If you need a pet sitter today, send the request form or a Telegram message marked "urgent" with your city, address area, animals and the time you need help. PetHome Israel tries to find a vetted sitter for same-day cat visits (from 110 ₪), dog walks (from 70 ₪) or a short boarding stay (from 220 ₪ per day). We cannot guarantee same-day availability, but we reply quickly and tell you honestly what is possible.
Typical urgent situations
- A sudden work trip or a family emergency.
- A call-up for miluim.
- Your regular sitter or a friend cancelled.
- You are stuck abroad because of a cancelled flight.
- You need to go to hospital.
What to send for the fastest reply
- City and neighbourhood.
- Animals: species, number, size, age.
- What is needed: visit, walk, boarding, overnight stay.
- Start time and expected end date.
- Medication, if any.
- How keys can be handed over: in person, a neighbour, a lockbox.
What is easiest to arrange
Cat visits and dog walks are usually the easiest to arrange at short notice, because sitters can fit them between other bookings. Boarding and overnight stays need more planning, but we always check.
When you cannot be home
If you are abroad or in hospital, keys can be passed through a neighbour, relative or building concierge. Name a trusted contact who can let the sitter in and make decisions. The sitter sends photo and video after the first visit, so you know the care has started.
Transport
If your dog needs to be taken to a sitter or a vet, a pet taxi from 180 ₪ can collect it. In a life-threatening emergency, call the clinic directly and go there if you can.
What still applies
Even urgent bookings include responsible handling of keys, checks of windows, doors and the safe room, medication exactly as your vet prescribes (+30 ₪ for tablets, +50 ₪ for injections) and photo and video after every visit. The minimum order is 350 ₪.
Avoid the next emergency
Once the urgent moment has passed, it is worth setting up a regular sitter who already knows your pet and has a spare key. Next time, one message is enough.
Cancelled flights abroad
If your flight home is cancelled and nobody is caring for your pet, send the request with the name of someone in Israel who can open the door. We look for the nearest available sitter and send you photos after the first visit.
