Hello! I’m Brianna! Bri for short. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs on and off all my life. I enjoy every minute of it! I have two Dachshunds at home and I love them dearly, also helped take care of my mothers late Yorkie, Mikey when he was unable to walk and feed himself. We had a beautiful 20 year old Calico cat who recently crossed the rainbow bridge, who was and still is very much loved—— and I am more than excited to take your fur babies out for walks and to house sit them while you and your family are away! I use a bicycle as transportation for the moment. I live in the Taylor area and I have a lot of spare time, and budget frien...

I feel that the pet industry community has slowly over the years has been slowly separating from trusting and opening up to other fellow Pet-Parents while within the same movement of doing this, though at the same time seems extremely obvious to many, been isolating themselves from everything and so much that is going on just on the opposite side of their front door.. Over time, we have all witnessed or been in a eye-opening, shocking predicament of which ourselves or our animals, I'm sorry, our Fur-children has suffered with witnessing or unfortunately became a part of a soul crushing life altering event whether it is them (or even sometimes

Your dog sitting questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much do dog sitters charge?

Dog sitters charge $10 to $20 per hour for a drop-in visit or $35 to $65 per night, depending on your location. Dog sitters may charge more for holidays or if your home is outside of their service area. Costs may also increase if your dog has special needs.

Do you tip dog sitters?

While dog sitters do not expect a tip, tipping 15% to 20% of the total bill is common. Tip on the low end if your sitter did everything they agreed to do. Consider tipping more if they exceeded your expectations or handled any unexpected problems or emergencies.

What do dog sitters do?

Dog sitters come to your home and care for your dog while you are away. Drop-in visits typically last 30 minutes and include feeding, walking, and some play or cuddle time. Overnight visits may be at your home or the sitter's home and give your dog more time and attention than a drop-in visit.

Hiring a dog sitter gives your dog more personalized attention than a pet boarding facility and is a great option for dogs who deal with separation anxiety, dogs who do not do well in a kennel or around other animals, and older, less agile dogs.

Do dog sitters stay overnight?

Most dog sitters offer drop-in visits and overnight options, with overnight stays typically costing more. Many dogs do fine with only drop-in visits for feeding, walking, and some attention. Consider overnight sittings if your pet has high separation anxiety or needs more attention than a short visit provides.

How do I choose the best dog sitter near me?

When searching for a dog sitter, be sure to:

  • Choose a sitter who has a licensed and insured business.
  • Ask if they belong to any professional organizations, such as the National association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS), Professional United Pet Sitters (P.U.P.S.), or the Association of Pet Sitting Excellence (APSE).
  • Review their profile and feedback on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Ask for and check their references.
  • Arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure he or she is a good fit for both you and your dog.

What questions should I ask when hiring a dog sitter?

Ask the following questions to ensure you find the best dog sitter near you:

  • What experience do you have?
  • Do you specialize in specific animals or breeds?
  • Do you belong to any professional organizations?
  • Are you trained in pet CPR?
  • Can we schedule a meet and greet beforehand?
  • What is included in your standard rate?
  • What is the rate if I have more than one dog?
  • How and when do I pay for the service?
  • Do you offer dog monitoring service?
  • How long do you stay?
  • Can you give my dog medication?
  • Do you offer any house-sitting services in addition to dog sitting?
  • What is your protocol if there is an emergency or if my dog needs immediate medical attention?
  • How do I get in touch with you while I'm away?
  • Will you update me after each visit?

Jaclyn M.
Katie and Bandit are friendly and very caring. Easy to work with and provided excellent care! Kept my furbabies busy with walks and play time. Continued a regular routine just like home. Provided daily updates and was easy to reach when needed with excellent communication! Would not hesitate to use again and highly recommend when you are in need of an animal sitter! I think my 2 dogs miss Bandit already!
