some things to know about our pricing & payments

Smitty Sitting understands how expensive kenneling animals can be, and we strive to provide an affordable service. We want to hear what kind of budget you are on and work with it best we can. That being said, we Create our pricing after evaluating our customers' info and application. Meaning we cannot guarantee staying at your desired budget, but we will try our best to have a comfortable price for you.

We accept Cash, Venmo, and Cash-App
(We do charge a small fee when using Venmo/Cash App)

We’re unable to give a price estimate before customers fill out our application questions. This is because we take into consideration, location, travel/gas, number of animals, types of animals, animal behavior, vacation length, and more.

We require payment prior to your booked dates, no later than the day you leave for your trip. Ensuring your spot on our calendar, and security for our sitters.
