Drop-in Visits
Choosing the best care for your pet while you're away is important, and while overnight sitting or boarding can be convenient, drop-in visits offer several unique benefits that might make them the better option:
​
1. Comfort of Home: Drop-in visits allow your pet to stay in their familiar environment, surrounded by their favorite toys, bed, and scents. This helps reduce the stress and anxiety that often come with being in an unfamiliar place, like a boarding facility or someone else’s home.
​
2. Maintaining Routine: Pets thrive on routine, and drop-in visits ensure that their daily schedule—feeding times, bathroom breaks, playtime, and even cuddle sessions—remains as consistent as possible. This continuity helps keep your pet happy and settled while you're away.
​
3. Personalized Attention: During drop-in visits, your pet receives one-on-one care tailored to their specific needs. This individualized attention is often more difficult to achieve in boarding situations, where pets may have to share the caregiver's focus with multiple animals.
​
4. Reduced Exposure to Illness: Unlike boarding facilities, where pets are in close contact with other animals, drop-in visits significantly reduce the risk of your pet being exposed to illnesses or parasites that can spread in group settings.
​
5. Medication Administration: If your pet requires regular medication, drop-in visits offer the advantage of ensuring they receive their doses on time and as prescribed. This is particularly important for pets with ongoing medical needs, and it provides you with peace of mind knowing their health is in capable hands.

6. Peace of Mind with Pet Cameras: If you have a pet camera (Ring, Blink, Furbo, etc.) set up at home, you’re welcome to use it during drop-in visits. This allows you to check in on your pet at any time, giving you real-time reassurance that they’re comfortable and well-cared for while you’re away.
​
In summary, drop-in visits offer a convenient, stress-free alternative to boarding, providing your pet with the best possible care while you’re away. Your pet gets to stay in their happy place—home—while you enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands.
