We want to say goodbye to the anxiety of traditional boarding facilities and welcome in the modern age of in-home pet sitting services. Traditional boarding facilities have your dog kenneled with little interaction with other dogs and humans. This leads to anxiety and fear for many dogs. Which is why we created Home Away From Home Pet Service, LLC.
We offer pet parents an alternative for their dog, in home pet boarding. Where your pup can enjoy all the comforts of home such as sleeping in bed, ample one on one time, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Many boarding facilities have you pay extra for add-ons such as walking, one on one play time, and a bedtime snack. We include all of these activities and more at no extra cost to you.
We also offer drop-in visits and walks in the client's home, while most traditional boarding facilities do not. This gives you more flexibility and freedom to choose what is best for your fur baby.
We are a bonded and insured pet sitting business. Check out our affiliations and certifications on our home page.
With over 8 years of experience in the pet service industry, we have gained a wealth of knowledge and expertise in caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. We understand the unique needs of each pet and their owners, and we work hard to exceed their expectations. Our pet sitters are vetted and background checked to ensure we only hire the most responsible and loving pet care professionals. All of our pet sitters are insured, bonded, Pet Care certified, First Aid certified, and CPR certified in order for your pet to receive the best care possible. Pet sitting is not just our career, it is our passion.
Meet n greets are required for all of our pet sitters so you can spend time getting to know them and see the environment your pup will be staying in. Your sitter will send you as many photos and updates as you want during your pet's booking. Our priority is that you feel safe and comfortable when leaving your fur baby. You can trust us to care for your pets like family.
A meet n greet is a 10–30-minute meeting between you and your sitter. Before we confirm your first booking you will have a meet n greet with your sitter to ensure we are a good fit for you and your pet.
For dog boarding and doggy daycare services you will bring your dog to your dog sitter's home to meet. For dog walking and drop-in visit services your pet sitter will come to your home to meet. Dog walking and drop-in visit meet n greets are not required, but are encouraged.
Meet n greets give you the opportunity to get to know your pet sitter and see the environment your pup will be in staying in. They also give your sitter an opportunity to meet your pet and build a foundation of trust.
After you meet with your pet sitter, we will confirm your booking request. Once the booking is confirmed you will receive a confirmation email with a payment link. To schedule a meet n greet fill out the request form below or create a booking request through the BOOK NOW button on the BOOK NOW page.
Ask your pet sitter if you need to bring bowls, toys, treats, crates, beds, etc. They will most likely already have most of those items for your pet to use.
Many boarding facilities have you pay extra for add-ons such as walking, one on one play time, and a bedtime snack. We include all of these activities and more at no extra cost to you.
A few of the activities we include are playtime with other dogs, going for walks, playing fetch outside, making homemade treats, visiting the park, getting pup cups, and snuggling on the couch. Many of our dog sitters even have kiddie pools for the dogs to play in on hot summer days.
We know how important enrichment is for dogs. We have many enrichment toys like snuffle mats, toppls, puzzle toys, and kongs. Your fur baby will be pampered with fun activities, treats, toys, attention, and of course many, many kisses.
At Home Away From Home we want your dog to be as comfortable as possible, so we try to keep the same routine they have at home. So, if your dog normally sleeps in bed with you then you can expect them to sleep in bed with your dog sitter. If your dog is used to sleeping in a kennel at home then your sitter will have them sleep in a kennel.
Our pet care professionals have experience administering medication and will work with your pet's medication schedule. If your pet requires a special diet just provide the food to your pet sitter and they will follow your care instructions.
Please email or text us a picture of your pet's vaccination records. If up to date vaccinations are not provided by your bookings start date then your booking will be cancelled. Our cancellation policy will apply. All new vaccinations should be given a minimum of one week prior to your bookings start date.
Although, we do not require your dog to be neutered or spayed, it is strongly encouraged. We do not provide boarding or daycare for female dogs in heat.
Hours for each service are listed on our NEED TO KNOW page.
Our rates vary depending on the type of service and time frame. Rates are listed on each service page. For example, if you are looking for daycare rates navigate to the Doggy Daycare page under the SERVICES tab.
After you meet with your pet sitter, we will confirm your booking request. Once the booking is confirmed you will receive a confirmation email with a payment link. The booking must be paid in full at least 7 days before your bookings start date. If you make your booking request less than 7 days from your bookings start date then payment will be required the day your booking is confirmed. If you fail to complete payment we will run the card you have on file. The cancellation policy will apply once payment is completed. If you need to modify dates or times, please promptly let your sitter know.
You will receive a full refund if you cancel at least 72 hours before your pet's scheduled start time. After that, you will receive a 50% refund on the first 7 canceled days and 100% refund on any days after that. Canceling on short notice does not allow enough adequate time to fill the open spot. By canceling three days in advance, it gives us time to fill the space.
What about weather cancellations?
Winter storms are typically predicted several days in advance. If you are worried about winter weather and your ability to get to your sitter, be cautious and cancel in advance. This will allow you to avoid cancelation fees.
What about personal or sickness cancellations?
Although we empathize, we do require a 72-hour notice. With adequate notice, we can work to fill the open spot. With less than a 72-hour notice, filling the reservation is difficult.
Discounts for multi-pet households are included in the rates sections of the service pages. We also offer a few additional discount codes listed below. Enter the code you wish to use during checkout.
