What’s Included in a Home Visit

Calm, structured check-ins tailored to your routine — with a photo + update after every visit.

Toilet break / reset

A quick backyard break and calm reset (perfect for long workdays).

Water + feeding

Fresh water top-up and feeding as instructed (no guesswork).

Routine care

We follow your notes closely (gates, alarms, bowls, calming routine).

Calm company

A friendly check-in that helps pets feel settled (especially anxious ones).

Enrichment & play

Light play/sniff games (or cuddles) depending on your pet’s vibe.

Photo + update

You’ll get a quick message and photo so you know they’re all good.

Is This Right for Your Pet?

Home visits are ideal when your pet needs a break, routine and reassurance — without a full walk.

Perfect if…
  • They need a toilet break and reset while you’re out
  • They get anxious or lonely home alone for long hours
  • They’re older, recovering, or need a gentler day
  • You want feeding / water top-ups done properly
  • You want consistency with a trusted local carer
  • You love photo + message updates after every visit
Maybe not ideal if…
  • They need a big energy burn most days (walks/adventures may suit better)
  • You’re looking for overnight sitting (we focus on visits)
  • Your pet isn’t comfortable with home entry by a carer
  • You need late-night check-ins
  • You want grooming/boarding services (not what we do)

Not sure what fits best? Book a free meet & greet and we’ll recommend the right mix (visits, walks, or adventures).

Pet Home Visits FAQs

Quick answers for dog home visits and cat home visits — if you’re unsure, book a free meet & greet and we’ll guide you.

What’s included in a pet home visit?
Toilet break (dogs), fresh water top-up, feeding if needed, calm company, light enrichment, and a photo + message update after the visit.
How long is a typical home visit?
It depends on your pet and routine. We’ll recommend the right visit length after your meet & greet based on what your dog or cat needs.
Do you offer dog home visits and cat home visits?
Yes — we do both. Dog visits often include a toilet break and reset. Cat visits focus on feeding, fresh water, litter check (if needed), and a calm approach for shy cats.
Can you feed my pet during the visit?
Absolutely. Leave clear instructions (amount, location, any do’s/don’ts) and we’ll follow your routine exactly.
Can you do visits while I’m at work?
Yes — most clients book visits for workdays to break up long stretches alone and keep their pet calm and comfortable.
How do you access my home?
We’ll agree on the safest method during your meet & greet (lockbox, key handover, concierge, etc.) and follow your access instructions closely every visit.
My cat is shy — will you still be able to do the visit?
Yes. Many cats prefer minimal interaction. We’ll keep things calm, focus on essentials, and follow their lead if they want attention.
Is a home visit instead of a walk?
Sometimes. Home visits are perfect when your pet needs a check-in, not a full exercise session. Many clients mix visits with walks or adventure days.
Can I book recurring weekly visits?
Yes — recurring schedules are the most common. We cap weekly spots so timings stay reliable, so it’s best to enquire early.
What do I need to provide before the first visit?
A quick meet & greet, your routine notes (feeding, access, gates), and anything your pet needs on hand (food, treats, harness, litter supplies if relevant).

Still unsure what’s best? We’ll recommend the right routine (visits, walks, or adventures).
