If you are interested in this continuous care, please contact your local Provider to see if this is something they would be willing to do for you.

Our overnight housesitting service offers a balanced, affordable solution that ensures your pets receive the care and companionship they need, while also allowing you peace of mind knowing someone is looking out for them around the clock.
Why does it cost more for young animals like puppies?
At Fur Babies Pet Sitting by Mikayla, LLC, we understand that young animals have unique needs that require more specialized care and attention compared to adult animals. While adult animals may be more independent and established in their routines, young animals need extra support as they grow, learn, and adjust to their new environment. This is why young animal care typically costs more than adult animal care.

Question 7

Do you offer drop-in visits in addition to overnight care?

Accepted Answer

During Overnight Housesitting, your pet receives daytime care as part of the service; including attention, potty breaks, feeding, walks (if walks are a part of their normal routine), medication (if needed) and companionship. While the Pet Care Provider may come and go during the day, all care instructions are followed. For example, if a puppy needs a potty break every two hours, the Provider will give breaks on that schedule, even if they have other visits to do. This service is not the same as our Drop-In Visit service, which is booked separately and can be tailored for daytime, afternoon and/or evening care, without overnight stays. Overnight Housesitting ensures your pet is cared for both during the day and overnight, following all instructions you provide.
