Overview
Overnight pet sitting is night-time care at the owner’s address, so pets keep their beds, smells, and evening routines.
Key benefits
- Pets remain in their own environment.
- Booked by night, not as boarding in someone else’s home.
- Overnight schedule and instructions travel with the booking.
- In-app messaging with the provider.
How it works
- Choose check-in and check-out nights.
- Share evening, overnight, and morning routines.
- A provider who offers overnight sitting accepts the stay.
- Remain reachable through Pawhaven if plans change.
What owners can expect
- The provider stays at the booking address, not a boarding home.
- You still supply food, keys, and access as the booking describes.
- Capacity and overlapping stays are limited by the provider’s own calendar.
Safety
Overnight sitting is not 24/7 veterinary coverage. Share honest details about anxiety, exits, and medications before the stay starts.
Questions about overnight pet sitting
How is this different from boarding?
Overnight sitting happens in the owner’s home. Boarding is when the pet stays with an eligible provider.
