Aix has a particularly active pet-sitting community thanks to the local university student population — over 200 listed sitters across the main platforms (Animaute, Pawshake, Holidog, Rover). Walking rates run from €10 for a 30-minute solo walk to €18 for a 1-hour group walk; overnight sitting in the sitter's home is typically €25–€40 per night.
French platform founded by a veterinarian, with 70+ sitters and dog walkers listed for Aix and surrounding communes. Profiles include host-at-sitter, sitter-comes-to-you, drop-in visits and dog walking; in-house insurance and 24/7 emergency support.
💡 Filter for sitters with vet-confirmation badges — these have uploaded their vaccination records and most accept Booking-day bookings at no premium.
European platform with 60+ active sitters in Aix-en-Provence, including students from Aix-Marseille Université during term-time. The Pawshake Guarantee provides veterinary cover and a 24/7 hotline; profiles ranked by Trustpilot-style verified reviews.
💡 Pawshake's student sitters are usually cheaper than Animaute's professionals by 20-30 % for the same service — useful for week-long bookings during October–May term-time.
French-Belgian platform with the largest geographic coverage in Aix (1,800+ listed sitters across all neighbourhoods and outlying communes). Specialises in long-stay sitting (5+ days) at the sitter's home; lower-end rates for budget travellers.
💡 Holidog premium membership (€19/month) unlocks unlimited bookings and removes the per-booking 15 % fee — worth it for stays over 10 days.
