Other similar type services include dog boarding and dog sitting.<\/p>\n<p>Dog sitting is when your sitter makes 3 visits per day to your home, while boarding is when your dog stays at your sitters home.<\/p>\n<p>The best option for all pets, including dogs, is in-home sitting. I cover all the duties, responsibilities, rates and surcharges and anything else to help you choose the best dog sitting company for your dog.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What exactly is In-Home Dog Sitting?<\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of different type of pet sitting services. In-home sitting is when a pet sitter stays in your home and performs all the duties you would do for your dog or other pets.<\/p>\n<p>This is the best option for dogs that need special care like puppies, senior dogs or dogs that suffer from separation anxiety. It is also a good option for cats, but cats are pretty good with just a single visit per day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5408\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5408\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5408 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/dog-separation-anxiety.jpg\" alt=\"Dog with separation anxiety\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/dog-separation-anxiety.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/dog-separation-anxiety-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5408\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In-home sitting is best for dogs with separation anxiety<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Below I cover all the details that pet sitting companies in Philadelphia provide for their in-home sitting service.

Not all companies offer a mid-day walk. You\u2019ll have to pay extra for that.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure to ask how long the walks are, especially if your dog takes forever to do his or her business. You may have to pay for longer walks.<\/li>\n<li>Meals: feedings and walks should be at the times your dog is used to so he remains on a normal schedule.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you are hiring someone to sleep in your home. Some companies only offer pet sitting, but their services page calls it in-home sitting.<\/li>\n<li>Most sitters will also water plants, bring in mail, turn lights on and off, take out the trash, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Besides meals, they will also make sure your dog has fresh water, administer medication.<\/li>\n<li>For larger companies, you should be able to pick your preferred sitter, especially if he or she already knows your dog.<\/li>\n<li>Keep in mind, sitters have other dog walking and pet sitting appointments throughout the day. Most note that arrival time is between 7:00-8:00 for both night and mornings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5411\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5411\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5411 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/in-home-dog-sitting-duties.jpg\" alt=\"Dinner time for your dog\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/in-home-dog-sitting-duties.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/in-home-dog-sitting-duties-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5411\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Feed me &#8211; then walk me!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Rates &amp; surcharges<\/h3>\n<p>There are some companies that simply list their rates and what you get for that. Others have surcharges for everything possible. Here are examples of some of the surcharges.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5412 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/In-Home-Dog-Sitting-cost-300x207.jpg\" alt=\"in-home dog sitting rates\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/In-Home-Dog-Sitting-cost-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/In-Home-Dog-Sitting-cost.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Major holidays will have a higher rate.<\/li>\n<li>Additional dogs: expect a per-day surcharge.<\/li>\n<li>One company in Philly does not include a mid-day walk even though they have the highest rate. Instead, they charge you for their daycare service. Keep that in mind.<\/li>\n<li>Puppies: You will definitely have a higher rate if you own a puppy.<\/li>\n<li>Surcharge for reserving a spot in less than 24 hours.<\/li>\n<li>You may not get your deposit back if you cancel in less than 24 hours.<\/li>\n<li>If you want more than 3 walks or longer walks, then expect to pay extra.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Take a look at my <a href=\"https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/pet-services-blog\/pet-sitting\/in-home-cat-dog-pet-sitting-rates-philadelphia-pa\/\">In-Home Dog Sitting Rates For Philadelphia<\/a> to see the actual costs and rates to give you an actual idea of pet sitting costs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Deposits<\/h4>\n<p>Asking for a deposit is normal to make sure you get a spot and for the company to keep if you cancel within days of the sitting dates.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A non-refundable deposit usually equal to one day of sitting.<\/li>\n<li>The deposit is applied towards the total cost of sitting,<\/li>\n<li>Some companies require the balance in full within 48 hours of the start of the sitting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Reservations<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s always important to reserve your spot well in advance. There are way more dog owners than companies that offer dog boarding or in-home dog sitting.<\/p>\n<p>Schedule as far in advance as possible &#8211; 48 hours is usually the minimum to schedule. Some companies ask you to make holiday reservations 90 days, or more, in advance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5410\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5410\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5410 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dog-sitting-in-home-300x249.jpg\" alt=\"Dog sitting in chair\" width=\"300\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dog-sitting-in-home-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fairmountpetservice.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dog-sitting-in-home.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5410\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Another dog sitting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Cancellations<\/h4>\n<p>I know from my experience that cancellations stink. I\u2019ve lost potential clients more than once when I turned a potential client away because I was already booked \u2013 and then I get the cancellation.<\/p>\n<p>Most companies require 24 hours to cancel any services or your deposit may not be refunded. You will need to give at least one week notice if you cancel a major holiday reservation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Instructions<\/h3>\n<p>This is one of the most important aspects of pet sitting or boarding. Some dogs are easy and the notes are \u201cPlease feed him and walk him 3 times\u201d. Other dogs require more work.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to have a list of anything you feel is important for your sitter to know. Here are some examples of things to communicate with your sitter:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Detailed instructions on how to care for your dog, especially feeding notes and any issues with walking your dog. Aggressive dogs or dogs that go after squirrels are a problem. Let your walker know all of that.<\/li>\n<li>Location of the leash and collar\/harness, toys &amp; treats, bed or crate, etc.<\/li>\n<li>If your dog requires medication then make sure to have detailed notes on where the meds are, how much, how often, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Also, leave the contact information for your vet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Take a look at this article from Canine Journal on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caninejournal.com\/dog-sitting-tips-for-parents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dog Sitting Tips for Parents<\/a> for some great points.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Try to find a company that has flat rates with minimal surcharges. If they do a good job, stick with them for the life of your pets. Also, give them some positive online reviews, testimonials, referrals, and bonuses at Christmas or New Year&#8217;s Eve.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article, I cover all aspects of in-home dog sitting from cost to the duties you can expect from your sitter.
