FAQ for finding pet care near you
What is pet care?
Pet care is essentially babysitting services but for a pet -- aka pet sitting. For example, you can hire pet care if you work long hours and need to make sure your dog is being let out to go to the bathroom or taken on a walk. You can also hire pet care when you’ll be out of town and need someone to stay with your pet or check in on them to make sure they have enough food, water, socialization, and bathroom opportunities.
How much does it cost to hire a pet care provider in 2023?
The average rate to hire a pet care provider through Care.com as of September, 2023 is $13.74 per hour. The cost will fluctuate depending on your city, the individual services that you'll need, and the number of pets to be cared for.
What are my pet care options?
When looking for pet care, the most popular options include hiring a pet sitter if you would prefer to keep your pet at home, or taking your pet to doggy day care or kitty day care if your pet thrives with socialization.
What type of animals can I find care for?
Most sitters can care for dogs and cats, but there are pet care providers who can care for other animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, birds, fish, and others. You can find pet caregivers who can care for different types of animals on Care.com.
What is included in pet care services?
All pet care services vary greatly and really depend on the unique needs of your pet. For instance, if you have a dog you’ll have very different pet care needs than if you have a cat. If you go out of town for a weekend, your dog will require walks and bathroom breaks alongside fresh food and water. A cat however would only require food, water, and litter box cleanings. Pet care providers can also socialize with pets so they don’t get lonely, can brush them, and can handle more advanced pet care like administering their medicine.
