How pricing works on Pawprint
- The listed price is the price. Pawprint charges pet owners no booking or service fees — providers pay a small platform fee, so the number on the listing is what you pay.
- 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
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.
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.
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.
