How much does pet sitting cost in courtenay?
In-home pet sitting runs $40-$80 per night. Dog walking is $15-$30 per walk. Drop-in visits cost $15-$25 each. Boarding facilities range from $30-$75 per night. Rates vary by city, pet size, and number of pets.
Is pet sitting safer than a kennel?
In-home sitting reduces stress for pets who are anxious in new environments. Your pet stays in their routine, with their food, bed, and smells. Kennels work well for social dogs who enjoy group play and interaction.
How do I find a trustworthy pet sitter?
Ask for references, check reviews, do a meet-and-greet before booking, verify insurance, and ask about their experience with your type of pet. Professional pet sitters should be bonded and insured.
What should I tell my pet sitter?
Provide feeding schedule, medication instructions, vet contact info, emergency contacts, your pet's quirks and triggers, and house rules. Leave a spare key and written instructions. A good sitter will ask for all of this.
Do pet sitters give medication?
Most professional pet sitters can administer oral medication, eye drops, and simple injections (like insulin). Discuss your pet's medical needs during the meet-and-greet. Some sitters specialize in senior or medical-needs pets.
Should I use an app like Rover or hire locally?
Apps offer convenience and reviews but take a significant commission from sitters. Local independent sitters often provide more personalized service, better communication, and may be more affordable. Our directory helps you find vetted local sitters.
