Common Questions About Our Metro Detroit Pet Sitting Services
How does in-home pet sitting work?
You begin by choosing one of our services, and then we custom-tailor everything to the specific needs of you and your pet(s). Our sitter visits your home at the scheduled times to care for your pets in their own familiar environment. We handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter or potty cleanup, and medication if needed. Each visit includes a detailed report and photo update, so you always know how your pet is doing.
Are your sitters insured and background-checked?
Yes! Every Doggie LatchKey sitter is professionally screened, background-checked, and fully bonded and insured. Your pets and your home are protected at all times, that’s why thousands of Metro Detroit pet parents have trusted us since 2009.
What areas do you serve?
We provide pet sitting and dog walking across Metro Detroit, including Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne Counties. Common service areas include Royal Oak, Birmingham, Troy, Novi, Rochester Hills, Farmington Hills, Sterling Heights, and nearby communities.
How do I schedule or cancel visits?
Booking is easy — you can schedule, modify, or cancel visits right through our online portal or by calling our office. We just ask for 24-hour notice for any changes when possible. For recurring clients, we can also create a custom weekly schedule.
Do you offer same-day or last-minute visits?
Whenever possible, yes! If one of our local sitters is available, we’ll happily accommodate last-minute bookings or schedule changes. We understand life happens — just reach out by phone or text and we’ll do our best to help.
What’s included in each visit?
Every visit includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, cleanup, and lots of attention. For dog walks, we match the route and pace to your dog’s needs. You’ll also receive a real-time update with notes and photos after every visit.
Can you administer medication or handle special care instructions?
Absolutely. Our sitters are trained to administer oral and topical medications, and some of our professional pet sitters are also trained to administer injectable medications when needed. We carefully review all feeding routines and special care instructions during your meet-and-greet to ensure your pet’s care is seamless, safe, and stress-free.
