Dog care for business travel. Set it up once, reuse it every trip.
Overnight boarding or a sitter at your home covers the nights you are away. Find one sitter your dog knows, and the next work trip is a single message, not a fresh scramble.
The options for planned and last-minute trips, a repeatable plan for frequent travelers, and how to keep tabs on the dog from another city. Plus the protection that travels with the booking.
Find one sitter, then trips run on autopilot.
Book overnight boarding or house sitting for the nights away, do the meet-and-greet and a trial on a short trip, then reuse the same sitter each time. The first trip takes setup, every trip after is a quick rebooking with a dog that already knows the person. Keep a backup sitter for the short-notice flights.
Match the care to your pet.
Social dogs do well boarding, home-bound dogs do well with a sitter at the house, and cats are usually fine with drop-ins on shorter trips.
In-home boarding at the sitter
The dog stays at a sitter home for the nights you are away, with company, walks, and a settled routine. Good for social dogs and for trips where you want the dog supervised around the clock rather than alone between visits. Book the exact nights of the trip.
House sitting at your place
A sitter stays at your home overnight so the dog keeps its own bed, yard, and routine. The lowest-disruption option for a dog that does best on home turf, and it keeps the house lived-in while you travel. Best for multi-night trips.
Drop-in visits for cats
If a cat is what stays behind, daily drop-ins cover food, water, litter, and a little company for shorter trips. For longer stretches or a cat that frets alone, step up to overnight house sitting instead.
Four steps to make it repeatable.
If you travel for work often, the goal is to never start from scratch. Set this up once and every future trip is a message and a confirmation.
01.Find your go-to sitter once
Browse sitters in your city, do a meet-and-greet, and run one trial booking on a short trip. Once you have a sitter the dog knows and you trust, every future work trip is one message instead of a fresh search.
02.Reuse the same person each trip
Rebooking the same sitter means the dog already knows them, the instructions are already understood, and there is no onboarding each time. For frequent travelers this consistency is the difference between a calm dog and a stressed one.
03.Have a short-notice backup
Work trips move fast. Keep a second sitter you have met as a backup so a sudden Monday flight is covered even if your first choice is busy. Message both, book whoever confirms first.
04.Stay updated from the road
Photo updates and an in-app message thread let you check on the dog between meetings without phone tag across time zones. You see the dog is fine, send a quick reply, and get back to work.
Three things working in your favor.
Work travel is unpredictable, but the care does not have to be. These three keep it calm whether the trip was booked weeks ago or this morning.
Last minute is normal here
Plenty of sitters take short-notice work. Message two or three with your dates, say it is a work trip on short notice, and book whoever confirms first. A sudden travel order does not have to mean a scramble.
Protection Plan for eligible vet costs
You get up to $22,000 through the Petme Protection Plan for eligible vet costs. When you are in another city and cannot get back quickly, knowing an emergency is covered is worth a lot.
Built for people who travel often
The first trip takes a meet-and-greet and a trial. After that, recurring work travel is a known sitter, a saved routine, and a one-tap rebooking. The setup cost is paid once, not every trip.
