What is Dog Sitting?

Dog sitting is personalised care for your dog by a trusted local sitter — someone who treats your dog like family. Whether you need overnight care while you're travelling, daytime supervision while you're at work, or just a few hours of company for your pup, a dog sitter provides one-on-one attention in a real home environment.

Unlike kennels or large commercial facilities, dog sitting with a local sitter means your dog gets individual attention, a normal home routine, regular walks, and the comfort of sleeping on a couch rather than in a cage. Dogs are social animals who thrive on human interaction, and a dedicated sitter gives them exactly that.

Dog sitters on The Pet Sitter keep 100% of their earnings — no commission is taken from any booking. This means sitters can charge fair rates, owners get great value, and the focus stays on providing the best possible care for your dog.

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog sitting cost?
Dog sitting rates vary by location and duration, but typically range from $40–$80 per night. On The Pet Sitter, sitters keep 100% of their earnings — 0% commission means better prices for owners and fair pay for sitters.
What's the difference between dog sitting and dog boarding?
They're essentially the same service — your dog stays at a sitter's home overnight. "Dog sitting" often implies a more personal, family-style experience, while "boarding" can sometimes refer to kennels. On The Pet Sitter, all overnight stays are in real homes with individual care.
Can I find a dog sitter for just one night?
Absolutely. Whether you need one night or one month, dog sitters on The Pet Sitter are flexible. Most sitters are happy to accommodate both short and long stays.
Will my dog be with other dogs?
This depends on the sitter. Some only take one dog at a time, others accept a small number. Each sitter's profile shows their maximum pet capacity and whether they have their own pets. You can discuss this during the meet-and-greet.
How do I prepare my dog for sitting?
Bring your dog's food, any medications, a favourite toy or blanket, and your vet's contact details. A pre-stay meet-and-greet helps your dog get comfortable with the sitter and their home before the actual booking.
How do I find a dog sitter near me?
Public search for dog sitters is coming soon. Today, a sitter can share their profile or booking link with you; use it to review their rates, reviews, and home setup, message them, and arrange a free meet-and-greet before booking.
What is overnight dog sitting?
Overnight dog sitting means your dog sleeps at the sitter's home — or the sitter stays at yours — instead of being left alone at night. Your dog keeps their regular walks, meals, and evening company, and you receive photo updates along the way. Sitters keep 100% of the overnight rate, so pricing stays fair for everyone.
