From in-home dog sitting where your pup becomes part of the sitter’s family to dog sitting in a dedicated and pet-friendly environment, you’ll find the perfect match for your dog’s specific requirements.
In Home Pet Sitting
Some of our pet minders can, if required, stay in your home while you go on holidays and mind your pets for you giving them the attention they require along the way.
Some pets don’t like to be moved and find it stressful to be dropped into a new environment. So the Minder can come to the pet.
Drop Off Minding
Some of our sitters may be willing mind your pets in their own homes. You can drop them off on your way to work or holiday etc. and pick them up on your way back. Convenient, right?
FAQ
What is Pet Sitting
Pet sitting refers to the service provided by caregivers who take care of pets in the owner’s absence. It typically involves feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, and providing companionship.
How do I find a suitable pet sitter?
Our directory offers a wide selection of pet sitters. You can browse through their profiles, read reviews from other pet owners, and choose a sitter who matches your pet’s needs and your preferences. We encourage you to communicate with potential sitters, ask questions, and discuss your pet’s specific requirements before making a decision.
Are the pet sitters insured and bonded?
While our directory strives to connect you with professional pet sitters, insurance and bonding may vary based on individual sitters. We recommend discussing this directly with the sitter during the hiring process. Some sitters may have their own insurance or be part of a professional organization that provides coverage.
How much does pet sitting cost?
The cost of pet sitting can vary depending on factors such as the duration of the service, the type and number of pets, and any additional services requested. Each pet sitter sets their own rates, which will be communicated to you by the minder privately. We are not involved in your payment to the minder or the setting of the fees.
It’s important to discuss pricing and any additional fees with the chosen pet sitter in advance.
What if my pet has special needs or requires medication?
When discussing your pet’s requirements with potential sitters, be sure to mention any special needs, medical conditions, or medication administration.
This will help you find a sitter who can provide the appropriate care for your pet.
How Does Pet Sitting Work?
When you hire a pet sitter from our directory, they will visit your home or provide a dedicated pet-friendly environment where your pet can stay. The sitter will follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and any special requirements for your pet. They will provide the necessary care and attention to ensure your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy.
Can I meet the pet sitter before booking their services?
Many pet sitters offer the opportunity for a meet-and-greet before booking their services. This allows you and your pet to get acquainted with the sitter, ask questions, and ensure it’s a good fit.
We recommend discussing this possibility with the pet sitter when making initial contact.
How far in advance should I book pet sitting services?
It’s advisable to book pet sitting services as early as possible, especially during peak travel seasons or holidays. This will help ensure the availability of the desired pet sitter.
Planning and booking in advance allow for a smoother process and give you peace of mind knowing that your pet’s care is secured.
Can I get updates on my pet while I'm away?

You can discuss your preferences for communication and frequency of updates with the chosen pet sitter.
What if there is an emergency while I'm away?
Pet sitters can handle various situations, including emergencies. They will follow your instructions for your pet’s safety and well-being.
