Pet sitter playing with a happy dog during a drop-in visit in North Stafford VA

  • 15–30 minute in-home check-in (adjusted for number of pets and needs)
  • Feeding & water refresh
  • Potty break or litter box cleaning
  • Playtime and affection
  • Multiple daily visits available

Perfect for cats, small animals, or dogs who do well alone but need regular check-ins.

Arrival windows, not exact times: Visits are scheduled in an arrival window (for example, 9–10 AM or 10 AM–12 PM) rather than a single fixed time. Windows can be adjusted to fit your schedule — just let us know. Time with your pet may run longer when extra needs come up, and you'll always get a photo update after every visit.

Extra pet fee: Base rate includes up to 2 dogs and/or cats. For each additional dog or cat beyond 2, a $10 fee per visit applies. Exotic and farm animals are priced separately.

Licensed, bonded & insured. Stay With Lacy, LLC operates with full professional coverage for your peace of mind.

What actually happens during a drop-in visit

Here's what actually happens during a Stay With Lacy drop-in visit. I arrive at your home and do a quick check — doors locked, everything looks normal, no issues. Then it's all about your pet. Fresh food and water per your exact instructions. Potty break without being rushed. Then playtime and affection — not optional. Your pet isn't just getting fed and watered; they're getting attention. Belly rubs, fetch, laser pointer for the cats, whatever makes them happy.

I also do a wellness check every visit. Are they eating? Are they alert? Is anything different from last time? A photo update is sent directly to you so you can see your happy pet after every visit.

Drop-ins are available not only when you're traveling — we're also available for consistent daily or weekly drop-in care while you're at work throughout the week.

Multi-visit pricing: Each drop-in visit is priced by distance from ZIP 22554: $30 within 10 miles, $45 for 11–20 miles, or quoted individually beyond 20 miles. Book as many daily visits as your pet needs — just request them through Time To Pet.
