Cost of hiring a pet sitter in Fort Lauderdale

What is the cost of hiring a pet sitter in Fort Lauderdale?

Let’s discuss the cost of hiring a pet sitter in Fort Lauderdale. As most of you know the pet sitting industry has boomed over the past several years. Some are organized pet sitting and dog walking companies which are insured and bonded either working as a sole proprietor or having independent contractors or employees. Other pet sitting companies are people trying to earn extra income.

I see a lot of pet sitters and dog walkers charging by time. They will have prices listed on their website such as $xx.00 for 15 minutes and $x.00 for an additional dog and $xx.00 for 30 minutes and so on.

There are many factors that determine the cost of hiring a pet sitter in Fort Lauderale and they are as follows:

• How far away is the client, or is the client on their current route? Distance could play an important factor in determining cost.
• The number of dogs in your home and do they walk well together? Pets with special needs are also taken into consideration.
• The length of service assignment needed. The cost may decrease or the pet sitter may offer a “flat fee” if the assignment is lengthy.
• Services required. Is it just a stop in and let the dog out for a potty break and make sure there is food and water, or do you want full service.

As you see there are many ways to determine the cost of hiring a pet sitter in Fort Lauderdale. Pet sitters and dog walkers determine a fair price for their services. In the Fort Lauderdale area the range is anywhere from $18.00 to $25.00 for these types of services.
