Boarding, house sitting or drop-in visits: which care suits your pet?
Updated 12 November 2026
“Pet sitting” can mean very different things. Here are the six kinds of care you can book on SnudeRo, and when each one makes sense.
Overnight at the sitter’s (boarding)
Your pet lives with the sitter (in a private home, a pet hotel, a stable or a farm) for the nights you’re away. Good for dogs that like company and new places, and for longer trips. Priced per night.
The sitter stays at your home (house sitting)
The sitter moves into your home and looks after your pets there, day and night. Your pets keep their own routine and surroundings, which suits cats, older animals, several pets at once, and animals that are hard to move, like aquariums or horses. Priced per night.
Day care at the sitter’s or in your home
A few hours of care during the day, for example while you’re at work. At the sitter’s place your dog gets company and activity; in your home the sitter comes to you. Priced per hour.
Dog walking
The sitter picks up your dog and takes it for a walk. A good fit on long working days, or for dogs that need more exercise than you have time for. Dogs only, priced per walk.
Drop-in visits
A short visit to feed, clean and check on your pets, including cages, aquariums, stables and coops. Often the right choice for cats and small pets that are happiest at home. Priced per visit.
