FAQs for finding dog sitters near you
What are dog sitters?
A dog sitter is a professional caregiver who can take care of your dog when you can’t be there to look after them. A dog sitter will make sure your dog has plenty of fresh food and water, takes their medicine, and is able to go on walks and bathroom breaks. A dog sitter can also keep your dog company and play with them so they don’t get lonely. You may be able to find a dog sitter who can pop in and check in on your dog during the work day or may want to drop them off at doggy day care instead.
How much do most dog sitters charge?
All dog sitters set their own unique rates and that rate can be impacted by where you live, how many dogs require care, and the level of experience the dog sitter has. As of September, 2024 the average hourly pay rate for dog sitters on Care.com nationwide is $14.94, but again, your location can affect the actual rate you’ll pay.
Are dog sitters worth it?
A good dog sitter can be worth their weight in gold when it comes to your peace of mind. When you can’t be home to look after your furry friends, you can hire an in-home dog sitter to make sure your dogs are well taken care of. This can make it much easier for you to relax when you’re on vacation and can help ensure your dog’s health and wellbeing.
How can I find good dog sitters in my area?
If you’re looking for an in-home dog sitter, you can turn to Care.com to make your search much simpler. To start, you can narrow down your search by location and price so you can find a dog sitter near you who charges a rate that works for your budget. From there you can read individual dog sitter profiles to learn more about their experiences and the services they offer. Don’t forget to read reviews from former clients to learn more about what it was like to work with each dog sitter.
What services do dog sitters provide?
Before you hire a dog sitter, it’s best to interview them first. This will give you a chance to inform them about what services you’re looking for and they can confirm which they can handle. For example, if your dog needs medicine administered to them, you need to confirm the dog sitter is comfortable giving them their medicine. In-home dog sitters can walk dogs, feed them, refresh their water and clean their living space, and can play with them so they don’t get lonely. You can also ask how long they can stay with your dog, but for longer term stays, you may want to consider dog boarding kennels.
