House Sitting Services in St. Petersburg
Practical Home Checks While You’re Away
At Woofie’s® of St. Petersburg, we provide House Sitting Services for clients who want their home checked while they’re away. We personalize each visit around the agreed needs of the household, just as we tailor our in-home pet care to each client and pet.
House sitting addresses the practical needs of your property and isn’t interchangeable with overnight pet care. If your pets also need attention, ask us about our separate pet sitting services.
Call (727) 870-1349 to ask about House Sitting Services for your home.
House Sitting Visits for St. Petersburg Homes
We understand that every St. Petersburg home has unique needs, from waterfront condos to historic bungalows. During each scheduled visit, a Woofie’s professional can check your home and complete the services approved in advance.
House sitting tasks can include:
- Mail, Newspapers & Package Retrieval: We bring in mail, newspapers, and delivered packages so they don’t remain unattended.
- Indoor/Outdoor Plant Care: We care for designated indoor and outdoor plants according to your instructions.
- Light Rotation: We adjust specified interior or exterior lights as agreed.
- Home Checks: We walk through the home with attention to windows, doors, and obvious maintenance issues.
Additional Household Tasks with Your Approval
Additional Services can include specific household tasks approved before service. This keeps the visit focused on the support your property needs rather than treating house sitting as general maintenance or repair work.
Approved additional tasks can include:
- With client approval, a Woofie’s professional can dispose of expired food, run water, give the toilets a flush, bring packages in, and keep Christmas trees hydrated.
Let us know which tasks you need completed and provide the relevant instructions and access details before the first scheduled visit.
Call (727) 870-1349 to discuss your House Sitting Services needs, visit details, and availability.
House Sitting FAQs
-
Do your pet sitters and dog walkers have background checks?
Yes, all of our Woofie’s pet care professionals must undergo background checks upon hiring. -
How do you enter my home for service?
Woofie’s requires two forms of entry to the home. If a key(s) is one or more of the forms of entry, a lockbox is required to ensure your key(s) always stays on premises. A Woofie’s lockbox (which is yours to keep) is available for purchase if needed.
