In-Home Drop-In Visits for Dogs, Cats, and Small Pets

A pet sitter giving a treat to a husky mix dog on a couch during an in-home visit.

Your pet stays in their environment. Your home stays looked after.

A drop-in visit is not just someone checking a food bowl. It is a 30-minute in-home visit that covers your pet’s care and a full home check before your sitter leaves. Every time.

What Happens on Every Drop-In Visit

  • Feeding and fresh water: Per your pet’s schedule and instructions
  • Potty break or litter service: Dogs get outside, cats get a clean box
  • Playtime and attention: Time on the floor, not just a quick pass-through
  • Medication administration: Available for an additional fee; discuss at setup
  • Home check: Doors, windows, packages, mail, and lights
  • GPS check-in: Visit verified and time-stamped
  • Photo update and visit report: Sent to your phone when the visit is complete

See our rates page for pricing on additional pets from the same household.

More Than a Pet Visit

Most pet sitters take care of the animal and leave. Every Elite Pet Care drop-in includes a home check as part of the standard visit.

We bring in packages and mail so nothing sits on the porch, and we rotate lights to keep your home looking lived-in. If something looks off, we contact you before we leave.

This is what we mean by concierge. You get a visit report that covers both your pet and your home, every single time.

When Drop-In Visits Work Best

  • Daily care while you are at work
  • Midday visits for dogs that need a break between morning and evening
  • Short trips where your pets sleep better at home than in a kennel
  • Supplemental care alongside dog walking or overnight stays

For longer absences, pair drop-ins with our overnight house sitting service to keep coverage consistent around the clock.

Who’s Coming to Your Home

Every sitter is background-checked through ACUTRAQ before their first assignment. They carry Pet First Aid and CPR certification and are covered under our full insurance and bond. You meet your sitter at a complimentary Meet & Greet before any paid service begins.
