A homer is a small-breed dog (or sometimes another small pet) that stays in a sitter's own home while you are away - not in a kennel run. It suits sociable animals that cope well in a home environment and gets them company day and night.
Cage-free comfort
Your pet is treated as a guest: walks, meals, and sofa time depend on what you and the sitter agree. There are no industrial kennel hours or shared airspace with dozens of strange dogs.
Small breeds
Homer spots are limited and usually reserved for smaller dogs that travel easily and settle indoors. If you are unsure, ask - we will be honest if live-in or daily visits suit your pet better.
Why owners choose it
Personal attention, a quiet household, and continuity with one caregiver. Many dogs that dislike kennels thrive in a homer setup once matched with the right person.
How matching works
We introduce you and your pet to the sitter before the stay. No booking goes ahead without that meeting - the same rule as all 4 Paws services.
