Sarah T. says, "I rarely provide reviews, but James deserves 5 stars on all counts! We normally board our senior dog at a “pet lodge” but he’s getting to the point where he needs more attention. James did a pre-visit with our dog and I was relieved to see that our dog immediately felt at ease around him and the new environment. James is exceptionally responsive and trustworthy. He stayed in touch over the week and sent pictures. His pricing is very competitive and he makes drop offs and pick ups a breeze. Look no further if you are seeking pet care!"See more

Sharon F. says, "At times, life is difficult to navigate, and such has been the case for my family in which we have been dealing with multiple adversities. The simplest of life’s tasks become major challenges to accomplish. Having too many things on one’s plate can be stressful. Such is the case when preparing for our departure. Carol and Vincent provided flexibility for a short-notice request. We were able to schedule a meet and greet and finalize arrangements the day prior to our departure. Trusting someone new takes courage, and selecting someone to look over your home and pets can be overwhelming. Both were professional and asked all the right questions while taking notes. There were a couple of miscommunications; however, Carol works well in resolving problems. She is an effective communicator, and seems willing to work with you. We were able to resolve the invoicing and fees successfully. Carol does charge mileage fees if you are outside her radius. She was upfront with me during the meet and greet; however, I can’t verify if that is clear on their advertised pricing. There was a hiccup that was not within Carol’s control. One of our cats was possibly locked in a bedroom and Carol reported to me that she had not seen him. This particular cat is not known to hide, so it was not his usual behavior. Carol worked with me and informed me she had located him. She never was able to catch a photo of him. When our family returned, he was fine, but he soiled my daughter’s bed. Carol was good about working with me to try to find the cat, and notified me immediately when she found him. She sent me photos of damage she found in which a piece of the siding from the exterior of the home by the back door had broken off. When we returned home, I looked to see what had possibly caused the siding to rip off. I discovered that my two dogs had been left outside the entire night from around 6:45 pm until around 6:56 the following morning. Looking at the weather that day, it was snowing and temperatures dropped between 10-15 degrees. It’s heartbreaking watching the videos of my dogs trying to get in and hearing them whine. They are not accumulated to cold temperatures, they are accustomed to pushing mom and dad off their bed and staying warm. When I asked if the dogs had been left outside for an extended period of time (February = Cold in MN), the initial response was no. I mentioned that the damage to the siding of the house might be from the dogs trying to get into the house as it seems they were both left outside the entire night. Carol did take responsibility and offered to repair the siding through her insurance. I am not sure what happened the evening my dogs were left outside. Nearly 12 hours of quiet…how can one miss the presence, or in this case, not present, 200lb English Mastiff and her buddy? Apologies to my neighbors for that evening. Overall, Carol and Vincent provide a professional, friendly service. She was patient because if I was to comment on myself as a customer, I did forget to leave the WiFi password but was able to text it to her. Communication is open and Carol seems willing to accommodate your needs while you’re away. For me, my recommendation would be complete transparency. Notifying me up front of the mishap allows me to provide a respectful response and have time to prepare if things go bad at home."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Pet sitting provides your precious pet with in-home care. A pet-sitter can make a brief visit during the day to provide snacks, playtime or affection, or stay at your house for one or more nights to tend to your pet. Prices for pet-sitting will vary based on length of the visit. Nationally, pet sitting prices range from $20 to $30, although prices run higher for your sitter to stay the night. Prices will also be affected by where you live in the country. Here are some examples of average pet-sitting prices based on length of time and region:

  • 30-minute visit: $17 in a small Texas town.
  • 30-minute visit: $25 in Southern California.
    • 45-minute visit: $28.
    • 60-minute visit: $32.
  • Overnight stay (10 hours): $50 in Texas.
  • Overnight stay (10 hours): $85 in Southern California.
    • 12 hours: $100.
    • 24 hours: $200. This is a good option for a sick, elderly or brand-new pet that needs constant supervision.

House-sitting can be a lifesaver when you’re leaving town for any length of time. Whether you work remotely, you’re taking a much-needed vacation, or you just want to road-trip for a few days, it’s wise to have a pro keep an eye on your house and pets while you’re gone. Your home is more likely to stay safe and you won’t have to wrangle the kitty into a kennel to travel with you. The national average pet-sitting price ranges between $20 and $30. Pet-sitting and house-sitting costs will vary based on where you live in the country and regional labor rates. Another factor in cost is how long you want the house-sitter to stay. Some people prefer to have the house-sitter stay the night at their house, perhaps to care for an elderly pet or simply to keep a watchful eye on the home at all times. Overnight stays will cost more, ranging anywhere from $50 to $100, depending on services provided. For day visits, house-sitting and pet-sitting prices will increase incrementally the longer the visit and the more service you want performed. For example, a quick 10-minute visit to feed and walk the pet and bring in the mail could be $12.50, a 25-minute visit could be $18, a 40-minute visit $25, and a 50-minute visit $32.
