All rates are subject to 5% GST.

Along with pet care when you are away, you can rest assured that your home is being given the lived-in look. The following are always included free in our pet-care services:  bringing in the mail, altering blinds and lights, checking windows and doors, watering indoor and outdoor plants, and other safety and security measures as discussed with you. 

A no-commitment get-acquainted interview will be arranged to allow you to meet us and for us to meet your pet
This interview is approximately 45 minutes long. 

In preparation for the interview with us or any pet care provider, interview checklists are available at http://www.acpsn.com/forpetparents/forms.htm

Home Check:  

We provide a general home security check, bring in the mail, alternate blinds and lights, water your plants inside and outside, put out the garbage and recycling, and turn on/off radio or TV, and give your home the "lived-in" look.  We will also read the water meter and call it in, forward mail if required, wait for service providers or make arrangements for them, check that the sump pump is working, etc. We will provide regular updates to you.  This service are automatically included free with most pet services. We are insured & bonded.

The Home Check is available for west and south sections of Winnipeg west of the Red River, including the Osborne area.

Note:  Our focus and priority is on pets and pet-related services. For the summer, we suggest that you make arrangements to have your lawn mowed. For example, a lawn service specializes in that business and they have their own equipment. Your own equipment is never used and never damaged!  Their prices are reasonable and they do an impressive job. For the winter, we suggest a snow clearing service.  

_________________________________________________________

Pet Check:

The Pet Check is for cage animals such as guinea pigs, birds and other small animals. We refill the water and food dishes and ensure the pet is doing well.

For birds, we replace the paper, wipe down perches, provide fresh fruits and vegetables and fresh seed.

The Pet Check is available for west and south sections of Winnipeg west of the Red River, including the Osborne area.

_________________________________________________________

Quick Break (10 minutes):

The Quick Break is geared for pets that need to be checked on during the day or just need a break in the yard. The Quick Break is offered between 10 am and 2 pm. Water and food dishes are refilled.

 The Quick Visit is available to the St. James / Assiniboia / Charleswood / Tuxedo / River Heights / Wolseley areas.

_________________________________________________________

Mid-day Breaks:
  
Break with yard exercise or a short walk (15-20 mins): This is a longer visit than the Quick Break. This service is ideal for dogs that need that extra outdoor break during the day. Afterwards we refill the water dish, give a treat, and ensure your dog is comfortable for the rest of the afternoon. Visit length is based on the pet's needs.

Break with a longer walk (30 mins): We ensure your dog has a great workout and fun. So while you are at work or busy elsewhere, your dog will have an opportunity to get outside for a break and stretch their legs with a walk around the neighbourhood or park, or perhaps, if your prefer, in your own back yard. We adjust the exercise to the age, size and health of the pet.  Shorter walks are suitable for smaller breeds, pups and older dogs, and during weather extremes.  Longer walks will give a larger dog a great workout. After the walk we wash and refill the water dish and leave your pet with their favorite treat. Walks are provided by an experienced dog handler. 

Warning! This service may be addictive to your dog. Clients report that their dogs start looking out the window about an hour before our arrival.
 We use only gentle techniques and positive reinforcement in dog handling.  

We will include more than one dog from the same household, however when more than one is walked, they should be leash trained and used to walking together. We are experienced in handling large dogs and we use only gentle techniques in handling.  Note:  For their safety all dogs are walked on-leash. We will use a 27' retractable leash in parks to allow for extra exercise. 

The Mid-day Break is available to the St. James / Assiniboia / Charleswood / Tuxedo / River Heights / Wolseley areas.

New Puppy Support:  

Puppies need regular breaks and plenty of one-on-one attention. If you work during the day, this visit may be just what your puppy needs. We will assist with the house breaking of your new puppy by keeping them on a regular schedule, give them their extra meals and water, and engage them in some exercise and play. 

It is recommended that puppies not be walked until after their second set of shots, and even then, caution is advised until the third set is received.  

Puppies are usually not walked for an extended period. They benefit more from play and short bursts of activity rather than prolonged walks. Their bodies are changing and developing, and for some breeds extended walking may not be suitable for the first year.

The Puppy Visit is available to the St. James / Assiniboia / Charleswood / Tuxedo areas / River Heights areas.
Generally the puppy visit is 20-30 minutes and the rate is $14 plus GST, however an extra charge may apply for distance.

Vacation Care for Dogs:   

For those times when you are away for a day, weekend or longer, this service includes all the basics that your dog needs including quality time with lots of love and attention.  We provide two to three unhurried visits a day with each visit including exercise, play time and time for feeding and refilling the water dish.  It will always include plenty of one-on-one to keep your dog happy. A snout-to-tail check is included. 

We also provide this service for puppies and it works very well. By confining the pup to a smaller area, rather than crating, we found that the pups are very comfortable. With longer visits of about an hour, three times a day, a regular schedule is adopted. The occasional "accident" does occur, but if the pup is in an area where the floor can be washed easily, it isn't a concern. This type of schedule provides an opportunity to train a pup as well.

The routine:  Pups and older dogs receive the same type of routine. Upon arrival, they receive exercise outdoors and then back indoors for feeding, if required. We will also clean up, provide fresh water, provide short periods of training interspersed within the visit, if required, and then head back outdoors. A final outdoor break is done just before departure so that your dog will be comfortable until the next visit.

Vacation Care for Dogs, with three visits a day, is available only for the west sections of Winnipeg for St. James-Assiniboia, Charleswood, Tuxedo, River Heights & Wolseley. Rates start at $14 per 30-minute visit. Longer visits can be arranged for a small additional fee.

Vacation Care for Cats - the Kitty Visit:   

We spend quality time with the pet providing lots of TLC and interactive play.  In addition, this visit includes feeding, washing and refilling the water dish, scooping the litter at each visit, brushing, and providing a head-to-tail check to ensure kitty is okay. We will also wash out the litter box(es) and replace the litter as required. 

Vacation Care for Cats is available for west and south sections of Winnipeg , west of the Red River, including the Osborne area.

_________________________________________________________

Extra TLC Pet Care:

TLC Pet Care is for the pets that need that extra bit of attention. We ensure that they are doing well and receiving the attention that they need.

_________________________________________________________

Private Boarding:

This service is for the regular clients of our mid-day break service and other services. We provide in-our-home care for your dog(s) for those times when extra care is required. For puppies, we will continue with training and socialization. This service is offered to only one or two dogs at a time. Each dog will receive walks during the day plus exercise in our fenced yard, and lots of one-on-one attention in a peaceful environment.

_________________________________________________________

Walk & Train - This highly interactive session is unique to Pets Stay Home.  During our 30-minute session our goal is to promote awareness in your dog of his surroundings and environment.  We spend time in showing him or her different situations, encountering people on the street, dogs and vehicles. This session is especially suited to the dog that needs socialization. We work on loose-leash walking and do not expect dogs to heel.  We offer plenty of opportunities to stop and sniff.  This service is offered on a limited basis only. Longer sessions can be arranged.

_________________________________________________________

Pet Transport - Transport of pets to the vet, groomer, home, etc. We also provide airport pick up and drop off. If your pet is flying into Winnipeg for veterinary or other care, we will take care of the transport. We use a van with a separate air-conditioned compartment for your pet.
