Frequently Asked Questions

1How much does pet sitting cost in Nanuet?
Pet sitting in Nanuet costs $25-$125 per visit/night. Drop-in visits (30 min) run $20-$35, and overnight stays in your home are $75-$125/night. Holiday rates are typically 1.5x standard pricing.
2What is the difference between pet sitting and boarding?
Pet sitting means a caretaker comes to your Nanuet home to care for your pet in their familiar environment. Boarding means your pet stays at a facility. In-home sitting is ideal for anxious pets, senior animals, or multi-pet households — plus someone is checking on your house while you travel.
3How do I find a reliable pet sitter in Nanuet?
Ask for references, check Google reviews, and verify they are insured and bonded. Professional Nanuet pet sitters should do a free meet-and-greet to learn your pets' routine. Ask about their backup plan — the best sitters have a network of backup sitters to ensure your pet is never left without care.
4What should I include in instructions for my pet sitter?
Prepare a written sheet covering: feeding schedule and exact portions, medication names, doses, and timing, your vet's name and number, the nearest 24-hour emergency animal hospital, your cell and a backup contact, any behavioral quirks (fear of thunder, door-darting), where leashes, food, and first aid supplies are kept, and your WiFi password. Write down the ASPCA Animal Poison Control number (888-426-4435) — it is the fastest resource if your pet ingests something unknown. The more detail you provide, the more confidently your Nanuet sitter can handle unexpected situations.
5What certifications should a pet sitter have?
Look for pet sitters certified through Pet Sitters International (PSI) or the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS). Both organizations require members to carry insurance, pass a pet care exam, and commit to continuing education. PSI and NAPPS sitters can also complete Pet First Aid and CPR certification — a valuable credential for anyone caring for your animals while you are away. Certification is not required in Rockland County, but it is a meaningful signal of professionalism.
