All-inclusive Overnight Pet Sitting In Your Home
We believe that pets are best off when left in the safety and comfort of their own home. Pets enjoy the benefits of in-your-home overnight pet sitting because they take comfort in their own territory. They are surrounded by familiar smells, sounds, and sights; their food is the same, and someone is there to take care of them.
Dori Tails provides Overnight Care (overnight pet sitting) services in your home 7 days a week. Overnight Care is fully customizable care while you’re out of town on vacation, a work trip, or for any other reason. This service is great for pets with separation anxiety, puppies, older pets, pets that have complicated care needs, or those who need extra attention at night. Our goal is to give your pets lots of love and comfort along with top-notch care. In addition, we will do basic home tasks to help your home look lived-in while you are away.
We partner with you in your pet’s health and happiness, and our Care Team has training in pet care and pet first aid so they can handle any emergencies. We are detail-oriented and educated animal lovers who are dedicated to providing quality care to your pets and home.

"How does Overnight Care work?"
Our overnight pet sitting services offer the greatest amount of time to complete even the most complicated pet care tasks and plenty of time for pets to enjoy all the walks/potty breaks they need, as well as snuggling and enrichment activities (if allowed).
A Care Team member will stay in your home overnight for 12 hours, from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM. The next day, we will provide a 25-minute OR 50-minute Walk or Pet Sitting Visit that may be done by a different Care Team member. You can also request additional afternoon or evening Walks or Pet Sitting Visits at our normal rates.
Our Care Team will take care of your pets and your home. They will give your pets attention and complete the agreed-upon tasks, and on the final day, your Care Team will clean up after themselves and leave your home much the way you left it. You will receive Daily Reports and Visit Reports with fun pictures and important care details to help you feel at ease about your pets while you are away.
PLEASE NOTE: A proper bed for your pet sitter to sleep on is required. A couch or air mattress is unacceptable. Thank you for your understanding.
