Aquarium needs will vary according to your installation. Call us to set up a free
initial consultation where we will meet with you and design a program to suit your
needs. For guidance, here is our typical pricing schedule.
Expert Advice and Consultations
We will meet with you at you home and discuss with you your needs and desires
for a new installation, or problems you are having with a current aquarium. We
can advise you on where to buy equipment, what you will need, how much to
budget and which fish can live happily together. Since we do not sell products or
materials, we can provide independent advice on what to buy. We can also train
you on proper maintenance, cleaning and feeding practices.
Aquarium advice in your home : $60/hour, minimum one hour
Satisfaction guaranteed - if you aren't happy, then we won't charge you.
Vacation tank checks and feedings
While you are away on vacation, our experienced tank sitter will make sure your
tank is running properly - checking water chemistry , topping up water and
adding the correct amount of food. You have too much invested to trust it with well
meaning but inexperienced neighbors or friends.
Tank Sitting : $20 for 15 minute visit
Cleaning and Maintenance
Too busy to properly maintain and clean your tank? Just want to enjoy the fish
without the hassle of performing the maintenance? Don't worry, we can help.
Cleaning and Maintenance : $50 for 1 hour.
For all our services, the cost of materials and supplies used will be additional
if not provided by the homeowner.
Remember, Ellie's Pet Sitting is fully insured for the protection of our customers if
something does go wrong while your pets are in our care.
