House sitting FAQs
What does house sitting in Stafford, VA include?
Lacy stays overnight in your home from approximately 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM. She cares for your pets, collects mail, manages lights, waters plants, and performs a security walk-through — everything needed to keep your home looking lived-in and your pets comfortable while you're away.
How is house sitting different from overnight pet sitting?
They're closely related — both involve Lacy staying in your home overnight. House sitting emphasizes the full home-care package: mail, lights, plants, and security checks alongside pet care.

Overnight house sitting is $150 per night. This covers your pets and your home. All new clients begin with a required Meet & Greet ($55) before any service starts.

Lacy provides house sitting up to approximately 30 miles from North Stafford (ZIP 22554). That covers North Stafford, South Stafford, Fredericksburg, Dumfries surrounding areas. Contact Lacy directly to confirm availability for your address.
Can you care for multiple pets during a house sitting stay?
Absolutely. Lacy is experienced caring for dogs, cats, and small animals together. The base rate covers up to 2 dogs and/or cats; $10 per additional dog or cat beyond 2. Exotic and farm animals are priced separately.
What house sitting actually looks like
Your home should never feel unattended when you travel. Along with caring for your pets, we follow agreed-upon home routines — bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping an eye on the everyday details that matter. That's part of the Invisible Guest Guarantee. We bring our own supplies — our own toiletries, towels, and food. We're not raiding your fridge or leaving our things around your bathroom. Your home is YOUR home; we're guests, and we act like it.
We're with your pets, not just sleeping in your home. House sitting is active care, not just overnight occupancy. Evening walks, dinnertime routines, couch time, and morning feedings — all included. If your pets need a larger portion of our day while you're on an extended trip, we can discuss enhanced-presence arrangements during your Meet & Greet.
