How is a drop-in different from pet sitting?

It's shorter and task-focused. A drop-in covers the essentials in 20–30 minutes; pet sitting is a longer visit with more time for walks, play, and company.

Can I book drop-ins twice a day?

Absolutely, and most travel schedules use exactly that. Pick both times in the booking flow and we'll space them across the day.

Is there a same-day option?

Often yes. Same-day requests inside 12 hours carry a small short-notice fee, and we'll confirm by text before anything is charged.

A quick check-in, done properly.

Drop-in visits for the days that run long

A focused 20 or 30 minutes covering the essentials: out to potty, food and fresh water, meds if needed, litter scooped, and a few minutes of company before we go. Ideal for the days when you're only gone a little too long.
