Why keeping your pet in a familiar environment can be the best choice.
When it comes to pet care, most people focus on the basics—feeding, walking, and potty breaks. But for pets, especially those sensitive to change, how and where care is provided makes all the difference.
At Burbank Pet Sitting, we offer personalized services—drop-in visits and in-home house sitting—designed to meet your pet’s needs with minimal disruption and maximum comfort. Here’s why in-home care isn’t just convenient—it’s the most compassionate option for your furry family members.
1. Less Stress, More Stability
Pets thrive on routine and familiarity. A sudden change in environment—like being dropped off at a kennel—can lead to anxiety, appetite changes, or even behavioral setbacks.
In-home care allows pets to:
Stay in a space they know and trust
Stick to their regular eating, walking, and sleeping schedules
Avoid loud, overstimulating environments
Maintain a sense of security even when you're away
Whether it’s a mid-day drop-in or an overnight house sit, keeping your pet in their own home means fewer stress triggers and a smoother experience overall.
2. Personalized Attention
In commercial settings, staff must divide their time among dozens of animals. With in-home pet care, your pet receives individualized attention from someone who knows their name, their quirks, and their routine.
At Burbank Pet Sitting, we take the time to get to know your pet—what makes them happy, what calms them, and what they need to feel safe and seen. It’s not a shift for us; it’s a relationship.
Our services include:
Drop-in visits for meals, potty breaks, playtime, and medication
House sitting for round-the-clock companionship and care
3. Reduced Risk of Illness or Injury
Boarding facilities—no matter how clean—are high-traffic environments. That means higher chances of exposure to illnesses like kennel cough, parasites, or GI upset. There’s also the risk of injury from overstimulated play groups or stressful confinement.
With in-home care, your pet avoids:
Shared water bowls and bedding
Exposure to dozens of unfamiliar dogs
Crates or kennels
Overcrowded play yards and rotating staff
We maintain a clean, calm, and highly supervised environment—your own home—so your pet stays safe and healthy.
4. Better Behavior While You’re Away
Stressful experiences while you're gone can impact your pet long after you return. Some pets regress in potty training, develop new anxieties, or become clingy and withdrawn.
In-home care supports long-term well-being by keeping things predictable and positive. Pets who feel secure in their environment are less likely to develop anxiety-driven behaviors.
5. Peace of Mind for You, Too
We know it’s hard to leave your pet behind. That’s why we keep you updated with daily check-ins, photos, and notes from each visit or overnight stay. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing—we treat them like family, and we’ll keep you in the loop every step of the way.
In-Home Care That Feels Like Home

Our in-home options:
Drop-In Visits – Great for dogs who need a walk, meal, or medication mid-day
