What is Drop-in Visits?

Drop-in visits are short check-ins where a sitter comes to your home to feed, water, and spend time with your pets. Each visit typically lasts 30–60 minutes — long enough to refresh food and water, clean litter boxes, give medications, and provide some companionship and play time.

Drop-ins are ideal for independent pets like cats or when you're working a long day and need someone to check on your dog mid-afternoon. They're also a cost-effective alternative to full boarding for pets who are comfortable being alone overnight but need regular care during the day.

Because sitters on The Pet Sitter keep 100% of what they earn, drop-in rates stay affordable. No 20% commission means a $25 visit stays at $25 — the sitter gets fairly compensated and you get reliable, personal care for your pet.

Frequently asked questions

How long is a drop-in visit?
Visits typically last 30–60 minutes. You can discuss exact timing with your sitter based on your pet's needs.
How many visits per day can I book?
Most owners book 1–2 visits per day. You can arrange morning and evening visits, or a single mid-day check — whatever works for your pet's schedule.
Is a drop-in enough for my dog?
For adult dogs who are house-trained and comfortable alone, 1–2 drop-in visits per day can work well for short absences. For puppies, senior dogs, or dogs with separation anxiety, boarding or house sitting may be a better option.
Can the sitter walk my dog during a drop-in?
Yes! Many sitters include a short walk as part of the drop-in visit. Discuss this with your sitter so they can plan enough time.
