House sitting or drop-in visits?
House sitting includes an overnight stay in your home plus an agreed daytime routine. It can suit pets who settle best at home and households with several pets. It does not include continuous 24-hour supervision; we discuss time alone before confirming.
Drop-in visits cover food, water, potty breaks, play, or company during a 30- or 60-minute visit. Cats who prefer home can have cat visits for meals, litter, and a wellbeing check. We agree on frequency and timing around your pets’ needs.
House sitting or boarding?
House sitting keeps your pet in your own home. Boarding is overnight care away from home. Boarding and daycare requests are reviewed individually for the care setting, temperament, dates, and availability, then personally quoted.
What should you ask a new pet sitter?
- Who will handle visits and overnight stays? I personally provide all care.
- How long is a visit, and how much time will pets spend alone?
- What does the quote include for extra pets, holidays, and longer visits?
- How will meals, walks, home access, and photo updates work?
- Can the sitter meet your pet and safely follow any special-care instructions?
