Colleen D. says, "Stephanie always puts the pets happiness and safety first. I have used her many times to stay at my home and she always keeps in contact with cute pictures and notifies me if anything is out of step with the normal routine, both with my dogs and my house in general. Recently, I had an AC problem and she was able to help me coordinate with repair technicians and make sure my dogs were in a cool/safe sleeping area." Read more

Deanna B. says, "This company provides above average service. I contacted them a few months ago about caring for my cat. The meet and greet set my mind at ease about leaving my cat for vacation. I was impressed with their level of service and attention to detail. So much so I inquired about working for Love Your Pets Too. I recently became a pet sitter for them and I'm happy to say they have the same level of commitment to their employees as to the precious pets we care for." Read more

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?

I loved the often check ins while my girl was boarded with him. Not to mention how Incredible the actual training for my cane corso is. She came home a completely different, calm, respectful well mannered puppy! We have completely enjoyed the entire experience and enjoy the check ins to this day making sure she is still doing well! We loved the training so much that we decided to send our older frenchie for some basic manners and socialization! 10000% recommend !

It is obvious that Jeannette really cares about your pets. She is very attentive to their needs. My regular pet sitter could not accommodate me this time due to the fact my trip was last minute. Jeannette stepped in quickly and had me relaxed from the start. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!!
