Holidays
There is a $10 daily surcharge added to invoices for services provided on the following federal holidays:  New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Rescued Dog Discount

Payment Procedures
For regular midday dog walking clients, an invoice for services will be generated on the final day of each month. Payment is due no later than the 15th of the following month.

For dog and cat sitting clients, a confirmation/invoice will be generated upon booking. Payment is due upfront and can be mailed to or dropped off at our office.  Please do not leave the check at your home for the pet sitter to pick up. 

Clients who use on-line bill payment services through a bank can send payment that way as well.  We recommend making the account number your pet’s name so that we can easily identify your payment.

Please make checks payable to SAVING GRACE.

Saving Grace accepts Visa and Master Charge. We keep card information securely on file and payments are processed on or about the 10th of each month. A processing fee will be charged either annually or monthly.

Tips for walkers and sitters are greatly appreciated but not expected. If you do wish to leave a gratuity, you may either leave it directly for them at your home, or include extra with your payment. 100% will go to the walker.
