Best Answer

Pet sitting can be fun for a responsible kid who's at least 9-10yrs old, but the parents need to remember that kids can't always do all the work themselves and will probably need the parents help at some point. If the family has no pet experience I wouldn't recommend pet sitting unless you know for sure that the pet your watching is well mannered and trained (unless we're talking fish). If I can answer any pet questions please feel free to contact me through my website: www.valordogs.com (I'm a dog trainer and have rescued and owned everything from fish to dogs to cats to squirrels and many, many gerbils).

Who is likely to hire a pet sitter?

People who would use Pet Sitters are those that are going on vacation, going away on business trips, or anyone who is time poor or needs some extra help in the care of their pets. Pet Sitters are great people and do great job in caring for your pets. Just ensure that the pet sitter whom you hire has public liability insurance (and bonded if in the USA) and some form of pet first aid and CPR certificate (or background via being a vet nurse or similar).

how much does a dog sitter charge a hour?

My pet-sitter charges $15 a day for one pet and $20 for two. My dogs are small (under 15 pounds). I don't know what she charges for larger dogs. She keeps the pets in her home and feeds them for the same charge. i pay 10$ / day......for one pet.....includes feeding, walking, and the pet can stay with the sitter while we are gone or the pet can stay at home. I pets sit I change $30/day for dogs don't do the size of dogs. For the cats just change $10/day because do for cat just clean the litter box once a day.
