you would pay $65 a day.<br />But here at my place,your pet is Not caged up and sleeps in air-conditioned room with me if need be. We would walk your pet up to 5 times a day if you like and clean their legs and backsides after they poo poo or pee. We would bathe him/her once a week and dry their fur/coat with a dryer. Here your pet gets 24 hrs care a day as well as spiced with love and attention.<br />In conclusion,S$50 a day is very cheap. Dozens of expatriates and local dog owners can't be wrong ( read their compliments in our web page).<br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Q) Would there be other dogs besides mine?<br /></span><br />A) Yes, there would be other dogs but we will try to limit the number to 4 at any one time.However,due to overlapping bookings we may have more than 4 at a time but it's rare.<br />There are times when your pet can be the only one here with us<br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Q) What is the ratio of dogs to a pet sitter?</span><br /><br />A) The ratio is usually 2 dogs to 1 dog sitter. Sometimes, it could be the other way round i.e. 2 dog sitters to 1 dog.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Q) Do you provide food for my dog?<br /></span><br />A) No we do not provide food<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Q) My pet eats cooked food at home,so can you cook for my pet and how much do you charge for that extra work?<br /></span><br />A) Yes,we can cook for your pet and we do not charge anything for that extra work.However,you have to provide the food.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Q) How many times do you walk the dogs and how much do you charged per walk?<br /></span><br />A) We walk the dogs up to 5 times a day but it is all up to the owners.No,we do not charge for the walks.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Q) If I were to board my dog from 1 July to 7 July 2007,how do calculate the charges?<br /></span><br />A) In this case we will count as 7 days,which means S$350.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Q) Can I bring my pet to your place before the start of his stay so as to get<br />to know you and your place?<br /></span><br />A) Certainly and we encourage that.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Q) I am worried about my dog when I am overseas.Can you send reports of my pet via email?<br /></span><br />A) We want you to have peace of mind and so we do provide reports via email and better still,we create private<a href="http://petbelle.blogspot.com/"> <span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">blog</span>s </span></a>for your pet dog with photographs and short videos of him/her once every 2 to 3 days.<br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Q) My dog sleeps on the bed with me and as such do you allow my pet to sleep in the same room as you?<br /></span><br />A) Yes, we do allow pets to sleep in our rooms.<br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Q) How do I make payment?<br /></span><br />A)Please pay $100 as deposit and the balance when you bring your pet on the day of commencement of boarding. All payments should be in cash<br />Please note that cancellation of boarding shall result in the forfeiture of the deposit.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Q) Do you leave my pet alone?<br /><br /></span>A) No, at least one dog sitter will always be with your pet 24 hrs. a day (24/7)<br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Q) How do I ensure my pet would not pick up fleas/ticks etc during boarding?<br /><br /></span>A) There is absolutely no guarantee that your pet may not be infected with the above. However, we strongly recommend you apply "Frontline" at least 24 hrs before boarding at our place so as to protect your pet.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7040152359090884980-8565706208566210620?l=dogsitterfaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09563540755288695635noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040152359090884980.post-77735065730756380932007-09-06T01:56:00.000-07:002009-05-25T23:52:29.262-07:001)All dogs are to be licensed.
