Pet Sitting
But with an extra edge of expertise.
Our in-home pet sitting combines compassionate care with a trainer’s eye for behavior, health, and welfare. While we aren’t running formal training sessions during your dog’s stay, we naturally reinforce good manners and calm behavior throughout the day using Kathy Sdao’s SMART x 50 protocol.
This means every interaction is a chance to reward your dog for making great choices—whether it’s relaxing quietly, greeting politely, or settling down after play. The result? A smoother, happier experience that supports your dog’s wellbeing while giving you peace of mind.
Pet sitting with a certified trainer is more than feeding and potty breaks—it’s enrichment, structure, and positive reinforcement woven seamlessly into daily care. Your dog gets the comfort of home, plus the reassurance that every moment supports their learning and confidence.
What Your Dog’s Day Looks Like
With our “almost overnight” pet sitting, your dog enjoys 3 hours of professional, in-home care spread across the day—ideal for pups who find traditional kenneling stressful or overwhelming
Pricing
Full Day: $120
Half Day: $60
Additional Pets
Cats $15 per day – This fee reflects the extra time and attention required to provide feline companions with individualized care, enrichment, and engagement while you’re away.
Bonded Canine Pairs $15 per day per dog – For dogs who enjoy doing everything together.
Individual Dog Walks $20 per day per dog – For dogs who benefit from one-on-one walks. This may be required for reactive and/or extra large or powerful dogs who cannot be safely handled by one individual.
Additional Cleaning Starting at $10
We understand that pets can occasionally become ill or have accidents, and we will always do our best to clean up both your pet and any affected areas. Please keep in mind that extensive cleanup or bathing may negatively impact our ability to stay on schedule for other clients that day. In cases where cleanup requires significant time or effort, you will be promptly notified and an additional fee will be assessed.
Holidays +$5 per visit
Unlike many walking & pet sitting services, we do not require or pressure employees to work on holidays as we feel this is a very personal decision. This often results in reduced services on holidays. We also try to make our holiday rates affordable, so please book well in advance. Dogged Pursuits observes the following holidays:
