For Cats
Brooklyn Bark offers in-home visits to check on your cat! Our cat-sitting appointments range from 20 to 45 minutes. 45 minutes is the required appointment time for households with 3 or more cats.
If your cat requires SubQ Fluids or Insulin, select "Cat Visit - Medication" service when you're booking your appointment in Time to Pet. This is the option for you! Pill pockets and or oral injections do not require the "Cat Visit - Medication" service option.
Service Add-On
Menu
Feeding + Water Change
Our care associates are knowledgeable about the most popular feeder and fountain models. We follow your precise instructions and our own rigorous protocols to make sure your cat has fresh food and water along with clean bowls. We also confirm that your feeder or fountain is running properly and safely!
Litterbox Cleaning
We know cats are finicky about their spaces, especially their private ones. Our care associates will clean your cat’s litterbox every appointment and add more litter or litterbox box additives as needed. If your litterbox requires more than 10 minutes of care (i.e. a deep cleaning) we will add an additional fee to your service price.
Playtime
We know some cats enjoy alone time, but for the more social breeds, our care associates will spend any additional appointment time engaging your cat with their favorite toys! For the more mellow cats out there, we offer light brushing and of course, cuddles.
Light Grooming
When requested, our care associates can perform light brushing in order to mitigate any hairballs.
& Critters
Brooklyn Bark offers in-home visits for your small critter: guinea pig, hamster, rabbit, snake, or bird.
Multiple appointment durations are available, 45 minutes is required for 3 or more critters.
Feeding + Water Change
Based on your precise instructions and our Brooklyn Bark protocols, our care associates will refresh water and food for your rabbit, guinea pig, or hamster. We clean each bowl before refilling it so your little one is never exposed to harmful bacteria.
Enclosure Check
Different types of habitats require different maintenance. Our team is versed in different enclosure types so that we can correctly clean them as well as check for any potential issues such as broken toys, loose doors, temperature regulations, etc. If your animal’s habitat takes more than 15 minutes to clean there may be an additional charge added to your cost of service.
Specialty Snacks
​
We know how much we love snacks, it's no wonder small mammals get so much enrichment from their specialty treats like fresh hay, veggies, pellets, and fruit. Your Brooklyn Bark care associate will adore giving your best friend their favorite treats!
Litter/Bedding Change
Separate from enclosure cleaning, we make sure your pet's waste won't get in the way of their environment or their health. We always dispose of litter/used bedding outside of your home unless otherwise requested.
