Creature Comforts Pet Services LLC

About Us

Creature Comforts, located in Joplin, MO, provides in home pet services for all types of pets including small mammals (gerbils, hamsters), birds (parrots, parakeets), light livestock (a few horses, cows, goats), reptiles and amphibians, and the usual companion animals - dogs and cats. The services range from caring for pets while the owners are out of town (pet sitting), even if just overnight or a long vacation, to dog walking during the day or early evening which can be very beneficial for those with long hours who need a little extra help for pet care, to even transporting pets (pet taxi) to and from the vet, groomer, or daycare if the owner is unable to do so because of their work hours or injury/illness.

We even offer pet services such as:

• overnight sitting for homeowners and their pets when needed
• personal shopping for pet care items and other personal shopping needs

Our fees are based on visits to the home:

• $17 / visit for 1 - 3 pets
• $20 / visit for 4 - 6 pets
• Fee negotiable for over 7 pets or for pets requiring more detailed care such as medication, injections, watering outside plants, overnight stays if needed, etc.
• Pet taxi or transportation has an additional charge of $5 if destination location is within 10 miles of client's home and $7.50 if 11-20 miles from the home.

Clients determine how many visits are necessary for their pets while they are away on vacation and range from one to four visits per day depending on the type of animal and the needs for the animal. (ex. Most cats are okay for one time a day while some inside dogs or medication clients may need 2 -4 visits per day.)
