What Overnight Sitting Includes
A typical overnight covers evening walk and potty break, dinner feeding, overnight supervision, morning walk and breakfast, medication administration (if needed), and home security like bringing in mail and alternating lights. Sitters sleep at your home so your dog stays in a familiar environment.
Why Overnight Sitting Beats Boarding
Your dog stays in their own home—no kennel stress, no exposure to other dogs' illnesses, and no disruption to their routine. This matters especially for anxious dogs, seniors, puppies, and dogs on medication. Read our sitting vs boarding comparison for a detailed breakdown.
