Overnight Care

Customizable total pet sitting in the safety and comfort of your home​ in Northeast Chicago and Evanston

Providing your pets all-inclusive care in your home

Overnight Care is customizable pet sitting: total care of your pets in the safety and comfort of your home while you’re away.

Overnight Care is the ultimate in luxury for your pets. An excellent option for pets with separation anxiety, older pets or just plain spoiled pets, our overnight pet sitting service will provide tons of love and affection for your critter children. This service is especially cost-effective for homes with multiple pets. 

Overnight pet care in your home is much less stressful for pets than boarding them elsewhere

With in-home pet sitting, your pets will have a person who will be there for them, giving them lots of love and attention, and their medicines if necessary, all while keeping their routines unchanged in the familiar sights, sounds, and smells of home. Plus, there’s no need to worry about the stress of transportation or the risk of picking up any illnesses.

Overnight Care also provides home security: your home will always appear lived-in (because it will be!) and will be less attractive to burglers. We will rotate blinds and lights, bring in newspapers, and collect mail, and even water indoor and outdoor plants if you like!

Pet tasks and home tasks are totally customizable – we will talk about everything in our Virtual Meet & Greet and work out a plan.

"How does Overnight Care work?"

Overnight Care - pet sitting

A (“primary”) Care Team member will stay overnight in your home from 9:00pm – 7:00am, and one 25-minute Midday visit (Walk or Drop-in Visit) will occur the next day. The Midday visit may be assigned to other (“alternate”) Care Team members. You can request additional afternoon/evening Walks or Drop-in Visits at our normal rates, which also may be assigned to alternate Care Team members.

If an Overnight Care booking will extend past 3 nights, we will assign an alternate Care Team member to stay in your home, so that the primary Care Team member can go home and have some time off. If additional Care Team members will be required to complete your booking, we will make arrangements for you to meet them before your departure.

NOTE: All Care Team members assigned to care for your pets will have been trained by Owner and Head Tail Wagger Dorian Taylor, as well as background-checked, and Pet First Aid and CPR/CPCR-certified, for your security and your peace of mind.

Your Care Team will take care of your pet(s) and your home, provide your pets with attention and care, do the “home tasks” we agreed upon in our discussions, and your primary pet sitter will spend the night in your home. You will receive Daily Reports and Visit Reports accompanied by fun pictures. Our goal is to make your time away from your pet(s) as worry-free as possible.

PLEASE NOTE: A proper bed for your primary pet sitter to sleep on is required. A couch or air mattress is unacceptable. Thank you for your understanding.
