Simple pricing, per visit
Each rate covers up to two pets in the same home. Additional pets are $3 each per visit.

For dogs: a potty break or a short walk around the block. For cats and small pets: fresh water, litter or cage cleaning, and a quick check that all is well.
Drop-in visit 30 min
A walk or playtime, plus feeding, fresh water and medications. Puppies welcome, including midday potty-training visits.
Extended drop-in 60 min
A longer walk, or unhurried company for dogs who don't like long stretches alone, with time for brushing and one-on-one attention.
Overnight stays Coming soon
A sitter stays the night in your home, so your pet keeps their own bed and routine.
✓ Prepay for 20 visits, get 1 FREE.
✓ Every drop-in includes bringing in the mail, watering plants and turning lights on or off.
Planning a trip? Most pets do best with two visits a day while you're away, and puppies and seniors often need three or four. Because every rate covers two pets, in-home visits can cost about the same as boarding, and often less for two-pet homes.

Walks and visits: cancel more than 24 hours ahead at no charge. Cancellations within 24 hours are charged 50%.
Bookings of 3 or more days in a row: cancel 7 or more days ahead at no charge. Cancellations within 7 days are charged 50%.
Payment
Zelle, Venmo or cash preferred; cards accepted.
Why in-home care
Home is the calmest place to be
Boarding means a strange building, unfamiliar smells, barking dogs and a new schedule. At home, your pet keeps their own bed, their own yard and their usual routine.

A few of the faces I love
About Wagabond
Hi, I'm Heidi.
Animals have always been family to me. Right now that includes my blind dog, who gets around the house better than most sighted dogs, and over the years I've adopted several seniors who taught me how much the little things matter. I also foster for LifeLine Animal Project, helping animals get ready for their forever homes.
When I needed someone to care for my own crew, I couldn't find anyone who really understood blind and senior pets. I wanted a sitter who would slow down, talk to them, and love them the way I do. That's why I started Wagabond.
I treat every pet like my own, whether it's a puppy who needs a midday break, a cat who wants some company, or an older dog who takes things slow. You'll know your pet is in good hands.
