- overnights, holidays, and additional household tasks
Minimum-job example
A visit minimum covers travel, home entry, feeding, cleanup, updates, and the responsibility of each check-in. In the calculator, try your expected billable hours first, then use the minimum-job result as a check against short appointments or small projects.
Pet Sitter pricing FAQ
Should pet sitters charge more for medication?
If medication requires extra time, skill, or strict timing, define a transparent add-on and confirm the care instructions before accepting the booking.
How are overnight stays priced?
Clarify the arrival and departure window, daytime availability, walks or visits included, and whether the sitter can leave for other commitments.
Should a pet sitter publish an hourly rate?
An hourly figure can be useful internally, but the customer-facing format should match the work. Use per-visit, overnight, or package pricing with add-ons for additional pets, medication, holidays, and extended care and make travel, materials, revisions, or add-ons clear before the job begins.
How do I use this pet sitter pricing calculator?
Start with the suggested inputs, replace them with your own monthly costs, income goal, and realistic billable hours, then use the result as a planning floor—not a guaranteed market price.
