For a last-minute pet sitter, send a request marked "urgent" with your city, animals, dates and how keys can be handed over. PetHome Israel replies quickly and tries to find a vetted sitter, starting with cat visits (from 110 ₪) and dog walks (from 70 ₪), which are easiest to arrange at short notice. We cannot guarantee availability, but we tell you honestly what is realistic.
What is easiest to arrange quickly
- Cat visits — sitters can fit them between other bookings.
- Dog walks and dog daycare (from 180 ₪).
- Home boarding (from 220 ₪ per day) — depends on free space.
- Overnight sitter (from 380 ₪ per night) — hardest at short notice.
What to send
- City and neighbourhood.
- Animals: species, size, age, medication.
- Start time and expected end.
- Key handover: in person, neighbour, lockbox.
- A trusted contact in Israel if you are already away.
If you are already abroad
A neighbour or relative can give the key to the sitter. After the first visit you receive photos and video, so you know care has started.
Transport
If your dog has to get to a sitter, a pet taxi from 180 ₪ can collect it.
Avoid the next emergency
Set up a regular sitter with a spare key. Next time, one message is enough. The minimum order is 350 ₪.
Before a holiday
Last-minute requests just before Passover or the autumn holidays are the hardest. If you think you might travel, send a request early; plans can be adjusted later.
What still applies
Even at short notice, the sitter handles keys responsibly, checks windows, doors and the safe room, gives medication exactly as prescribed (+30 ₪ per tablet dose, +50 ₪ per injection) and sends a photo and video after every visit. If the first available sitter is in a neighbouring city, we tell you and confirm the arrangement before the visit.
