Pet Sitting in your home

“I’ve hired Rachelle a few times now and it’s always a high quality experience. I’ve never wondered about my pets in her care and I appreciate the pictures she sends. Sometimes there’s 6-12 months in between visits and she still remembers tiny details about my pets, which is impressive. I’d recommend her to anyone.” (Kristin B Google reviews)

Why choose a professional to care for your pets?

Familiar Surroundings

When pets are cared for in their own home, they have reduced stress. This means reduced stress for you! Pets stay on their normal routines and do not need to adapt to new environments. Also, there’s no “travel trauma” to your pets, because they do not need to be transported anywhere. Pets are often much happier when they stay in their own homes. Keeping pets in their own homes while you’re away significantly reduces the risk of illness. They also avoid exposure which can happen in a setting with other animals.

Personalized Attention

A private pet sitter can often spend more one-on-one time with your dog or cat when it’s just your pets. Why not take advantage of a sitter who can spend time cuddling with your kitty on the couch, or playing fetch with your dog in the backyard?

Responsible and reliable

When you choose a professional sitter, this is their job. You’ll know what time frames to expect your sitter and get an update with pictures after each visit. We’re trained for a variety of pets and scenarios that could happen. We hope nothing does, but we are insured for the ‘just in case’. We make note of possible health concerns and personality changes and alert the owners in our updates. We can coordinate a vet visit if needed, and in case of emergency we have pet first aid and CPR training. If you’re away, we do our best to give you the peace of mind that your pets are in great hands. At LAPS, we use Fear Free methods to keep them as comfortable as possible.

BLT-(Breakfast/Lunch/Tuck in). A premium, structured care option designed around the times pets need the most support — morning, midday, and evening.

BLT provides three thoughtfully spaced visits throughout the day. This schedule allows pets to maintain familiar routines. They receive longer care at the most important points in their day. This option prioritizes calm, consistent care. It focuses on when pets typically eat. It also considers when they go outside, take medications, and settle for rest.

Morning Visit (60 minutes)
A calm start to the day focused on feeding, medications, potty time, exercise, and individual attention. The extended morning visit allows care to happen without rushing, especially in homes with multiple pets or different routines.

Midday Potty & Check-In (20 minutes)
A reliable midday break provides relief and potty break for dogs. It resets routines. It offers a visual check on each pet’s comfort and well-being.

Evening / Bedtime Visit (90 minutes)
A longer, relaxed visit designed around dinner, medications, enrichment, and settling routines. The extended evening time allows pets to wind down comfortably before bedtime.

Check ins are customized. They can include: Taking trash/recycling to the curb, Bringing small packages and mail inside, and Rotating blinds and lights. A walk can be included if weather and time permits.

*Prices may be adjusted for mileage and Holidays. Exact pricing given at time of request for services.

Vacation visits (check ins if you’re out of town): Dogs require at least 3 visits per day. We ensure we do not go longer than 12 hours in between visits. Cats require at least one visit a day. All pets must remain indoors unless we are supervising them outside. We do not allow doggy doors during our care.
