Curious About Dog Sitting? Here’s the Answer

How does in‑home dog sitting work?

With our in‑home dog and puppy sitting, we come to your home and care for your dog in the environment they’re familiar with, feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and loving companionship — all while maintaining their normal routine.

Will my dog get updates while I’m away?

Yes! We provide regular updates, including photos and notes, so you always know how your pup is doing and what they’ve been up to during visits.

Can you give my dog medication or special care?

Absolutely. We can handle basic medication administration, and for advanced care like bandage changes, insulin, or special feeding, we offer it with prior instructions (additional fees may apply).

Do I meet the sitter before booking services?

Yes! We recommend a meet & greet so you, your dog, and the sitter can get comfortable with each other, go over routines, and make sure it’s a great fit before your trip.

How many times a day can you visit?

We can visit your home up to four times per day. From quick potty breaks and play sessions to longer visits with walks and bonding time, depending on what your dog needs most.
