Drop-In Pet Visits
What Are Drop-In Pet Visits?
A drop-in pet visit is exactly what the name suggests — we visit your home at an agreed time to care for your pet. Unlike a full dog walk that takes your dog out for exercise, a drop-in visit focuses on in-home care: feeding, fresh water, playtime, toilet breaks in your garden, medication administration, and plenty of companionship. It is the perfect solution for days when your dog does not need a full walk but still needs attention and care.
Drop-in visits are one of the most versatile services we offer. They work brilliantly for puppies who need frequent toilet breaks while you're at work. They support dogs recovering from surgery or illness who need gentle care but not strenuous exercise. They provide companionship for older dogs who may struggle with long walks but still crave human company. And for owners who work long shifts, a midday drop-in visit breaks up the day for their dog and provides reassurance that all is well at home.
But drop-in visits are not just for dogs. We also care for cats, small animals, and other pets who need attention while their owners are away. From feeding your cat while you're at the office to checking on your rabbit while you're on holiday, our drop-in service is flexible enough to meet a wide range of pet care needs across Warwick and the surrounding areas.
Every drop-in visit is tailored to your instructions. We follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible — the same feeding times, the same food, the same play routines. Consistency is important for pets, and we pride ourselves on maintaining your pet's normal schedule so they feel secure and settled even when you're not there. We also provide updates after each visit so you always know what's happened and how your pet is doing.
Drop-in visits are fully insured, reliable, and available on a regular schedule or an ad-hoc basis. Whether you need a one-off visit because of a late meeting, or daily visits while you're on holiday, we can accommodate your needs.
What's Included
Everything Included in a Drop-In Visit
Playtime & Companionship
Your dog or pet gets dedicated attention and playtime during every visit. Whether that's fetch in the garden, tug-of-war in the living room, or gentle strokes for a nervous cat, we follow your pet's lead.
Toilet Breaks
We let your dog out into your garden for toilet breaks and clean up after them. For puppies in training, we follow your established routine to support their house-training progress.
Medication Administration
We are experienced in giving oral medication, topical treatments, and following veterinary care plans. Simply provide clear instructions and any medication when we arrive, and we'll take care of the rest.
Peace of Mind Updates
After every visit we let you know how your pet is doing. Whether it's a quick message confirming they've eaten well or a photo of a happy, relaxed dog, you'll always be in the loop.
Home Security Checks
As part of every drop-in visit, we ensure your home is secure — doors locked, windows closed, and everything as it should be. An extra layer of reassurance while you're away.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Drop-In Pet Visits
What is included in a drop-in pet visit?
Every visit is tailored to your pet's needs but typically includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, toilet breaks, medication (if needed), companionship, and a home security check. We follow your instructions exactly — portion sizes, feeding times, play preferences, and any specific routines your pet is used to. Consistency is important for pets, and we pride ourselves on maintaining your pet's normal schedule so they feel secure and settled even when you are not there. We also send you a quick update after each visit with a summary of what happened and how your pet is doing, so you always have peace of mind.
How long does a drop-in visit last?
We offer 20-minute and 30-minute standard visits. Extended visits can be arranged for pets with additional needs. The right duration depends on your pet's requirements — a quick 20-minute visit is perfect for a toilet break, feed and check-in, while a 30-minute visit allows more time for play, cuddles and company. If your pet needs medication or extra attention, we may recommend a longer visit. We will discuss what works best for you during the booking process and can adjust the duration as your pet's needs change over time.
Can you administer medication during a visit?
Yes. We are experienced in administering oral medications, topical treatments, and following veterinary care instructions. Just let us know what your pet needs and provide clear guidance — we will keep a record of dosage times and amounts and follow your instructions precisely. If your pet is on a course of treatment, we can coordinate with your vet to ensure everything runs smoothly. We understand that giving medication can be stressful for pets, so we take a gentle, patient approach to make the experience as calm as possible.
What's the difference between a drop-in visit and a dog walk?
A dog walk takes your dog out for exercise away from home — typically a solo or group walk through local parks, fields and countryside for 30 to 60 minutes. A drop-in visit focuses on in-home care — feeding, play, toilet breaks in your garden, medication and companionship. Both are valuable but serve different needs. Some clients combine both services depending on the day: a morning dog walk for exercise followed by a midday drop-in for a toilet break and company while you are at work.
Do you visit other pets besides dogs?
Absolutely. We care for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds and other small animals. Whatever your pet, we will provide the same dedicated, loving care tailored to their specific needs. For cats, we can provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime and companionship. For small animals, we follow your care instructions for feeding, cleaning and handling. Let us know what you need and we will tailor the visit accordingly — every pet deserves the best care when their owner is away.
