I apologize for the increases, but due to the high cost of gasoline, distances of some customers (up to 20 miles away), and the time it takes to do some jobs, I find it is costing me more to be in business than I am making. At times, jobs that used to be 30 minutes have now become 60 minutes as clients have add extras of medications, supplements, extra cleanings, and more animals etc. I am always willing to go the extra mile, but the 30 minute trips that have become 60 minute trips isn’t fair to the clients paying the  30 minute rates.  All trips are 30 minutes with your pet unless you request the hourly rates. Thank you for your understanding in these matters. This will make it fair for everyone. Your precious ones will always get the loving, and special care that I have given in the past.
