What We Offer
Long day away from home? Sticking to your pet's routine shouldn't feel like a logistical nightmare. I’m here to bridge the gap.
From backyard fetch and quick potty breaks to litter box duty, enrichment games, or just dinner on time, pet visits are completely customized hangs in the comfort of their own home. You get total peace of mind, and your creature crew gets their exact daily dose of care.
Whatever they need today, I’m on it.
-
I will come to your home and hang out with your pet for a ~15 minute visit. This will include a quick activity, either for them — running outside for a bio break, taking some meds, eating breakfast — or for me and your peace of mind — like cleaning out a litter box or checking the mail.
This is ideal for a pet while you're away for a few hours, or a low maintenance while you’re away for a weekend. It's also perfect the pet owner who is looking for a lower budget care option.
As always, I prioritize safety and would never leave your or your pet in a lurch. However, if I do need to stay past the original 15 minutes, that time will be invoiced.
PLEASE NOTE: Applicable add-ons — such as additional pets ($10/dogs, $5/cats and small animals) and young pets <1 year ($5) — or surcharges like holiday and travel are billed separately.
-
I will come to your home and hang out with your pet for a ~30 minute visit. This gives us plenty of time for a full routine: a relaxed potty break or yard romp, meal service and fresh water, medication, a litter box refresh, and a solid dose of playtime or one-on-one snuggles.
This is ideal for pets who need a dedicated midday break while you’re at work, or for cats, seniors, fearful, immunocompromised, and routine-loving animals who need consistent care while you're out of town. It’s the perfect balance of care, companionship, and routine management.
As always, I pay close attention to body language to ensure your pet is getting exactly what they need — whether that’s burning off energy with fetch or just quiet, supportive hangs.
PLEASE NOTE: Prices are calculated per 30-minute increment. Applicable add-ons — such as additional pets ($10/dogs, $5/cats and small animals per 30 mins) and young pets <1 year ($5 per 30 mins) — or surcharges like holiday and travel are billed separately.
-
Need extended company for a pet who thrives on human presence? I will come to your home for a longer stay (from 1 to 6 hours) to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and right on schedule. This includes custom enrichment, extended yard or indoor play, multiple feeding/potty routines, and plenty of lap time so they never feel lonely.
This is ideal for anxious or high-needs pets, animals recovering from surgery, high-energy pups who need continuous supervision, or pet parents who just want maximum peace of mind during a long day away. This does not include overnight stays.
As always, every extended visit is completely tailored to your pet's ideal routine and stress levels, ensuring your home stays pristine and your pet stays completely relaxed.
PLEASE NOTE: Extended visits are billed at standard rate of $25 + $15 for every additional 30 minutes (up to 2 hours), and $10 per additional 30 minutes thereafter (up to 6 hours). Add-ons for extra pets or young pets apply per 30-minute block. For care needed beyond 6 consecutive hours, please email erin@makingfetchhappen.co directly so we can build a custom stay!

Keep your creature crew on a predictable, comforting routine—and save cash while you're at it. I’ll stop by your home on set days each week to handle your pet’s care, providing consistent, science-backed visits that keep their stress low and their daily habits right on track.
This is ideal for busy office workers, regular WFH pros, and pets who thrive on predictability (like senior animals or cats who demand dinner at 5 PM sharp). You get a locked-in schedule, a fixed monthly rate, and built-in savings without the hassle of rebooking every single week.
As always, care is tailored to your pet's specific body language and energy levels, ensuring they get the exact mix of play, enrichment, or quiet companionship they need.
PLEASE NOTE: Subscriptions are billed on the 1st of each month (with no long-term contracts, just 15 days' notice to change or cancel). Any applicable surcharges or add-ons are not discounted and will be added to your monthly invoice at their standard full price.

Need high-quality, in-home pet care that flexes around an unpredictable schedule? Grab a discounted credit bundle and use your visits whenever you need them — whether that’s three times one week for long office days or once the next for a quick weekend errand.
This is ideal for hybrid workers, shift workers, or anyone whose calendar changes week-to-week. You get discounted per-visit pricing without committing to the exact same days every single month.
As always, every visit redeemed with your credits includes our signature hyper-detailed care, zero-disruption routine management, and real-time photo updates.
PLEASE NOTE: All credit bundles must be used within 60 days of purchase and are non-refundable. Any applicable surcharges or add-ons are charged separately when each individual visit is booked. Standard scheduling availability applies.
To purchase a 10, 15, or 20-pack, email erin@makingfetchhappen.co!
What Makes Us Different
Customization
Pets aren't one-size-fits-all, and their needs change day to day. I’m a pro at reading the room (and the body language) to figure out what your pet needs in the moment, but true care goes beyond short-term fixes. Together, we’ll outline your long-term goals with a realistic, strategic care plan tailored specifically to your pet's routine, personality, and nervous system.
Empathy First
I treat your home and your pets with the exact level of care, respect, and communication I want for my own two anxious rescue pups (I took the Golden Rule in elementary school very seriously.) My primary focus isn't just showing up — it’s actively earning the trust of you and your entire creature crew, step by step.
Proven Commitment
I don't just "love animals" — I’m a dedicated student of the game. Through science-based canine behavior training, local volunteer work with APS of Durham, and hands-on experience, I’m equipped to handle a wide spectrum of personalities and behavioral challenges. And if I run into a unique puzzle? I don't guess. I research until I find a science-backed solution.
Zero Disruption
Routine is everything for a calm pet. Whether it’s serving breakfast at 7:00 AM sharp, mealtime in separate rooms, or setting up a post-walk Kong in their crate, I capture every single quirk in my detailed notes. My goal is to step in so seamlessly that your pet’s routine stays intact, your house stays pristine, and your stress stays at zero — complete with real-time notes and photos every visit.
