Services & Rates​
Whether you are going to be away for a few days or for an extended period during the day, Family Compass is a full-service pet sitting company that caters to you, the pet parent. We match your pet with one of our caring, vetted sitters, make all scheduling arrangements including any requested meet & greets, handle all payments to the sitters, and, most importantly, ensure all of your questions or concerns are answered by humans.

​The services provided by Family Compass are based on your needs, not ours. There are no additional premiums for weekends and holidays, no mileage costs, and no extra charges for activities that every pet parent routinely does and wants for their furry family members, such as giving them treats, cuddling with them, playing with them, and exercising them. All sitting jobs and visits in your home include a range of time, not a set number of minutes. This allows for flexibility in how the pet sitter can care for your pets.

​While you are away, our professional sitters are available to provide updates to you. As Family Compass values the privacy of our families, our sitters will never share your pets' information or pictures without your consent.​
