What affects the price

  • Visit type. Drop-in visits cost less than overnight stays in your home.
  • How many pets. Extra pets usually add a little per visit, not a full second fee.
  • Care needs. Medication, puppies, and senior pets take more time and can be priced higher.

How pricing works on Pawprint

  • No booking fee for pet owners. Providers pay the platform fee. Your total depends on the package and booking details, and is shown before you confirm.
  • Your card is only charged on acceptance. Booking sends a request; payment happens when the provider accepts, and it's held by Stripe until the job is done.
  • Prices are set by providers. Every listing shows its packages up front, so you can compare real options side by side instead of requesting quotes.

Common questions

What’s the difference between a drop-in visit and overnight sitting?

A drop-in is a scheduled visit (often 30–60 minutes) for feeding, play, and clean-up. Overnight sitting means the sitter stays in your home, which costs more but keeps routines intact.

How far in advance should I book a pet sitter in Los Angeles, CA?

For normal weeks, a few days ahead is usually fine. For holidays, book as soon as you have travel dates — the best-reviewed sitters fill first.

Is it cheaper than boarding?

Per night, drop-in sitting usually costs less than boarding; overnight sitting is comparable or a bit more. Which is right depends on your pet — see our boarding vs. sitting guide.
