About Happier at Home

 

What is in-home pet sitting?

In-home pet sitting means we pair you with personal pet sitters who come directly to your house for 15- or 30-minute visits (depending on your preference). We offer both daily visits while you're away at work and vacation visits while you're out of town, and we work with you to customize the visits to exactly what works best for you and your pets.


Playtime, walks, and training support are just a few of the things we can do to make the most out of every visit—check out the Services & Rates page to learn more about what Happier at Home offers!


How are you different than doggy daycare and other pet sitters?

Unlike doggy daycare or boarding facilities, we come straight to your home to offer one-on-one time with your pets in their own environment. No drop off or pick up necessary and no social anxiety!

How do you "customize" a visit? What makes it personalized?

Every person is different—and so is every pet! With that in mind, we design each visit around your needs. You can pick the time slot and visit length that works best for you and incorporate whatever games, exercise, or training works best for your pets. To learn more about how you can work with Happier at Home and your personal pet sitter, take a look at our Services & Rates page.

Do you offer vacation and/or overnight care?

Yes! We have a team of pet sitters who specialize specifically in vacation and overnight care. However, our reservations are based on sitter availability, so make sure to book as soon as possible, especially for holidays.
  

How will I know my dogs are safe and happy while while I'm gone?

Communication is one our core tenants at Happier at Home, so your personal pet sitters will be in touch with texts, pictures, and videos to let you know exactly how your friends are doing back home. We always encourage you to ask questions and tell us if we can improve anything. In turn, we'll share our recommendations and experience to make sure you have the happiest, healthiest pets possible when you return home every day.

Are you bonded and insured?

Absolutely. Happier at Home and all of our employees are fully bonded and insured.

How much does it cost?

Each 15-minute visit is $20 and 30-minute visits are $25. The price won't change depending on location or number of pets; and that's just the minimum time we'll spend on a given visit. (We love to stay for extra-long belly rub sessions whenever we can!)

How do I know my keys are safe with you?

All of our clients' keys are kept in a discrete location, unmarked and unaffiliated with any personal or identifiable information. Secondary copies are kept in an entirely different area, stored safely away. Our carefully-designed SafeKey system ensures that we always know where your keys are at all times, and nobody else does.

Are you hiring?

We're always looking for excellent, trustworthy pet sitters to join our team. If you're interested in learning more, check out our application page. Even if we don't have positions open at the time, we'd love to hear from you and will keep your information around for next time!
