The cost of dog care depends on the type of service, the length of care, the location and your pet's needs. Many people wonder, before their first trip or a longer absence, how much dog care costs and which form will be best for their pet.
What does the price of dog care depend on?
The price depends primarily on: the type of service, the length of care, the number of walks, the location, the size and needs of the dog, the timing (e.g. holidays or summer holidays), and any additional requirements for the caregiver. 🐶 The cost of a short walk looks very different from round-the-clock care at the caregiver's or the client's home.
How much does a petsitter cost for a dog?
The price of a petsitter depends on what kind of care you need. A petsitter can: stay with your dog for a few hours, provide round-the-clock care, or live with your dog while you're away. 🧡 At Alvis, services are tailored individually to the needs of the dog and the caregiver, so the final price depends on the form of care chosen.

How much does a home visit for a dog cost?

How much does dog care cost at the owner's home?
Overnight care includes a stay at the agreed location and the selected package's services. It does not automatically mean continuous sitter presence for 24 hours. Confirm whether and how long the sitter may go out, the included walks and whether care without leaving the dog alone is needed. Compare the complete scope rather than the daily rate alone.
99 zł per day
2 walks of 15 minutes + 1 walk of 45–60 minutes a day 151 zł per day
2 walks of 15 minutes a day 129 zł per day
Is a petsitter better than a dog hotel?
The label alone does not identify the better arrangement. For boarding facilities and sitters alike, check animal numbers, separation arrangements, overnight staffing, walks and emergency procedures. A dog may settle in one setting and struggle in another. A meeting and specific answers are more useful than a general promise of a homely atmosphere.
Why isn't it worth choosing the cheapest care?
A low or high price alone does not establish quality. Request the exact scope, relevant experience, communication arrangements and backup for sitter illness. Check reviews and the profile, and retain agreements in the booking. A low-priced visit is not directly comparable with overnight care including several walks.
How can I check the exact cost of dog care?
The best way is to get an individual quote. This way the price takes into account: the city, the dates, the type of service, the dog's needs, the length of care, and the number of walks. 📍 At Alvis you can easily check the full pricing and service availability online.
How to compare two quotes without surprises
Write down the same requirements for both quotes: location, dates and handover times, animal numbers, walks and the longest acceptable human absence. Ask about supplements and how the final day is charged. Agree what you supply, including food, equipment and medication, and check change and cancellation terms.
For example, overnight care with two short walks is not equivalent to a stay with three longer outings. First align both options with your dog's actual needs, then compare the total stay cost. Article prices were checked against Alvis service price lists on 30 October 2026; confirm the current amount and agreed scope in your booking before accepting it.
