However, in order to accommodate you with a sitter on such short notice there will be a $10 fee added on to your total invoice price.
Are there Cancellation Fees?
Queen City Petsitting, LLC carefully schedules our time to service you and out other clients. Our sitters block out the appropriate time in their busy schedules to accommodate each client 150%. If at least 48 hours notice isn’t made prior to to the first day of service this results in a lost client for the sitter that she or he could have taken on. Therefore, 48 hours notice prior to the first day of service is required for cancellations. If a notice isn’t made to QCP, a $20 cancellation fee will be billed to you.
Are there Holiday fees?
All visits during the holidays will include a $5 per visit holiday surcharge. All Overnight and Boarding services over the holidays will include a $20 per day/night holiday surcharge.

Are there Holiday Cancellation Fees?
Queen City Petsitting, LLC receives more reservation requests during the holidays than any other times of the year. In many cases we have turned away other clients because we have reserved time for you during the holidays. Many of our sitters also choose to not spend time with their families during the holiday in order to spend time with your pets during the busiest times of the year. If you cancel 48 hours or less prior to ANY holiday, you will be charged for one full day of visits.
