PET SITTING SERVICES

(Also, please see our dog walking services!)

 

Vacation Pet Sitting (Drop-In Care)

Pets are happiest when they’re in their own home. With our Vacation Pet Sitting Service, you let them stay in their own environment even when you can’t be there.  We will come in and care for your pets once, twice, three, or four times per day as needed, making every attempt to maintain your pet’s regular routine.  Each visit can be scheduled for 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes in length and includes the following:

 

• All the love, hugs, tummy rubs, and attention your pet needs

• Fresh food, water and treats

• Walks, exercise and playtime

• Potty breaks and cleanup of pet waste

• Medication administration

• Cleaning/tidying up of pet areas

• Collecting newspaper, mail and packages

• Watering your indoor/outdoor plants and gardens

• Alternating lights and blinds

• Putting out trash

• Caring for your outdoor wildlife (squirrels/birds)

• Any other reasonable pet or home related tasks—we personalize every visit to accommodate you and your pets needs!

 

Overnight Pet Sitting (House and Pet Sitting in your home)

Sometimes a drop-in visit just isn’t enough.  Hot Diggity! offers professional Overnight Pet Sitting for those pets who prefer to have a more frequent human presence (and a person to cuddle with them at night!). Overnight Pet Sitting also includes all house sitting related tasks as listed above.

The overnight fee includes a minimum of: the evening pet care (dinner and walking) routine between 5-7p.m., overnight stay (check-in by 10 p.m.), and the morning pet care (breakfast and walking) routine (6 -9 a.m.). If an additional mid-day walk is needed, it can be scheduled at a discounted rate. Keep in mind that your pet sitter will have other pet sitting rounds, but will be using your home as his/her “home base”. The time spent with your pets will vary based on your sitter’s schedule, but will always include at least the minimum time stated above and, likely, more. Additionally, our clients can feel secure knowing that their home has the added measure of security that Overnight Pet Sitting provides. Consider this option the closest thing to being home yourself.

Please note: Due to the exclusivity of Overnight Pet Sitting reservations, we must decline any overnight requests that coincide with your reservation. Therefore, any Overnight Pet Sitting reservation requires a 50% deposit at the time of booking.

What are the Benefits of Hiring a Pet Sitter?

• While some pets do just fine in a boarding facility, many become highly stressed due to the change of environment and constant stimulation of a boarding facility.

• Your pets can stay in their normal, comfortable environment and can stick to their routine.

• Your pets won’t risk accidents or illnesses from other pets at a boarding facility.

• Your pets won't have the stress of an unfamiliar environment on top of the stress of their owner being away.

• Your pets won't have to share space with an untold number of animals they don't know.

• Your pets won't have to be confined in a kennel or small room for a large part of their day.

• Your pets get individualized, focused attention from their pet sitter.

• Your home has someone keeping an eye on it and making it look lived-in while you are away.

• You can relax on your trip knowing that your pets and home are being well cared for, and that all of their needs are being met by a loving pet sitter.
