Beginning February 1, 2026, ExecuPets will be implementing new Last-Minute Scheduling Surcharges for certain services booked with less than seven days’ notice.
Why this change?
As our client community continues to grow, last-minute bookings require additional administrative time and often force our staff to rearrange existing schedules on short notice. These changes are meant to:
Fairly compensate our team for sudden schedule changes
Help us continue accepting last-minute requests when possible
Encourage advance booking, which helps ensure availability and smoother operations
Maintain consistent, high-quality care for all clients
Clients who book in advance will continue to enjoy no additional fees and the greatest flexibility in scheduling.
Services Affected
The following services will incur a Last-Minute Scheduling Surcharge when booked with less than seven days’ notice:
As-Needed Dog Walks
As-Needed Pet Sitting
Hourly Pet Sitting
Overnight Deluxe (Stay-In Pet Sitting)

Last-Minute Scheduling Fees
7 days or less notice: $5 per visit
72 hours or less notice: $10 per visit
48 hours or less notice: $15 per visit

Paws On Demand Plans: Designed for flexibility and not affected, except for bookings made with 24 hours or less notice, which will incur the $20 fee
We truly appreciate clients who plan ahead—it allows us to say “yes” more often, respond faster when last-minute needs arise, and continue taking great care of your pets without compromising service quality.
As always, if you have questions or would like help choosing a plan that best fits your schedule, we’re happy to help.
Thank you for trusting ExecuPets with your home and your pets 🐾
