We provide in-home dog sitting for longer periods of the day, including overnight stays in your dog’s own home. This service is designed for dogs who need ongoing companionship, consistency, and reassurance, rather than short drop-in visits.

Staying in their familiar environment allows dogs to remain relaxed, settled, and secure, particularly during longer absences or overnight periods. We step into your routine as seamlessly as possible, keeping your dog’s day and night, calm, structured, and familiar.

Ideal for dogs who:

  • Prefer company for extended periods, not just Pop-Ins

  • Feel unsettled in kennels or unfamiliar environments

  • Are older, calmer, or lower-energy

  • Benefit from routine, predictability, and a home setting

  • Need someone present overnight for comfort and reassurance

What in-home sitting includes:

  • Extended daytime care, not rushed or time-limited

  • Overnight stays in your dog’s own home, maintaining normal sleeping routines

  • Short walks, garden breaks, and sniff time, tailored to your dog’s energy levels

  • Feeding, medication administration (if required), and fresh water management

  • Enrichment activities and interaction spread naturally throughout the day

  • Companionship, calm presence, and reassurance, especially overnight

Unlike pop-ins, dog sitting allows us to structure the entire day or large portions of the day around your dog, balancing rest, enrichment, interaction, and gentle activity without the disruption of gaps between visits.

We believe longer-stay care should feel like a trusted routine continuing, not a service being slotted in. Our in-home dog sitting and overnight care offers dogs in Dereham and surrounding areas comfort, familiarity, and genuine companionship, giving owners complete peace of mind while they’re away..
