How to pay less
- Book regular weekday puppy visits, which many sitters price lower than one-off calls
- Combine puppy visits with a short walk once vaccinations allow, instead of booking both
- Ask for a short toilet-break visit when that is all the puppy needs, as longer puppy visits with play cost more
Before you book
- Check the puppy is microchipped and the details are registered in your name before the visits start
- Tell the sitter your puppy's vaccination stage, so they know whether walks are allowed
- Check the puppy sitter has insurance and a DBS check if they hold your keys
- Leave food, toys, cleaning kit and your vet's details where the sitter can find them

Young puppies cannot be left for long, so many owners book two to four short visits a day while they are out.
Yes. A puppy needs a registered microchip by eight weeks of age, and you must keep the owner details on it current.
Not on public walks until your vet says it is safe. Before then, visits focus on garden time, play and feeding.
Puppy training classes, longer walks and day care are separate services, though some sitters offer them too.
