I found 28 companies that offer in-home dog sitting and I list their rates and the zip codes they service. I also have rates for in-home cat sitting for 14 of the 28 companies.

In-home pet sitting is when a pet sitter stays in your home while you are away. This is great because your dog, cat or other pets are in familiar surroundings. This is better than boarding if you don’t mind someone in your house. And it is way better than using a kennel.

The added benefit is the security of your home. Your pet sitter will come and go giving the appearance of someone home throughout the day.

Zip Codes for In-Home Dog Sitting

To help you choose the right company I included links to each of their websites. I also include the zip code (ascending order) of the service area for 13 of the companies.

You will have to go to 14 of the websites for the companies that service many Philadelphia neighborhoods. Most of them show maps of their service areas or list the neighborhood names. It would have been too difficult for me to convert everything to zip codes. Here is a zip code map for Philadelphia to help you decide if they are in your area.

Also, 2 of the companies do not list the zip code or neighborhood that they service. You’ll have to contact them directly to see if they service your area.

The highest rate for in-home dog sitting is $100 per night, the lowest is $50 with an average of $75. I also have cat in-home sitting rates which are similar though tend to be a little lower.

The article is called Pet Service Rates but it also includes other subjects like Philly dog parks, pet-friendly hotels, 24-hour emergency vets, and adoption locations. Check it out if you are interested in other pet services located in the city.

Below is a comprehensive list of cat sitter rates for companies for companies in Philadelphia, PA. Most have a standard cat sitter rate, though some have higher rates for different reasons. I link to their service area page if they have one. Otherwise, the link goes to their rates page.

The table lists 38 companies that have websites and that list their cat sitter rates If you can’t find a company in your area, there are cat sitters that do not have websites. Most of the time they will have Facebook business listings. You should also try sites that list local businesses like Yelp, Merchant Circle, Google Business listings, etc.

I used a dash ( – ) in the table for two reasons. The first obvious one is if a company does not have a cat sitter rate for a particular visit time. In that case, the dash would be under both the minimum and maximum columns. I also used a dash under the “max” column if they just have a single rate for the visit time. I did not want to clutter the table with repeating numbers. Take a look at my rates under Fairmount Pet Service. My 15 & 20-minute visits are a flat $12 and $15 respectively, but my 30-minute visit ranges from $$18 to $21.

Cat Sitter Max & Min Rates and Additional Fees

• Table “Min” values: This is the minimum or standard rate for each company. It may also be a discounted rate for a certain amount of visits per week.
• Table “Max” values: This is a higher rate that usually includes fees for night or weekend visits or visits during “off-peak” times. Or the higher rate may be if you do not meet the minimum # of visits per week for the discounted rate.
• Additional fees: Part of the “max” number are surcharges for nights and weekends. Also common are charges or fees for more than one cat, off-peak visit times and administering medicine. If you have more than one cat, the extra fee that some companies have is for 2 or more cats. But most either do not charge for additional cats or have a surcharge for more than 3 cats.
