Overnight Pet Sitting

Our pet sitting service fits 99% of household pets’ needs. Researches indicated that pet sitting service can greatly reduce animal’s psychological stress when comparing with boarding because they do not need to be transported to another unfamiliar place and therefore eliminating the feeling of being abandoned or overwhelmed. Furthermore, living at own home can highly reduce the risk of your pets being infected by other unknown animals, it’s especially true for senior pets and pets with vulnerable immune system. Additionally, pets with timid or less accommodating personality is advised to take advantage of home care service. However, we advise that for those pets who are suffering from serious illness e.g. heart attack, which requires constant monitor should opt for vet boarding service.

Our pet sitter will send you a detailed report about your pet’s status and what pet sitter has done on every visit by pictures, videos with word descriptions via WhatsApp or email. You are also encouraged to install a camera at home to watch over your pet from time to time. If you do not have a camera at home, you are welcome to rent it from us.

The strict recruitment & management procedures further ensure the person we employed is safe and experienced. We screen applicants by two rounds of interviews. Before hiring, a background check will also be performed to make sure the hired person reaches our company required standards. Therefore, all of our pet sitters are safe and experienced. On the other hand, the managers of the company will continue to monitor the pet sitter’s job performance to ensure everything is in line with your requirements.

Pet sitter will arrive at the mutually agreed time slot. For example, if the agreed visiting time is in the morning, pet sitter will arrive your home and provide the care in the morning. However, the actual arrival time may be slightly different subject to factors that beyond the pet sitter’s control such as severe weather or traffic congestion. Pet sitter will keep you updated about the situation and try their best to stick to the original time.

The purpose of the initial meeting is for pet sitter to understand more about your caring requirements and get familiar with your pet, at the same time, you can also know more about our pet sitter. The meeting will take place at your home and it usually lasts for 30 mins.

Client is advised to prepare a key and hand it over to the pet sitter in the meeting. We will preserve your key properly and return it to your mailbox on the last day of the service. If you need pet sitter to pick up the key or return the key to you on another day in person, an administrative fee of $50 will be incurred accordingly.
