Live-in house sitting is a dog sitting service where a professional sitter lives in your home during your trip, staying overnight and spending most of the day there so your dog can remain comfortable in their normal routine.
Every live-in house sitting stay follows your dog’s routine and your home’s needs.
Feeding schedules, medication administration, fresh water, walk and potty break, and daily play based on your dog’s normal routine.
Your sitter lives in your home during the stay, providing overnight care and extended daytime presence so your dog spends far less time alone.
Receive daily updates with photos and notes, along with basic home care like mail collection, plant watering, and general home monitoring.
