I have been working with dogs for over 18 years. I have worked with several pro trainers learning from the best, and still continue to work with some of the best. I have several videos of my work to show that I know what I'm doing. Your dog will exceed in my program. The obedience your dog will receive will be really sharp I assure you will be more than content. Another great thing is if you do our board and train your dog is eligible for FREE re-fresher lessons for the life of the dog. The most satisfying part about what I do is making communication easy for both client and dog. Just imagine your dog being an absolute joy to be around. Your ...

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?

We have used Little Fairy’s Groomers twice now for all 5 of our pups. They range in age from 5-12 and weight from 9-65. All the pups love the groomers and come back in excellent condition looking wonderful. I didn’t realize that LF Groomers was a luxury salon but our pups deserve it and they treat our pups as if they were made out of gold. I know that they are well taken care of when they are there.

Bugsy always has a wonderful time. I am always so happy to leave him with Maureen and her dogs and visiting pets. She is great and has lots of homey space, and a great backyard setup for dogs. Bugsy is happy when I pick him up and sad to leave the company of the other pets. She always sends pictures of how he’s doing and hanging with the other dogs. I highly recommend her!

Paige is so great with my dogs. She has this vibe with them thats like “I think you’re so cute and cuddly but I am in charge and that is not up for debate” and they pick up on it. I really feel like she loves my dogs and that is so much more than what you could ever buy or expect. I’m grateful for her, as are my dogs and I can comfortably say that I recommend her for anyone in need of dog services
