Why It Matters

1. Reduced Stress & Anxiety

  • Pets thrive on routine and familiar surroundings.
  • In-home care allows them to stay in their own environment—surrounded by their usual sights, smells, and sounds.
  • This greatly reduces the stress and anxiety of being separated from their owners or adapting to unfamiliar places like boarding facilities.
  • Especially beneficial for pets with separation anxiety or those easily frightened by change, this familiarity provides crucial comfort and security.

2. Maintaining Routines

  • Pets have routines just like humans, says Animal Wellness Magazine.
  • Disruptions to feeding times, walks, and playtime can cause stress—especially in animals prone to anxiety.
  • 24-hour in-home care keeps their schedule intact, promoting a sense of normalcy and stability.

3. Personalized Attention & Care

  • In-home pet sitters provide undivided attention.
  • Care is tailored to each pet’s specific needs, from medication and feeding to playtime and companionship.

4. Minimized Health Risks

  • Staying at home reduces exposure to illnesses or parasites that are common in boarding facilities where animals are in close contact.

5. Added Home Security

  • Our 24-hour live-in professional pet sitters care for your home as well as your pets.
  • Your home appears occupied, with mail collected, plants watered, trash taken to the curb, and other daily tasks handled—just as if you were there.

6. Peace of Mind with Updates

  • We keep you informed with regular photo and message updates about your pet’s well-being and daily activities.

Because when you’re away, they deserve the very best—right at home.

  • Feed and provide water as directed, along with treats if you say so
  • Administer medications as directed if necessary
  • Give lots of love, play time and snuggles to your pets
  • Leave your home as clean and tidy as it was when we arrived
  • Tend to your mail and any package deliveries
  • Make sure that your home is always secure while on walks and when we depart

Doggie Latchkey Overnight Pet Sitting FAQ’s

How many hours will your sitter be in my home?

Unlike most companies that stay for 10 hours max, Doggie Latchkey’s overnight stays are for any 12 hour period of your choosing.

Absolutely, if you’d like. We’ll stay in any area of your home that you designate. It’s important that we follow your pet’s routine.

Only the assigned sitter is permitted to be in your home. Doggie Latchkey has a strict policy in place as well as a sitter code of conduct; all of its sitters are aware of and committed to this policy.
The preferred method is via a coded lockbox or garage door code. There should always be a back-up means of entry. This information should always be kept up to date in your client portal.

We always suggest updating this change in your client portal first. After you’ve completed this step feel free to reach out to us by email to confirm that we have your new return date and time.

Again, use your client portal to request cancellation. This is the only way for us to process any refund or credit for future services per Doggie Latchkey’s Cancellation Policy.
