Because Home Is Where They’re Happiest

We offer customized pet sitting services, from short visits to extended stays, to ensure pets get the care they need while you’re away. From feeding, exercise, and playtime, to litter scooping and medication administration, we have your pets covered so you can relax.

The goal of in-home pet care is to maintain your pet’s routine and comfort levels. We’ll work with you to design a visit schedule that best aligns with their usual feeding, exercise, playtime, medication, and nap schedules.

Standard in-home pet care visits are 15, 30 or 60 minutes in length. Overnight dog sitting services in your home is offered exclusively to our daily dog walking clients.

My cat was lovingly cared for in my absence and I received daily photos and reports. I found this service to be professional, trustworthy, dependable and responsive. I am enthusiastically pleased with this service and feel very comfortable in highly recommending it. Balu gives Barbara and Carla a PURR-fect 10! And I, also, so appreciate their loving attention and your excellent service. I am so grateful for your excellent care.

We have been regular clients of Ilene and her unbelievable team of animal lovers for almost 10 years. We’ve used them for midday walks and for overnight trips with an in-home stay. Always responsible, always loving. My dogs can be reactive to other dogs and Ilene and her walkers know how to manage their anxieties. My dogs come home happy and satisfied! For in home stays, it’s like having a friend or family member caring for our pack. We also have a cat who has been well cared for. I highly recommend Dog Gone Walking.
