Overnight Pet Care

We offer overnights for dogs and cats. Although most of our pets feel comfortable knowing they are checked on regularly throughout the period you are out-of-town, half-hour pet sitting visits, and even multiple per day, might not be adequate for your pet care needs. Some pets might not be accustomed to being left alone overnight while other pets become destructive and howl or meow if they are alone during nighttime hours. Puppies also need extra attention and opportunities to relieve themselves throughout the night as they become potty trained.

  • An experienced and trustworthy pet professional to take care of your furbaby overnight
  • All Petsitting and some house sitting services are included with overnight care services
