Scales and Tails Price list
The best care is priceless
All the prices below are a general rule. However, I can give a bespoke quote to each individual job if you have slightly different requirements for your booking. You can send your specific requirements on the 'Contact Me' page. Click the 'Get in Touch' button.
Pet sitting
£10 for 1 visit in a day, £17.50 for 2 (mileage dependant on location)
This only goes up for multiple animals of the same species if a lot more time is required per visit for feeding, cleaning and fussing. For additional animals that are in hutches/cages that require more cleaning I will charge extra per cage.
This service comes with free extra domestic services such as, plant watering, putting bins out, shopping for basics on your return (to be paid on proof of receipt) and turning on your heating on your return.
With piece of mind that your beloved pet(s) are in great care whilst in the comfort of their own home, this is worth every penny. (Mileage will be added at 45p per mile outside my normal working area)
Dog Walking
From £15 per hour (£10 per 30mins)
We specialise in solo dog walks! This does not mean we will only walk dogs that are anxious and require a solo walk. We are happy to walk any dog whether they can go in a group or not. We just prefer the 1-to-1 approach as dogs can still socialise with other dogs in the park etc but we prefer to have all our focus and attention on just your dog to allow us to really bond and connect with your pooch. This is not only safer but your dog will feel very loved and have lots of fun getting to know us.
For 1 VIP (very important pooch), for a 1 hour walk it is £15.
​
If you have more than 1 dog we are happy to discuss a price for this as they will be used to walking together.
​
If you require shorter/longer walks we can discuss this with you and quote a price for you.
Reptile and small animal Boarding
From £7 per day
Whether you have to bring your own housing to me (£7) or you utilise one of the 8 vivariums (£8) I have available it is a small cost per day for me to keep an eye on them, provide a daily clean, fresh water and food as well as lots of cuddles. If you wish for me to provide the food/bedding this will come at a small extra cost which can be discussed at the time of booking.
​
If you require me to come to collect and drop your pet back off at your home it will be £5 per trip (mileage costs to be added for non local destinations)
Reptile parties, events and 1-to-1 animal handling experiences
Bespoke quotes starting from £40
All parties will depend on each individual client's requirements. I have party bags, decorations, a sweet cart and a bubble machine available to order/hire whether you book a party with me or not. The price will depend on how long the event is to last and how many animals you wish for me to bring. Go to, 'About me and mine!' to meet the animals that can be brought along.
​
Gift vouchers can be purchased if you wish to gift an animal handling experience to someone. These start from £40 for 1 hour.
​
Please note; for the safety of the animals or your guests some of the animals are not able to be handled but can be viewed in their home or in my hands only and questions can be asked.
For the safety of the reptiles, as they require heat and UV for so many hours a day, no event can last more than 3 hours.
Wedding Services
Bespoke to suit your needs
Whether you want to hire us as an extra entertainment factor for your wedding, for animal day care and overnight care or as a wedding pet taxi so that I can bring your pets to your wedding for some very special photographs, I can provide a bespoke quote to suit your needs.
Doggy Drive by
From £7.50
For £7.50 I can drop by for 10 minutes to give your pooch a bit of love and affection and let them out to do their business.
​
If you require me to stop in for up to 30 minutes for some extra play and cuddles it will cost £10.
​
1 hour is £15. Anything over 4 hours we will charge a bespoke day rate to make it cheaper for you.
​
The time I would come in would depend on your requirements allowing for 15minutes flexibility either side of the
time you have requested for traffic and any delays on previous jobs.
Reptile equipment for sale/hire
Subject to availability
This is subject to availability so please contact me to let me know what you need and I can see if I am able to help.
Items currently in stock; bulbs, substrate, reflectors, accessories.
Whether you book a party with me or not, you can purchase reptile themed party bags and decorations. Or alternatively hire a sweet cart and bubble machine to add that extra special fun factor.
Feel free to email me to find out what items I have available.
​
Egg incubator available for hire! A deposit will need to be paid but this will be refunded on return of the item. Incubators can cost around £150 so although you have to put up the cost of the deposit this will be returned to you and as incubators are only needed for a few weeks a year and you may find it unsuccessful this is a cheaper option to see if you can succeed in breeding reptiles. Hire cost per day is only £2.
(Please note that if this item has been hired out, the period it is required for can vary and can be extended so I cannot always guarantee availability of this item.)
Mileage
45p per extra mile out of my usual working areas
Generally I cover certain areas of Sheffield and Dronfield for dog walking and pet sittingin your home. However, I will also cover some parts of South Yorkshire and Derbyshire, for reptile parties and reptile boarding.
My main working areas consist of; Totley, Dore, Bradway, Greenhill, Lowedges, Norton, Norton Lees, Woodseats, Batemoor, Jordanthorpe and areas in Dronfield surrounding Cliffe Park. Anywhere out of these areas will have mileage applied accordingly.
Cancellation Policy

As we are a small, independent, family business we rely on our bookings going ahead.

I hope you all understand this is standard in this industry. Please be aware when making a booking with us you automatically agree to the terms of these conditions. Please see the 'Cancellation policy' in the menu for full details.
