FAQs for finding in-home pet sitting near you

What is home pet sitting?

Home pet sitting is a babysitting service, but for your pet. You can hire a home pet sitter to play with your pet, feed them, change their water, walk them, and make sure they are generally taken care of when you can’t be home to look after them.

Can I hire overnight pet sitting in my home?

Yes, you can hire a home pet sitter to stay in your home with your pet overnight. When you search Care.com for pet sitters, you can review different provider profiles to see who is comfortable staying in your home overnight.

What does it cost to hire someone for home pet sitting in 2026?

The national average rate for home pet sitting is $16.27 per hour as of May 2026. This rate can vary depending on where you live, what kinds of pets you have, the extent of the care your pets need and how often you need the person to come to your home.

What kinds of home pet sitting services can Care.com help me find?

There are many different services that home pet sitters can provide, but most providers on Care.com will cater to dogs and cats. However, there are plenty of other pet sitters that will come to your home to care for other animals you have. Just make sure you ask each person you contact what their experience is caring for the pets you have.

What are the duties of a pet sitter?

The duties of a home pet sitter can vary and depend on both your needs and your pet’s needs. For example, if you’re gone for one night and have a cat, you may simply want someone to pop in to check in on them to make sure they have enough food and water. If you have a dog and will be gone for a week, you may want to engage at home home pet sitting services to stay with the dog in the home all week to play with them and walk them.
