Dog daycare in Rotterdam: Costs & Rates

Do you wonder what a dog sitter in Rotterdam costs and how it compares to a traditional boarding facility? In this article you will read about the average prices, the benefits of Petbnb and practical tips to make the right choice for your dog.

1. What does a dog sitter in Rotterdam cost?

The cost of doggie daycare in Rotterdam varies depending on the experience of the sitter, the length of stay and your dog's specific needs. With traditional boarding services, prices are usually around €25 per night. For a single walk, traditional dog walking services often lock you into a subscription and prices start around €20 per walk. Because many walkers work with a pack, your dog will get less individual attention. If you're looking for more personal care, then a private walk or sitter through Petbnb may be a better fit.

2. Price comparison Petbnb

Via Petbnb prices in Rotterdam can vary, starting from €20 for both daycare as boarding. You can also choose walking service or a 30-minute home visit. With Petbnb, your dog can be walked from as little as €7 per walk (usually at least half an hour). During busy periods such as summer or holidays, rates may be higher due to higher demand.

3. What services does Petbnb offer?

• Lodging: shelter per night, ideal during vacations.
• Daycare: during the day at the babysitter, convenient for weekdays.
• Nanny at home: the sitter stays in your home - great for cats, multiple animals or dogs who want to stay in their own environment.
• Walking service: walks of about 30-60 minutes.
• Pet sitter (short home visit): feed, water and attention, with no overnight stay.

4. Price differences by babysitter

The price for a Petbnb sitter in Rotterdam depends on experience, amenities and reviews. A novice sitter often charges less, while a sitter with many reservations and positive reviews may sit higher. Extras such as a fenced-in yard, 24/7 supervision, experience with dogs with specific needs (e.g. separation anxiety) or administering medication, affect the price. Does your dog have an active life? Then choose a sitter willing to take long walks and take your four-legged friend to fun hotspots of Rotterdam.

5. Dog boarding vs. Petbnb babysitting

Most important difference between a dog boarding facility and a Petbnb pet sitter is the environment and personal touch. At a boarding facility, your dog often stays in a shared kennel, which can be stressful. With a Petbnb foster, your dog stays in a home-like environment with more personal attention tailored to his needs. This often provides a personal and caring experience for dog and owner.

6. The importance of an introduction

A meet and greet with the sitter is essential to build trust and put your dog at ease. Discuss routines, diet, medication and behavioral traits. This is how you create a safe, enjoyable shelter.

7. Last-minute care

Around vacations, boarding houses fill up quickly. Through Petbnb you can often find faster last-minute care. If you like flexibility, choose a sitter with flexible cancellation policies (flexible by default for daycare). The cancellation policy is always on the babysitter profile.
