No Every-Other-Day Vacation Pet Visits:  For the safety and well being of your pet, and their need for frequent human contact, we do not do every-other-day vacation pet visits.  All pet sitting services must be scheduled at least two visit times per day for dogs (with no doggy door), in consecutive days in a row. Visits can start the day after your departure, to the day before your return date. This assures us that if needed, your pet can be helped in a reasonable amount of time.

Dogs and Puppies:  If no doggy door, 3 daily visits recommended.  Please schedule dog visits no more than 12 hrs apart.  Note:  Leaving your dog(s) for longer than 12 hrs without a potty break and can lead to anxiety, accidents, even infections.

Cats must be indoors during our pet sitting/vacation care services. An indoor cat is a safer cat.

Mileage/Travel fee:  Certain areas at or over 8 miles from Loving Care Pet Sitting office there is a $8 per visit fee, round trip mileage.   

Fees may vary due to pets with special needs, additional pets, additional time,

added visits, extra cleanup and special services, as needed or requested.

Your beloved pet will never experience a lonely night alone. We come to your home for a fun-filled sleepover. Your pet will be comfortable sleeping in their own bed. Overnight Stays are excellent for pets who are very young, senior, on medication or have separation anxiety. They will be more at ease and content.  In addition, there is an extra level of security for your pet and home with an Overnight Stay.  Includes up to 4 pets.

Note: Overnight Stays are 10 hours (9pm to 7am) or any other mutually agreed upon 10-hour time frame. Your sitter may arrive early and/or may stay later depending on their schedule. Your pet sitter will bring their own food/drinks, air mattress, linens/towels. 

Overnight Stay options are very popular; therefore we recommend reservations be made as far in advance as possible.  This service is offered during major holidays on a case-by-case basis and subject to holiday fees.

Your pets will enjoy companionship, play and TLC when you need your pet looked after during the day.  A Daytime Stay includes our basic pet sitting service (see above) a short walk and meals.  For 6 hrs stays – your pet sitter may possibly have personal obligations to attend to, we allow up to an hour and a half time break per day for your pet sitter to leave your residence for personal errands.
