Waarvoor je budgetteert

Legal pay floor

Pet complexity

Service type

Drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and live-in house sitting should be priced separately because responsibility and availability differ.

Legal pay floor

If the sitter is treated as a worker or employee, use current UK minimum wage guidance as a compliance floor before adding role complexity.

Pet complexity

Puppies, senior pets, anxious animals, medication, multiple pets, and specialist routines usually require more preparation and higher rates.

Travel and emergency cover

Budget for travel time, keys and access handover, emergency vet plans, cancellation cover, and written reporting expectations.

Planningsvoorbeeld

Price the responsibility, not only the time

A short visit with medication, anxious pets, or strict access rules can require more skill than a longer routine visit.

Separate pet sitting from house sitting

When home checks, plant care, post, or security duties are included, treat those as additional scope.
