Pet Care Prices in Finchley

Calm, one-to-one dog walking, house sitting and pet care prices

If you are looking for dog walking or pet care in Finchley, you probably want two things straight away:

  • clear prices
  • a clear idea of what is included

I keep things simple.

All services are delivered in your home or local area.
There are no group walks, no vans and no kennels.

I work on foot across Finchley and nearby North London postcodes, with care built around your pet rather than a packed schedule.

Dog walking prices

All dog walks are one-to-one and tailored to your dog.

Solo dog walk prices

House sitting prices

For pets who are more settled staying at home, house sitting is often the easiest option.

Your dog stays in their own home.
I stay overnight and follow your normal routine as closely as possible.

House sitting prices

  • Overnight house sitting – £60 per night
  • Full-time house sitting, where the dog cannot be left alone – £100 per night

Included with house sitting:

  • overnight stay in your home
  • morning and evening care
  • walks, feeding and medication
  • home security and presence
  • regular updates while you are away

If your dog struggles with kennels, boarding or sudden changes in routine, house sitting is often a much better fit.

Puppy care

Puppies need shorter, calmer support than adult dogs.

Visits are designed around your puppy’s age, routine and confidence.

Puppy care prices

  • Puppy visit or short walk, up to 30 minutes – £15
  • Puppy care package – custom plan, price on request

Puppy care can include:

  • toilet routine support
  • confidence building
  • gentle lead introduction
  • calm handling

If you have recently brought a puppy home, I can help keep things steady and manageable rather than overdoing it too soon.

Cat sitting

Cats usually cope best when they stay in their own environment.

Cat sitting visits can be a better option than the stress of a cattery, especially for cats who rely on routine.

Pricing for cat visits follows the home visit rates above:

  • Single visit – £15
  • Two visits in one day – £25

Included:

  • feeding and fresh water
  • litter tray cleaning
  • medication if needed

Big dogs

I do work with large and strong dogs, including rescues.

Safety always comes first.

If a dog needs handling beyond what I can safely provide, I will say so. That is better for everyone, including the dog

If you have a larger dog, you can read more about my approach to walking bigger dogs here.

What can affect pricing?

Most prices are straightforward, but they may vary if:

  • multiple pets need separate care
  • extra time is needed
  • complex medication is involved
  • care is needed outside normal hours

Any changes are discussed before booking.

Which service is right for your pet?

If you are unsure, here is the simple version.

Solo walks may suit if your dog:

  • needs one-to-one care
  • does not cope well in groups
  • prefers a quieter pace

Rescue support may suit if your dog:

  • is nervous or reactive
  • needs more structure on walks
  • is still settling in

House sitting may suit if your pet:

  • does not cope well away from home
  • relies on routine
  • is older, anxious or sensitive

Cat or small animal visits may suit if your pet:

  • is happiest in their own environment
  • only needs home-based care
  • benefits from routine and familiar surroundings

If you are not sure, get in touch, and I can help you work out what fits best.
