How Much Does Dog Walking & Pet Sitting Cost in Athens

There's no fixed price list on Petit-o — every sitter sets their own rate, so "how much does it cost" always has a range, not a single number. Here's what that range actually looks like in the Athens market today.

Dog walking: €10–18

A single walk usually runs €10 to €18. A short, everyday walk (around 30 minutes) tends to sit at the lower end; longer walks, multiple dogs together, or areas with higher demand for sitters push it up a bit. If you book a recurring schedule (daily walks, say) rather than one-off sessions, many sitters offer a better rate — worth asking directly.

Day sitting: close to walk pricing, a bit more

Here the price depends more on what's included (feeding, play, a walk during the day) than on a fixed rule. Since it takes up more of a sitter's time than a single walk, it typically costs a bit more — but the exact number is on each sitter's profile before you send a request.

Overnight boarding: €15–35 a night

For an overnight stay, whether at the sitter's place or yours, prices run roughly €15 to €35 a night. Factors like the type of pet or any special needs (medication, a specific diet) can shift where it lands within that range.

Why the price varies so much sitter to sitter

Because Petit-o works on a radius around your location rather than a fixed list of covered areas, sitter availability — and so the price you see — can vary depending on how many are active near you at any given time. On top of that, a sitter's own experience plays in: some with more reviews or more specialized services (experience with dogs that need medication, say) may charge a bit more.

What doesn't change is the transparency: every sitter's price is visible on their profile before you send a request, there's no negotiating outside the app, and payment goes through Petit-o securely — not cash, not off-platform.
