Booking, protection, meeting your sitter and cancellations.

Visit the help centre

If you need to cancel your booking, a refund is possible depending on when the cancellation occurs and the type of service booked.
For boarding, house-sitting and visits:

Cancellation at least 72 hours before the start: full refund of the service (excluding service fees and HoliVet fees).
Less than 72 hours before the start: 50% refund of the unused days (excluding service fees and HoliVet fees).
For dog walking:
At least 24 hours before: full refund (excluding fees).
Less than 24 hours before: 50% refund (excluding fees).
Please note that service fees are non-refundable. The refund is issued to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days.
In special situations, our team can review your case individually.
If needed, you can contact us at any time via the Support button in your account. We are here to assist you.

The total price is calculated using a simple formula:
Daily rate × number of days × number of pets + applicable fees.
For example, if a sitter charges €20 per day and you book him for the week-end (2 days) for you pet:

Base price: €40
Service fee (15%): €6
HoliVet fee (2%): €0.80
Total: €46.80
Service fees cover:
Secure payment processing
Fund management until the end of the stay
Customer support assistance
HoliVet fees activate the guarantee during the stay. It may cover veterinary expenses in case of an accident, up to €500 per claim and €1,000 maximum per booking, according to the conditions defined in our Terms & Conditions.
You can view the daily rate per pet directly on the sitter’s profile.
When confirming your booking, the full price including all fees is clearly displayed before confirmation, so you always know exactly what you are paying.

Our new Holidog platform has recently been launched, and we are progressively importing our sitters.
We now require more detailed information and conduct additional security and quality checks. During this transition phase, fewer profiles may appear in search results.
The number of available sitters will gradually increase in the coming days as profiles are updated and the new verification process is completed.

Sitters have 72 hours to respond.
However, we strongly recommend not waiting the full 72 hours if you do not receive a reply within the first few hours.
To maximize your chances of confirming a booking quickly, it is best to contact several sitters in parallel.
Here are a few tips to find a sitter faster:

Prioritize highlighted profiles: our algorithm naturally promotes sitters who respond quickly and positively.
Check the last connection badge: profiles showing “X hours ago” or “online” are more likely to respond quickly.
Avoid profiles with a high refusal rate: this information is also displayed in the badges.
Sending multiple requests from the beginning significantly increases your chances of finding the right match!

Booking on Holidog follows a clear and secure step-by-step process designed to protect both you and your pet.
Here is how it works in detail:

You send a booking request
Choose the sitter that best matches your needs and send a booking request for your selected dates and service. At this stage, no payment is made yet.
The sitter reviews your request
The sitter has up to 72 hours to respond. During this time, you can exchange messages to discuss your pet’s habits, specific needs, and any important details.
The sitter accepts the request
If the sitter confirms availability, you receive a notification with the final price clearly displayed. This amount includes the daily rate and all applicable fees.
You complete the payment securely
To confirm the booking, you need to finalize the payment directly on our platform. It will be securely held and only released to the sitter after the service is completed.
You organize a Meet & Greet (recommended)
Once the booking is confirmed and paid, you can schedule an introductory meeting. This allows you to meet the sitter, review expectations, and ensure everything feels right before the big day!
The service takes place
On the agreed date, the sitter takes care of your pet according to the arrangements discussed. During the stay, you may receive updates and photos.
After the service
When the booking is completed, the sitter receives his money and you can leave a review on the sitter’s profile. Your feedback helps other pet owners make informed decisions!
At any time, you can track the status of your request or booking directly from your Dashboard.

On desktop:
Go to your Dashboard and click on “My Requests” in the left-hand menu.
On mobile:
Go to your Dashboard and tap the “Requests” icon at the bottom of the screen.
This gives you complete visibility over every stage of the process, from the initial request to the end of the service.

Absolutely! It is even strongly recommended 😊
The introductory meeting, called a Meet & Greet, is part of the normal booking process. It allows you to:

Meet the sitter in person
Discover the environment where your pet will stay
Check interactions with other animals
Share important details (feeding, medication, habits, specific instructions)
For security reasons, the Meet & Greet feature becomes available only after the booking is confirmed and paid. This guarantees commitment from both parties and ensures you are protected through the platform.
If after the meeting you feel it is not the right fit, you can cancel the booking before the service begins. You will be refunded according to our cancellation policy and can search for another sitter with peace of mind.
Our goal is for you to leave feeling confident and reassured.
