Some pets simply need more time, companionship, and supervision than a traditional drop-in visit can provide. Our Hourly Pet Sitting & Extended Care gives your pet dedicated, one-on-one care in the comfort and familiarity of their own home for several consecutive hours at a time.
Whether you have a puppy who shouldn’t be left alone for long periods, a senior pet who benefits from additional support, a pet recovering from a procedure, or simply a companion who is happiest with someone nearby, we’ll personalize their time with us around their normal routine, personality, and individual needs.
During your pet’s extended care, we can provide companionship, feeding and fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, rest and relaxation, medication when applicable, and plenty of personalized attention. With 4-, 6-, 8-, and 12-hour care options, you can choose the level of support that works best for your pet and your schedule—all without disrupting the comfort and security of home.
Dedicated Companionship When Your Pet Needs More Than a Drop-In
Some pets need more than just a brief visit—but they do not necessarily require overnight care or constant supervision. These pets often thrive with a little extra attention during the day.
This specialized service is ideal for pets who need extended supervision, companionship, structured care, or additional support during the day or evening hours when their owners may be busy or away. It ensures that your beloved pet receives the care and interaction they need to remain happy and healthy.

PUPPY SUPERVISION
Puppies often need frequent potty opportunities, meals, enrichment, supervision, and structured downtime throughout the day.
Extended care allows us to follow your puppy’s established schedule while providing companionship and helping prevent long periods alone.
SENIOR & SPECIAL-NEEDS PETS
Extended sitting can also be beneficial for senior, recovering, or special-needs pets who may not be comfortable being left alone for long periods.
Care can be paced around their mobility, rest requirements, medication schedules, feeding routines, and individual comfort level.
IN-HOME CARE WITHOUT THE DAYCARE ENVIRONMENT
Unlike traditional facility-based daycare, your pet remains in their own home.
This can be especially helpful for pets who:
- Become overwhelmed in group settings
- Prefer familiar surroundings
- Are not comfortable around unfamiliar dogs
- Have medical limitations
- Are senior or mobility challenged
- Need individualized attention
- Benefit from predictable routines
BUILT AROUND YOUR PET
Extended care is not a one-size-fits-all service. We tailor each booking around your pet’s routine, temperament, age, activity level, health considerations, and household needs.
During your New Client Consultation & Care Assessment, we’ll help determine whether hourly sitting, extended care, drop-in visits, or overnight care is the best fit for your pet.
