FAQs: Wagtails Dog Sitting

Pop-in visits typically start from £12-15, day sitting from £25-35, and overnight stays from £35-50. Prices vary by location and the level of care needed.
Can a pet sitter look after other animals too?
Yes. Many of our recommended sitters care for cats, rabbits, and small animals alongside your dog. Let us know what you need when you enquire.
How do I book a dog sitter?
Submit an enquiry through our website with details about your dog and what you need. We’ll match you with a trusted, insured sitter in your area.
