Greater Heights overnight pet sitting in your home.
When you travel, your dog stays home in Greater Heights, same bed, same routine, morning walks through tree-lined Victorian streets, bungalow porches, and the Heights Hike-and-Bike Trail. A Shaggy Chic sitter sleeps over, handles every meal and walk, and sends a daily photo + note update so you can travel without the guilt. 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
Heights homes range from bungalows with real yard space to three-story townhomes with a small patch of turf. We scope the full layout during the meet & greet and build the staycation routine around what your dog's home actually provides. For Heights dogs used to the Hike-and-Bike or the Lorraine Cherry trails, those stay in the daily routine. We don't substitute a shorter loop because you're away.

Greater Heights · Frequently asked
What Greater Heights pet owners ask about overnight staycations.
Do you provide overnight pet sitting throughout Greater Heights?
Yes — Greater Heights is one of our core neighborhoods. Our sitters live and work close to the area, and we've been doing overnight stays in Greater Heights since 2010. Your sitter comes to your home, stays the night, and handles everything from morning walks to bedtime so your dog never has to leave.
Does my dog ever leave home during a staycation?
Never. Your dog stays in your home, in their own bed, on their own schedule. We do not board dogs elsewhere or take them to a sitter's house. The whole point is that your dog's world stays exactly the same while you're gone — same house, same routine, same familiar environment.
How does overnight coverage actually work?
Your sitter arrives in the evening, settles in, and is there through the night. In the morning they handle breakfast and the first walk, then stay through the day handling meals, walks, and play until you return. You get a daily photo + note update so you can travel without the guilt of not knowing how your dog is doing.
Can you handle medications, a senior dog, or special dietary needs?
Yes. We're comfortable with oral medications, eye drops, insulin, and specialty diets. Senior dogs and anxious dogs are our specialty — we take the time to understand what your dog needs and build the care plan around that, not around convenience. Bring all the details to the meet & greet.
How does the meet & greet work for a Heights home with an unusual layout?
The meet & greet is specifically designed to handle this. Your sitter comes to your home, walks every room your pet has access to, confirms yard access or the walk-only setup for townhome dogs, and builds the overnight routine around what your home actually provides. Heights homes range from bungalows with real yards to three-story townhomes — we've seen all of them, and the meet & greet is how we make sure nothing is figured out on the fly during your trip.
