Friends of Bill Pet & Home Care- Rates

Where every critter is a Friend of Bill!

Daily Drop-in Visits
30-45 minutes$21 per visit

Surcharge may apply for extraordinary number of pets or visits requiring extended time.

Our type of service is defined as "drop-in". We come by your home at a scheduled time, either morning or evening, (or both) to take care of your precious pets.

Visits are defined as feeding and watering, playtime in-home, litter box cleaning and brush-out grooming. I will also walk your pooch daily at your request to help him stretch his legs.
Other types of pets, (ie: birds, fish, rabbits, reptiles), are charged on a similar scale by visit.

We will also feed your reptile any live food diet at no extra cost. If you would like us to provide the food, a nominal surcharge to cover costs will apply based on the live food required.

We'll take your pooch to his favorite park, or walk him in your neighborhood during the drop-in visit at NO EXTRA CHARGE! It's all part of the service.

Please let us know if your pet has special medication needs to ensure the highest standard of care while you're gone.

Guest Dog Service
Per Day: $40

This is an exclusive service offered on a very limited basis to the best of the best behaving pups. Your dog can stay at Casa Newbegin as one of our Guest Dogs. While you're away your dog is our dog. He'll have indoor/outdoor privileges, personal attention and a great playmate, my Buddy Bill! All dogs must be healthy, current on shots and have zero behavior problems. If you live in my normal service area I can even offer pickup and dropoff service free of charge! Call for availability as these limited spaces fill up fast.

Email Updates

While you're away, you may miss your pet and want to know how she's doing. Just give us your email address and we will post daily messages letting you know how much fun she's having as a Friend of Bill!

Rate: No Charge!

Dog Walks
Are you a busy executive, volunteer, or homemaker with little time to get Rover out for a run? Is your dog dragging you down the street and/or intimidating other dogs and people? Ed's training with the Marin Humane Society and his experience with many "problem dogs" has given him the tools to help you and your dog coexist more peacefully. After an initial consultation, we'll settle on a plan to have him come by your home any number of days during the week and provide a customized, positively-reinforced walk. Local references available by request!
