Quality Pet Sitting Services from the comfort of your home

We know how nerve-wracking it can be to go on an overnight trip without your pet, leaving them unattended for days on end. Often a boarding facility is cramped with multiple pets and a lack of staff that can give your pet the one-on-one time they deserve, that’s why Pet Sitting Plus focuses strictly on in-home pet sitting so that your pet can stay in the comfort of your home while having our undivided attention. Don’t cancel your plans due to a lack of care for your pet, call Christina and her team today for reliable and affordable in-home pet sitting services.

In-Home Pet Sitting

Can’t bring your fur baby on your next weekend trip? Don’t worry, Christina and her team at Pet Sitting Plus are here to offer reliable and affordable pet sitting services in the comfort of your home. Bringing your cat or dog to an animal spa when you need to leave town can often be expensive and stressful on your pets, however, we care for your pets right at home, so they feel safe and comfortable until you return. Before book our pet sitting services, we require a scheduled meet and greet with your pets so that our team and your pet know just the level of care needed to keep them happy and healthy while you’re away. While pet sitting, we offer the following services:
