Basic rates

£50 for one dog per 24 hours. This includes:

  • Me arriving at an agreed time and staying for up to 24 hours. Each 24 hour period after that is another £50.
  • One big morning walk of up to two hours plus another walk later in the day of up to about an hour if your dog likes that, and as much outside / garden access as your dog needs. If your dog likes more walks I can split this time over additional walks.
  • Feeding your dog as you usually would, with food/treats you supply.
  • Administering their usual medication.
  • Keeping your home safe and looked after, e.g. taking the bins out, accepting deliveries, watering plants, feeding fish etc.

Shorter visits

I don’t normally do drop-ins or sitting for less than an overnight stay as the travel needed usually makes this infeasible, but in some cases I am able to do this. Where I am able to do this, the fee for this will be £30 for up to 14 hours.

Extras

Additional dogs after the first at an extra £10 per 24 hours per dog.

I don’t pet sit for just cats, but if you have both cats and dogs then an extra £5 per 24 hours for up to 3 cats.

After getting to know your dog and your situation it’s possible that I might identify reasons why I may have to charge you a higher rate. These include, but are not limited to, things like:

  • If your dog has medical issues that dramatically increase the amount of work required.
  • If your dog has severe separation anxiety to the point where they cannot be left alone for an hour. I’m never away from the dogs for much more than an hour a day but I do have to grocery shop etc. This can be overcome by having groceries delivered but it makes everything more challenging.
  • I will travel to you by public transport and will need you to cover the costs for this. In some cases such as if you need me to arrive in the early hours of the morning public transport won’t be feasible in which case I will ask if you can arrange a pick up or travel by Uber or minicab.

Any extras I have identified will be discussed and agreed with you before your booking starts.

Payment terms

I require payment in full before your booking starts.

If you’re a new client and are uneasy paying me before I have attended, I suggest leaving the payment in cash in your home for me to collect when I arrive.

Payment methods

Before your booking starts you will receive an invoice, and my bank details will be on there. Payment is accepted by bank transfer or cash on arrival.
