What to compare

When you compare quotes, compare the all-in number: the rate plus any checkout fee, minus cashback. On Petme that is just the rate, minus cashback.

FAQ

Pet sitter costs in Birmingham, answered

How much should I budget for a week away from Birmingham?
Seven nights in Birmingham comes to about £196 to £315, on the local £28 to £45 per night band. House sitting in your own home is priced per night too, so a week is costed the same way. Petme adds no owner service fee at checkout.
When is pet sitting most expensive in Birmingham?
The summer holidays, Christmas and the school half-terms are the busiest travel windows in Birmingham, and the best sitters book out first. Rates can rise during those periods, so reserve two to four weeks ahead.
Why is one Birmingham sitter more expensive than another?
A second pet, medication, and reactive or senior pets can add a small premium to the Birmingham ranges above, and so can very long stays. Recurring weekly walks usually work out cheaper per walk than one-off bookings, so a standing slot costs less than ad hoc cover.
What is the going rate for a pet sitter in Birmingham?
Expect roughly £28 to £45 a night for dog boarding in Birmingham, £12 to £20 for a 30-minute walk, and a similar amount per drop-in visit. Each sitter sets and shows their own rate on their profile, and Petme charges owners a 0% service fee, so nothing is added at checkout.
Does Petme add a service fee at checkout in Birmingham?
No. Petme takes a 0% commission from owners, so a £28 night in Birmingham is billed at £28. On platforms that add a booking fee, the sitter’s listed rate is only part of the total. Here it is the whole of it, and completed bookings earn you cashback.
