What’s Included in a Premium Overnight Sit for Your Pets?
What’s included in a premium overnight sit for your pets? With Birddog Catwalk, your sitter stays in your home for the agreed overnight period, follows your pets’ usual routine and includes their dog walks as part of the booking. Your pets can sleep in their familiar surroundings, with a person there to care for them in the evening and morning.
The word “premium” refers to the included dog walks. Our standard overnight sit offers the same attentive care for pets who do not need walks. If your dog does need them, the premium option includes either two 30-minute walks or one 60-minute walk per day, as agreed for your pet. You can see both options on our house and pet sitting page.
A sitter who knows your pet’s routine
Before the sit, we learn when your pets eat, where they sleep, what comforts them and the little habits that make home feel like home. That might mean following a particular bedtime routine, giving a cat space to approach in their own time, or knowing which walk your dog enjoys. Our aim is for your pets to feel relaxed and comfortable while you are away.
We agree the care plan with you in advance, including feeding, walks, any permitted treats and any additional needs. An overnight booking is not a promise that the sitter will remain in the house every minute of the day; tell us if your pet has limits on how long they can be left so we can plan the right cover.
Walks that are already included
If your dogs need their daily walks, a premium overnight sit includes two 30-minute outings or one 60-minute outing per day. We tailor the pace and route to the dogs in our care, rather than assume every dog wants the same kind of exercise. Our sitters bring their own recycled or compostable poo bags and natural treats, used with your permission and in line with any dietary instructions.
If you are comparing walk lengths or need additional care outside the standard parameters of the booking, our dog walking service explains the options. The walks are the practical difference between premium and standard overnight sitting; care, kindness and professionalism apply to both.
Trained sitters and support when plans change
Every Birddog Catwalk sitter is trained in pet first aid and GDPR, so they understand how to respond to a pet-care concern and handle your household information responsibly. They are also supported by the wider team if an emergency or unexpected issue arises. We will follow your emergency contacts and instructions and keep you informed when something needs your attention.
You will receive regular updates about your pets and home, so you know how they are settling and what they have been up to. We can agree the kind of updates that are most useful to you before you leave. Our earlier guide to what to expect from a pet sitting service explains the preparation for care in more detail.
Thoughtful care for your home, too
Our sitters are expected to be clean and tidy and to leave your home respectfully. We ask them to check practical details such as whether plants need watering and whether bins need putting out or bringing back in, according to the instructions you leave. After an overnight sit, they strip the bed they have used. These small things help you come home to a house that has been looked after as well as your pets.
Is a premium overnight sit right for your pets?
Choose premium when your dogs need walks during the overnight booking. If walks are not needed, standard overnight sitting provides the same core care and companionship. If you are unsure which to book, tell us about your pets, their routine and your travel dates. We can discuss the fit during your enquiry and meet and greet.
