Drop-In Visits in New York
Your pet stays home, a sitter drops in for the essentials
Drop-in visits are the fastest-growing pet sitting service in the US, and for good reason: they keep your pet in their own home while a verified sitter handles the essentials, feeding, water, litter, walks, medication, play. For New York households, that means your cat keeps their own routine, your dog stays in their own neighborhood, and your multi-pet home keeps its own rhythm, with photo updates after every visit and no commute, kennel, or boarding facility involved.
Petme connects New York pet owners with verified, background-checked drop-in sitters across Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Williamsburg, Park Slope, and every other major neighborhood. Owners pay 0% commission, the per-visit rate you agree with your sitter is the full price. Cashback compounds with every completed visit. And every booking automatically includes up to $20,000 in vet protection for emergency care, useful coverage in any major US metro.
