Whether you are looking for overnight pet sitting rates, or dog sitting rates for a week, Pet Owners should first get an understanding of how and why Pet Sitting costs can differ. • The average cost of a 30-minute home visit is $35, while overnight pet sitting costs $75 to $85 but it depends on the services offered, geographic location, popularity, training and accreditations, seasonal demand, years of experience, specialist skills, and whether the service you book through includes liability insurance. • Overnight Pet Sitting Rates for 1 pet: • Low-end cost range $45-$50 per night • National average overnight cost $55-$65 per night • High-end cost range $80-$95 per night • The Average cost of Pet Services in Australia • Below are the prices that you can expect to pay for different services carried out by Professional Pet Sitters in Australia. • Service Options Average Cost Per Dog Per Day • Home Visits $35-$40 • Pet Boarding at a Sitter’s Home $38–65 • House Sitting Overnight (8pm -6am) $35–90 • Kennels (per day) $25–50 • Dog hotel (per day) $46–90 • Luxury dog hotel (per day) $80–120 • Doggy day care (per day) $20–65 • Things that impact on whether a Sitter is likely to give you a discount are: whether you are a loyal long term customer, whether you have multiple pets, or whether you are booking a long stay. • Services generally occur at the client’s home, and pet sitters either provide ongoing pet care for busy pet owners or as a one-time or short-term service as needed. • Pet Sitter Rates, How much does a Pet Sitter cost? Pet Sitter Prices. • Factors that affect the cost of a Pet Sitter • Geographic Location • Inner Metro areas in capital cities versus Regional Country areas affecting pricing. Inner-city metro areas where there is high density living in apartments, means more Pet Owners competing for a Sitter. Sitters conveniently located near airports, offices, or affluent suburbs, where Pet Owners might commute frequently to the office or travel for work or leisure. Coastal Holiday hot spots are also high demand areas. • Seasonality. • Peak holiday season is much higher because demand is much higher due to more Pet Owners travelling away. So periods such as Easter break, June/July School Holidays, September Holidays, or Christmas / New Year • Experienced and In-Demand • Pet sitters who are just starting out or have less experience may set prices that are a bit lower than more experienced sitters who are in-demand. Over time as they get more bookings and gain experience that deserves some extra compensation, they may choose to slowly raise their prices. • Experienced, popular pet sitters are in high demand, months in advance of peak holiday season. • Every pet sitter on PetCloud determines their own prices for each service. However, on PetCloud we use a minimum price floor to prevent Sitters undercharging and devaluing their time. We value our network of sitters and want them to get fairly compensated. • Popular sitters who receive a lot of booking requests may set higher rates because their time and space is limited. PetCloud sitters who provide home dog boarding or doggy day care offer low volume personalised care. This means that they only take in a very limited number of pets at one time. Some sitters may also choose just to take in 1 guest pet at a time. • Unlike a big kennel or dog hotel, they can’t accommodate 10 or 20 dogs at the same time. So although the price of home dog boarding is not necessarily cheaper than in a kennel, it is much better value, less stressful, and more hygienic. Most kennels will charge for extras like photo updates, extra space, walks and playtime. However, this is all included with a PetCloud pet sitter and your pet will also get to be more comfortable in a home environment.

This gives you plenty of opportunity to find the perfect sitter for your pet. • Accredited Training from recognised Industry Institutions • RSPCA Accredited Pet Sitters are in high demand • Some Pet Sitters have RSPCA Qld Accredited Training which teaches the Sitter animal welfare standards. They also understand their obligations when it comes to Council bylaws, are also Police checked, and insured. This usually reflects in highly rated Reviews of Sitters. • Insurance • Booking an insured Pet Sitter means that you will be protected against the financial burden of large emergency Vet bills should your Pet become ill or accidentally injured due to negligence. • https://www.petcloud.com.au
