Why In-Home Pet Care is the Better Choice

Dogs and cats thrive on familiarity.

​

Their nervous systems regulate through routine — familiar smells, predictable feeding times, the same walking routes, the same resting spots. When that environment changes abruptly, stress often increases.

 

That stress can show up as anxiety, digestive upset, reactivity, disrupted sleep, or setbacks in training progress.

 

Boarding facilities can be a good fit for some pets.
But for many — especially sensitive, reactive, senior, or medically managed animals — the stimulation of a new environment can be overwhelming.

 

In-home care protects stability.

 

By maintaining routine, preserving environment, and reinforcing established structure, pets remain calmer — and calmer pets behave better.

 

At Nibbles & Yips, our structured drop-in visits and vacation care are designed to support regulation, not disrupt it.

​

Peace is preserved.
Standards are upheld.
Excellence is intentional.

Drop-in Visits

Private, in-home visits scheduled when your pet needs care — morning, midday, or evening.

Life doesn’t always line up perfectly with your pet’s routine.

Flights get in late. Meetings run long. Dinner reservations stretch. Sporting events go into overtime. And while your schedule shifts, your pet still expects breakfast at 7, dinner at 6, and medications on time.

Our drop-in visits provide dependable support when you need a helping hand — whether that’s:

  • A morning breakfast and potty break

  • A midday check-in while you're at work

  • An evening feeding when you’ll be home late

  • Timely medication support

  • A short walk and companionship

We step in so routines stay intact — even when your day doesn’t.

How Our Vacation Pet Care Drop-ins Work

Our Vacation Pet Care Package is designed to mirror a normal evening and morning routine in your home.

​

We begin with a two-hour evening visit focused on companionship and consistency. This visit includes dinner, enrichment, relaxed time together, and your pet’s usual wind-down routine. When appropriate, we may include a short walk.

​

We also read aloud during the evening visit. In most homes, pets are used to hearing conversation throughout the day. Whether you are speaking to them or talking with family members, that steady cadence of language becomes part of their environment. Reading aloud helps maintain that familiar rhythm and sense of presence while you are away.

​

We return the next morning, within twelve hours, for a one-hour visit that includes a good morning greeting, a potty break, and breakfast.

​

Together, these visits recreate the comfort of overnight pet sitting while allowing your dog or cat to remain in their familiar surroundings.

​

To support comfort during the day, we add a 30-minute midday drop-in visit for an additional potty break, light engagement, and affection. When appropriate, this may include a short walk.

​

For pet parents in Westminster, Thornton, Broomfield, and Northglenn who are looking for professional in-home vacation pet care, this approach provides continuity without the stress of boarding.

​

Routine stays intact.
Stress stays lower.
Care remains intentional.

What's included?

Our Vacation Care Package includes three visits per day:

  • 2-hour evening visit with dinner, enrichment, wind-down routine, and bedtime reading

  • 1-hour morning visit within 12 hours for greeting, potty break, and breakfast

  • 30-minute midday visit for an additional potty break and affection

Each visit also includes:

  • Feeding and fresh water

  • • Medication administration (if needed)

  • Litter box maintenance

  • Visit report with notes, photos, and GPS-verified timestamps

  • Secure in-app communication

  • Light home care tasks (mail, plants, trash, light rotation)

Two pets are included in the daily rate.
 

Additional pets (3+) are $7 per pet, per visit.

 

All visits are private and never combined with other households.

How Our Extended Care Works

Extended Care is built for pets who need more consistent supervision, companionship, or hands-on support.

​

Extended Care is ideal for families seeking overnight pet sitting in Westminster, Thornton, or Broomfield without the uncertainty of loosely defined “overnight” stays. We offer dedicated care blocks. During these blocks, your pet receives focused presence and attentive care within clearly defined time parameters.

​​

Extended Care may be used during the day, in the evening, or for overnight support when appropriate. What matters most is the level of presence your pet receives.

​

Clients are reserving time, not just a sleepover.

​

We offer three Extended Care options:

  • 4-Hour Care Block
    Up to 30 minutes away from your pet during the reserved time.

  • 8-Hour Care Block
    Up to 1 hour away from your pet during the reserved time.

  • 12-Hour Care Block
    Up to 2.5 hours away from your pet during the reserved time.

During each care block, your pet receives dedicated companionship and supervision within clearly defined time parameters.​

​

The brief time away built into longer care blocks allows our team members to take necessary breaks and comply with labor regulations. As an employer, we compensate our employees fairly and structure schedules responsibly. This ensures that when they are present with your pet, they are attentive, rested, and fully engaged.

​

Healthy team members provide better care.

​

This approach creates clarity for families and sustainability for the people caring for your pets.
