Dog/fish/house sitter recommendation needed for Dane County

ruhogwild · 06-12-2006, 05:45 PM

We are looking for someone who can watch/play/feed our dogs and take care of our saltwater fish while we are out of town. Does anyone use someone (trustworthy and reliable) in the Dane County (Brooklyn/Oregon) area that they can recommend? We are also interested in hearing what people are paying for such a service and if they stay at your home or just stop in a couple of times a day.
:lol: Thank you for your time. ~ ruhogwild

I formerly did invoices for We Care Pet Care of the Oshkosh-Fox Valley area and they had just increased pricings in the spring of 2005. A single Visit will range from $18 (local)-$33 (long-distance). So four visits would round off to about $72(local) -$132(long-distance). Overnights is where the company really made off well, off hand I don't recall what the bill was but I do remember they were costly. But you can figure hourly rate to be about $32.00 an hour.

I hope this insight helps. Good luck searching.

32 an hour??? I am in the WRONG business LOLOL

If I was closer I would watch them for ya, for ALOT less than that.
Only 30 an hour,, just kidding,,, A week charge would be around 100, that is for stopping in once a day to feed and check on fish, and taking dogs home with me, if they were kid safe and would get along with our retriever/collie mix.

What kind of dogs do you have and how many?

Just curious, if I hear of anyone I will let you know
