    Pet Sitting Discounts Available...
     
    • DISCOUNT FOR PETS ADOPTED FROM A SHELTER OR NON-PROFIT RESCUE GROUP:
     
    As a way to thank you for saving a life by opening your home and heart to a homeless cat or dog, I offer a discount of 5% per visit, if your pet was adopted from a shelter or non-profit rescue group.  Request for discount must be made in advance... sorry, but no refunds can be given if request is made after payment has been made. 
    (Note:  Due to overhead expenses, I am only able to offer this discount per visit, not per rescued pet... Thanks for understanding.)
     
     
    • DISCOUNT FOR MY NEIGHBORS OF CANTERBURY LAKES & THE PAVILION (33619 zip code):
     
    Because I do not have the "usual" overhead expense of gasoline for traveling to homes within Canterbury Lakes and the Pavilion, I am happy to pass my savings onto you, via a 5% discount per visit for residents of both of these nearby communities.
     
     
    • $10 REFERRAL DISCOUNT on the care of your pets, when you refer a customer to me. (Discount to be given after services are rendered and payment is received/cleared from referred customer.  One discount, per referred customer.)  Alternatively, I will gladly make a $10 donation in your honor, to a non-profit charity of your choice!
