Greater Heights extended pet sitting in your home.
Some pets don't need a sitter sleeping in their bed, but they do need real company at the bookends of the day. Almost Overnights are extended late-evening and early-morning visits in your Greater Heights home. Your sitter walks tree-lined Victorian streets, bungalow porches, and the Heights Hike-and-Bike Trail, settles your pet for the night, and is back in the morning before the day starts. We know the shaded loops along Heights Boulevard, the quiet side streets near Donovan Park, and which sidewalks heat up fastest in August.

In Greater Heights
Almost Overnights work well for Heights households where dogs are comfortable home alone during the middle of the day but need real bookend coverage. The Heights is a late-evening neighborhood — our 9–10pm visit timing fits how most Heights households actually run. For townhome and high-rise dogs without yard access, the evening walk is especially important, and we treat it as a full walk, not a quick potty run.

Greater Heights · Frequently asked
What Greater Heights pet owners ask about Almost Overnights.
Do you offer Almost Overnights throughout Greater Heights?
Yes — Greater Heights is one of our core neighborhoods. Almost Overnights are available here and include a late-evening visit and an early-morning visit at your home in Greater Heights. We've been providing in-home pet care in this area since 2010.
What exactly is an Almost Overnight?
An Almost Overnight is two extended in-home visits per day: one late in the evening to walk, feed, and settle your pet for the night, and one early in the morning to walk, feed, and get them started for the day. Your pet sleeps at home — we don't stay overnight, but we cover both ends of the day so your dog is never alone for too long.
What time do you come in the evening and morning?
Evening visits are typically in the 9–10 pm range. Morning visits are usually 6–7 am. Exact timing is confirmed at the meet & greet based on your dog's routine and your schedule. We're flexible, and we plan around your pet's needs.
Is this the right service for an anxious or senior dog?
It depends on the dog. For an anxious dog that just needs company at the bookends of the day, Almost Overnights can be ideal — same sitter, familiar routine, home environment. For a dog who can't be alone at all overnight, a full Staycation (overnight stay) is usually a better fit. We'll help you decide at the meet & greet.
Our dog's household runs late — is the 9–10pm timing actually workable?
It's exactly right for most Heights households. The Heights tends to run later than most of our service area, and our 9–10pm evening visit timing was shaped by clients in this neighborhood. If your dog's last potty break is usually closer to 10:30pm, we'll confirm exact timing at the meet & greet — we build around your routine, not a fixed schedule.
