In-Home Pet Sitting That Fits Your Pet’s Routine

Every pet has a rhythm. Some are up at sunrise ready for breakfast, others wait for quiet evenings before they eat or play. Our in-home pet sitting is built around these details, not around a one size fits all schedule. When you book visits with us, we work with you to understand what “normal” looks like for your pets, then we structure our time around that routine.

During a typical visit, our sitters can provide fresh water and meals, spend time with your pets, and support the activities that help them feel settled. For dogs, that might mean going outside, stretching their legs, and enjoying some playtime. For cats, it may be a mix of quiet company, interactive play, and litter box care. For other pets such as fish, small mammals, or certain reptiles, we follow your instructions for feeding and habitat checks, always focusing on safety and comfort.

We know that small details matter. Maybe your cat likes their food bowl in a certain spot, or your dog has a special way they like to settle at night. We encourage you to share those preferences with us. Our team listens closely and aims to follow your guidance, which helps your pets feel like life is staying as normal as possible while you are away.

Dog Sitting For Every Personality, From Energetic To Easygoing

Dogs often feel changes in routine very quickly, so choosing the right dog sitter is important. When you look for a dog sitter Wake Forest dog owners trust, you are likely thinking about your dog’s personality first. At Woofie's® of Northwest Raleigh-Cary, we adjust our dog sitting visits to match each dog, whether they are full of energy or prefer a slower pace.

For active dogs, we can include brisk walks and engaging playtime that help them use up energy in a healthy way. For senior dogs or those that move more slowly, we focus on gentle strolls, extra time to sniff, and calm company. We pay attention to signals from your dog, such as when they are ready to rest or when they want a little extra time outside, and we work to make visits feel reassuring, not overwhelming.

Many dogs are more relaxed when they can stay in their own home instead of going to a boarding facility. In-home sitting reduces exposure to unfamiliar dogs and loud environments, which can be especially helpful for shy or anxious pups. Our goal is to help your dog feel that their favorite spots, routines, and comforts are still there, even while you are away.

How Our Pet Sitting Service Works From First Call To Final Visit

Planning Your Pet Sitting Schedule

When you are inviting someone into your home, you want to understand how everything will work from the start. We keep our process clear and straightforward so you know what to expect and can plan around your schedule. From the moment you reach out to us, our team focuses on learning about your pets and making the experience as smooth as possible.

We begin with a conversation to learn about your household, your pets, and the dates you need care. We ask about feeding routines, favorite activities, and any special considerations such as nervous behaviors or unique habitats. From there, we work with you to arrange visits that fit your timing, including the number of check ins per day and general time windows that mirror your usual routine as closely as we reasonably can.

Before & During Your Visits

Before your trip or extended work days begin, we arrange time to review your instructions and answer your questions. This is when you can walk us through where supplies are kept, how to access your home, and any small details that matter to your pets. During your scheduled service, our sitters focus on consistent care and paying attention to how your pets are doing. We strive to provide updates that help you feel connected, and if you have a preference for how often you hear from us, you can share that as part of your planning.

Why Families Choose Our Local Pet Sitters In Wake Forest

When it comes to trusting a pet sitter, families in Wake Forest have many choices. Our clients choose Woofie's® of Northwest Raleigh-Cary because we combine the comfort of in-home care with the personal attention of a local team. We do not believe that pets should be treated like numbers in a system. Instead, we focus on individual pets, individual families, and what matters to you.

Our approach begins with personalization. We listen, take notes, and adjust visits so they make sense for each household. Multi pet homes can be especially complex, and we understand that a dog, a cat, and a small animal will not have the same schedule or needs. Our sitters work to keep everyone on track while respecting the different personalities that share your space.

Because our team lives and works near Wake Forest, we understand the rhythms of the area. Many of our clients commute to nearby cities or travel out of Raleigh Durham International Airport, and they appreciate having a dependable team that can handle visits without adding extra driving to their day. We bring pet care directly to you, which saves time and helps keep your pets relaxed in familiar surroundings.

Pet Sitting That Fits Your Schedule

Support For Busy Workdays & Travel

Life in and around Wake Forest can be busy. Some families have early morning commutes, others travel frequently for work, and many juggle school activities, social events, and weekend trips. Our in-home pet sitting is designed to support that lifestyle, so your pets are cared for while you handle everything else on your calendar.

We commonly help clients who are heading out of town for a few days, planning a longer vacation, or facing a stretch of long work shifts. Instead of coordinating drop off and pick up times at a boarding facility, you can schedule visits that fit the flow of your trip. For example, if you have an early flight from the airport, we can arrange visits that begin after you leave and continue until you return, according to the schedule you set with us in advance.

Local Knowledge That Makes Care Easier

Because our team is local, we are familiar with neighborhoods, traffic patterns, and the general pace of life here. We use that understanding to plan realistic visit windows and to communicate clearly about timing expectations. Our goal is to make pet care one less thing you need to worry about when you are managing a full schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does your pet sitting service work when I am out of town?

Our pet sitting service is built around scheduled visits to your home while you are away. We start by talking through your travel dates, your pets, and your preferred visit times, then we create a visit plan that lines up with your usual routine as closely as we reasonably can. During each visit, our sitter focuses on the tasks and activities you have outlined, such as feeding, fresh water, going outside, litter box care, and time spent with your pets. We also keep an eye on your pets’ overall behavior and comfort so we can let you know how they are doing. When you return home, your pets have stayed in their familiar environment, which often helps them adjust quickly back to having you around.

Can you follow my pet’s specific feeding and medication schedule?

Yes, we work to follow the feeding and care schedule you share with us as closely as possible. During our initial conversation, we ask detailed questions about meal times, amounts, and any medications or supplements your pet receives. We encourage you to write these instructions down and keep items clearly labeled, which helps our sitters stay organized and consistent. While we cannot replace veterinary care or make medical decisions, we can follow your routine instructions so your pet’s schedule feels familiar. The more information you provide up front, the better we can support your pet’s daily rhythm.

Will my dog get walks and playtime during dog sitting visits?

Dog sitting visits typically include a mix of going outside and spending interactive time with your dog, based on what you request. If your dog enjoys walks, we can take them out for a stroll that matches their energy level, whether that is a quick loop or a slower, sniff filled walk. For dogs who prefer the yard or shorter outings, we can focus on that and include playtime or cuddles inside. We talk through your dog’s normal routine ahead of time so we can plan visits that feel natural for them. Our goal is to keep them active enough to feel content, without pushing them beyond what is comfortable.

Do you offer pet sitting for cats and other pets besides dogs?

We do. Our team cares for a variety of pets, including cats, fish, small mammals, and certain reptiles, in addition to dogs. Cat visits may include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and the level of interaction your cat prefers, from gentle company to active play. For other pets, we follow the feeding and habitat routines you provide, focusing on safety and consistency. If you have more than one type of pet in your home, we work with you to balance everyone’s needs during each visit. When you contact us, you can share details about each pet so we can confirm how we can best support them.

How far in advance should I book pet sitting for busy travel times?

We recommend reaching out as soon as you know your travel dates, especially around holidays or popular vacation seasons when many families are away. Earlier contact gives us a better chance to match your ideal schedule and to plan a meet and greet if needed. That said, we understand that some trips come up quickly, and we do our best to accommodate last minute requests when our calendar allows. When you contact us, our team can let you know current availability and help you decide the best timing to reserve your visits. Planning ahead also gives you more time to prepare your home and pet instructions without feeling rushed.

How will I know my pets are okay while I am away?

Feeling connected to your pets while you are gone is very important. We work with you to decide how you would like to receive updates and how often. Many clients appreciate brief check ins that share how visits went and anything notable about their pets’ behavior, appetite, or energy. We aim to provide enough information that you feel reassured, without overwhelming you with messages when you are trying to enjoy your trip or focus on work. If you have specific concerns you want us to watch for, you can share those during the planning stage so we can be sure to address them in our updates.

Is in-home pet sitting better than boarding for anxious pets?

For many anxious pets, staying at home can be more comfortable than going to a busy boarding facility. In-home pet sitting allows your pet to keep familiar surroundings, smells, and routines, which often reduces stress. Instead of adapting to a new environment with many other animals and unfamiliar sounds, your pet can stay in their usual resting spots and follow their normal schedule with our support. We also adjust how we interact with anxious pets, giving them time to warm up and respecting their boundaries. While every pet is different, many owners find that in-home care helps sensitive animals feel more secure while they are away.
