A quick once or twice daily visit to feed, play with, and check on your
pet. Ideal for
independent pets who are comfortable being alone for
most of the day but still need basic care and
companionship.
Night Sitting (12 Hours)
Perfect for pets who need extra care and company
overnight, but are used to being alone during the day
while their parents work. Ideal for pets who struggle with
being home alone at night and need the reassurance of a
familiar presence until morning.
Night Sitting (16 hours)
Best suited for pets who are accustomed to shorter
periods alone during the day but need companionship
from mid-evening through the morning. Ideal for pet
parents who want extended evening and overnight care
to keep their pets relaxed and secure.
Hourly Sitting
Flexible daytime care in your home for pets needing extra
attention, whether you’re at work, out for the day, or
attending events. Great for puppies, senior pets, or those
with anxiety or special needs who benefit from constant
companionship.
Security Checks
Your home’s safety is also important to us. We do perimeter checks upon every visit, ensure gates and doors are locked, and alarms are set. Your address is never shared and your privacy is always respected.
Plant Care
We ensure your indoor and outdoor plants get sufficient attention, sunlight, and water while you’re away. Our services also include taking out the trash, cleaning up, and picking up poop/cleaning litter.

FAQs
What is pet sitting and what does it include?
Pet sitting is an in-home care service where a professional pet sitter visits your home to care for your pets while you’re away at work, on vacation, or traveling. Our pet sitting services include feeding, once or twice daily check-ins, overnight stays, fresh water, medication administration, litter box cleaning, playtime, exercise, and lots of love and attention. We also provide home care like bringing in mail, rotating lights, and watering plants. Each visit includes photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing.
What should I prepare for the pet sitter before my trip?
Before your first pet sitting visit, please leave detailed care instructions, feeding schedules, medication with dosage information, your veterinarian’s contact details, and emergency contacts. Ensure you have enough pet food, medications, litter, and supplies for your entire trip plus 2–3 extra days. Leave leashes, harnesses, and toys easily accessible. We’ll conduct a complimentary meet-and-greet before your trip where we’ll walk through your home, meet your pets, collect keys, and answer any questions.
How far in advance should I book pet sitting for vacation?
We recommend booking pet sitting at least 2–4 weeks in advance for vacations, especially during peak travel seasons (summer, holidays, spring break). For holiday periods like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, book 2–3 months ahead as our pet sitters’ schedules fill quickly. Last-minute and same-week bookings may be available depending on demand; contact us to check availability. Once you book, we’ll schedule a free meet-and-greet before your departure. Book with us regularly to receive priority booking and discounts.
What’s the difference between pet sitting and pet boarding?
Pet sitting means your pets stay in the comfort of their own home while a professional pet sitter visits to provide care, while pet boarding (or kenneling) requires taking your pets to a facility where they stay with other animals. Pet sitting offers major advantages: your pets maintain their normal routine in a familiar environment, experience less stress and anxiety, receive one-on-one personalized attention, and your home stays secure with routine checks, plant watering, and light rotation. Pet sitting is especially beneficial for anxious pets, senior animals, cats (who are very territorial), pets on special diets or medications, and multi-pet households.
