Overnight Pet primarily involves caring for pets overnight in their owners' homes, focusing on feeding, companionship, and safety. Overnight Dog Walker specializes in walking and exercising dogs during overnight hours, often in outdoor or public settings. While both roles require pet care knowledge and certifications, Overnight Pet emphasizes in-home care, whereas Overnight Dog Walker centers on outdoor activity and exercise. Understanding these differences helps pet owners and job seekers find the right position or service for their needs.

What challenges might I face working as an overnight pet sitter, and how can I prepare for them?

As an Overnight Pet Sitter, you may encounter challenges such as managing pets with special needs, handling emergencies during odd hours, and adapting to different home environments. Success in this role often requires strong communication with pet owners, a calm approach to unexpected situations, and the ability to stick to the pet's established routine. Being prepared with basic pet first aid knowledge and clear instructions from owners can help ensure both the pets' well-being and your peace of mind throughout your shift.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an overnight pet sitter?

To thrive as an Overnight Pet Sitter, you need a genuine love for animals, basic knowledge of pet care, and experience or training in handling different breeds and behaviors. Familiarity with pet monitoring apps, basic first aid, and sometimes certification in pet CPR are often required. Reliability, strong communication, and problem-solving skills make someone stand out in this position. These skills ensure pets' safety and well-being, provide peace of mind for owners, and help manage unexpected situations during overnight stays.

What is an overnight pet sitter?

Overnight pet sitters are professionals who stay in a pet owner's home or occasionally host pets in their own home to provide care for pets throughout the night. Their responsibilities typically include feeding, walking, administering medication if needed, and offering companionship to pets while their owners are away. This service helps reduce pets' stress by allowing them to stay in a familiar environment and receive personalized attention. Overnight pet sitters may also handle light household tasks, such as bringing in mail or watering plants, as part of their duties.

Job Description
We are currently hiring for Overnight House-Sitter/Pet-Sitters. **We are especially interested in House-sitters available during our busiest time of year -- winter holiday break -- sometime between 12/23-1/2.
This position requires OVERNIGHT STAYS (sleeping over in a client's home) with the client's animals. Each overnight stay begins from the dinner period (arrival between 5-7pm) and continues until the morning period (departure between 7-9am). Please note: House-sitters are NOT able to bring guests with them into the client's home during their stay.
House-sitting includes:
  • walking the dog(s)
  • feedings
  • medications if necessary
  • maintaining each animal's routine.
  • House-sitting may also include other pet-sitting or vacation care tasks such as bringing in the mail/newspaper, plant care, cleaning up messes (ie: hairballs, accidents), and keeping the home in order while the clients are away.

Fees
The base rate paid to a house-sitter for each night of house-sitting is $32.50 for one dog and goes up from there depending on client surcharges. There are extra fees given to the house-sitter for additional animals in the home, extra visits scheduled during the daytime, and for holidays. (Potential gratuity from clients is not reflected in this rate.)
Scheduling
House-sitting jobs last anywhere from 1 night to 2 weeks. House-sitters typically will take one booking per month. They may take on more bookings depending on their availability and client requests.
House-sitters are independent contractors with Heaven Sent and are offered client "bookings" as clients schedule vacation care with us. House-sitters work on an "as-needed" basis and accept or reject each booking on an individual basis.
HolidaysOur preference is that house-sitters are available for at least 2 out of 3 of our busiest holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Years, Spring Break). There is an extra surcharge paid to sitters for holiday work.
Qualifications
Qualifications
  • Background & References: You need to be at least 21 years old, able to pass a background/criminal check, and have at least 3 references.
  • Supplies & Equipment: You need to have: (1) a reliable car, (2) a computer/laptop/tablet with access to the internet, (3) a printer or access to one (4) a smartphone
  • Location: We are most interested in candidates who live in or around our service areas in Evanston, Wilmette, or Kenilworth.
  • And of course, we expect that you love animals! Working with animals can be an extremely rewarding and fun job and we are looking for candidates whose priority is providing quality care to our furry clients and their owners. You don't have to have any professional animal work experience, but we find it helpful if you've had pets of your own before.

Is this a good fit for you? We are looking for candidates who:
  • Are organized and detail-oriented.
  • Are dependable, trustworthy, timely, and professional.
  • Have great customer service and communication skills.
  • Are team players who can handle last-minute changes and requests from clients.

  • Can make at least a 6-month commitment to working with us. We view this position as long-term supplemental income, not temporary or seasonal.

Additional Information
We look forward to hearing from you!
