A tired dog is a happy dog. A happy dog is a good dog.

Many folks are beginning to find out the wonderful benefits of having a personal pet sitter for their fur kids. These definite benefits are hard to match, especially when that pet sitter bears a Lap of Luxury name. Just ask our clients and they’ll tell you, there is a certain kind of warmth and care that comes from what we do. We do it, like no one else. We do it better and that’s a the goal! With that said, there is one thing that our clients ask us about quite a bit: How many visits per day is sufficient? Well, while every pets (and home) time and attention need is different, we generally suggest between 3 and four visits per day. And, you guessed it, the 3 visit day is our most popular.

Visit Length

While we’re on this topic of how many the next immediate question should be: how long? Let us dig into a few tips on the length of your pets visits. The amount of time a pet sitter spends at your home with your pets is entirely up to you and, in short, as described below. Do note, that service is provided depending on time availability so make sure you reserve your visits earlier than later! Okay, back to how long. Our typical visits are:

• Classic Visit* – 10 to 15 minutes
• Luxe Visit* – 20 to 30 minutes
• De’Luxe Visit – 45 minutes
• Hourly – hourly
