FAQ's About Pricing

Why do your prices cost more than a neighbor or hobby sitter?

Professional pet sitting is very different from casual help. Our caregivers are trained employees, not gig workers. We’re insured, supported by a full team, and provide consistent, accountable care. You’re not just paying for a visit—you’re paying for reliability, experience, and peace of mind.

How do you charge for visits?

We charge based on the length of the visit, not per task. This allows your sitter to focus on your pet’s needs without rushing. Our visits typically range from 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on what works best for your pet.

Do you charge per pet?

Our pricing is based primarily on time. After the first three pets, we charge a small additional fee ($3–$5 per pet) depending on the type of care required. We do not charge additional pet fees for fish, birds, or reptiles—only for cage or habitat maintenance.

Are holiday visits more expensive?

No. We do not charge holiday surcharges. Your pets deserve consistent, reliable care every day of the year.

What’s included in a drop-in visit?

Drop-in visits typically include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter care, medication administration (if needed), playtime or enrichment, and a general well-being check. We also keep an eye on your home with light tasks like bringing in packages or checking doors.

Do you offer overnight pet sitting?

Yes. Overnight care includes an in-home sitter staying with your pets overnight, following their evening and morning routines. Additional daytime visits can be added if needed.

What if my pet needs medication or extra care?

We have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets requiring medications or special attention. Care needs are discussed during your consultation so we can match your pet with the right sitter and recommend the best visit schedule.

What happens if my sitter is sick or there’s an emergency?

We always have backup coverage. Our sitters are supported by a team and 24/7 management, so your pet’s care is never dependent on just one person.

Do you cover areas outside your normal service zone?

Sometimes, yes. Extended service areas may come with a slightly higher rate to account for travel time, and availability varies.

Why do you require a consultation before booking?

The consultation allows us to meet you and your pet, review routines, discuss care needs, and ensure we’re the right fit. It helps us provide safer, more personalized care from day one.

What if PAWsome Companions isn’t the right fit for me?

We believe the best pet care relationship is one built on trust and alignment. If another provider better meets your needs or budget, we fully support you choosing what’s best for you and your pets.
