Pet risk and routine
Minimum wage floor
BMAS states that the German statutory minimum wage is EUR 13.90 gross per hour from January 2026; use this as a legal floor for worker-style arrangements.
Care format
Separate short visits, dog walks, overnight sitting, live-in stays, and combined home-care duties before comparing rates.
Pet risk and routine
Multiple pets, senior animals, medication, reactivity, puppies, and exact feeding or walking rules should change the budget.
Travel and documentation
Include travel time, handover, key access, written instructions, vet contacts, emergency procedures, and reporting expectations.
Planningsvoorbeeld
Start from scope and compliance
Use the legal floor where employment-like work applies, then adjust for responsibility, travel, and pet complexity.
Avoid one-rate comparisons
A sitter handling two senior pets overnight is not comparable to a short drop-in visit for one low-need pet.
