Many pets thrive in the comfort and security of their own home, which is why we offer our homestay service as a thoughtful and stress-free alternative to traditional pet boarding. With our homestay service, your pet can continue to enjoy their usual routine—whether it's lounging on their favorite couch, playing in the yard, or simply curling up in their bed—while receiving the highest level of care. From feeding and playtime to companionship and snuggles, we make sure that your pet feels loved and comfortable throughout their homestay. Your fur baby can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from being in their own home, while you can relax knowing they’re in caring hands.
Homestays are especially beneficial for dogs who prefer to avoid other animals, experience anxiety in unfamiliar settings, or simply enjoy one-on-one attention. We’ve also worked with cats who crave affection and often dread their owners’ departure. Our experienced pet sitters are dedicated to providing attentive, one-on-one care, ensuring that your pet's emotional and physical needs are met. Whether you have an older dog who feels most at ease at home, a cat who dislikes being left alone, or you simply want to keep your pet in their own environment, our homestay service is the perfect solution.
At Home Away From Home Pet Service, we understand that every pet—and every schedule—is unique. That’s why we offer a range of flexible homestay options designed to provide your pet with the personalized care they deserve, whether you're away for a few hours or several days. From standard and extended stays to overnight care and daytime visits, our goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in the familiar surroundings of your home.
Before confirming your booking, we’ll arrange a meet n greet with your pet sitter, allowing you and your pet to get acquainted. Our professional pet sitters are insured, bonded, background checked, and certified in pet care, first aid, and CPR, ensuring your pet receives the highest standard of care. During your homestay, your pet sitter will send you daily photos and updates, so you can relax and enjoy your time away. Your fur baby will appreciate staying in their routine, while your pet sitter provides all the love, attention, and care they deserve.
