Dog Sitter at Your Home: In-Home Pet Sitting
With in-home pet sitting, a verified dog sitter or pet sitter stays overnight in your home, so your pet keeps its own bed, its own routine and its own territory. It suits pets that get stressed by new places, older animals and homes with more than one pet.
How In-Home Pet Sitting Works
The sitter comes to your home and stays there for the nights you book. They feed, walk and play with your pet on its usual schedule and are there in the evening and overnight. Search by date and distance, read reviews, and send a booking request. You pay nothing until the sitter accepts.
When a Pet Sitter at Home Beats Boarding
Some pets do not travel well. Sitting is a good choice for anxious or elderly pets, for cats, which are attached to their territory, for pets on a strict medication schedule and for families with several animals — one sitter looks after all of them in a familiar place.
Your Rules, Written Down Once
The pet profile holds feeding, medication, routine, behaviour, the vet’s contact and emergency instructions. The sitter receives it and confirms it before the stay starts. Add notes for the sitter about your home in the same place.
Letting a Pet Sitter Into Your Home
Every sitter passes identity and document checks before their first booking, plus a background check. Reviews come only from completed stays, and you can meet the sitter before you confirm. During the stay you get check-in and check-out alerts and photo updates.

Dog Sitter and Pet Sitter FAQ
What owners ask before leaving a pet with a sitter at home.
What is the difference between pet sitting and boarding?
With boarding your pet stays at the sitter’s home. With sitting the sitter stays at yours, so your pet does not change its surroundings.
Does the dog sitter stay overnight?
Yes. In-home sitting is booked by the night: the sitter is at your home in the evening and overnight and follows your pet’s daily routine.
Can one pet sitter look after several pets?
Yes. Sitting works well for homes with more than one pet. Each pet has its own profile with its own care plan.
Can I meet the sitter first?
Yes. Message the sitter from their profile and arrange a meet-up before you confirm. You pay nothing until the sitter accepts the booking.
What if my plans change?
Cancel from the booking screen at any time. The refund follows the cancellation policy shown on the sitter’s profile and again in the payment details before you confirm.
