Calling All Dogs & Cats

Calling All Dogs & Cats is a Tampa, FL pet care company that offers cage-free overnight care through Doggy Sleepovers at a sitter's home. It also offers overnight sitting in the owner's own house. For owners comparing dog boarding in Tampa, the main difference is the setting: dogs stay in a home instead of a kennel.

What services does Calling All Dogs & Cats offer?

The company covers more than overnight stays. Its main services include:

• Doggy Sleepovers at a sitter's home (kennel-free overnight boarding)
• Overnight pet sitting in the client's own home
• Daily dog walking and exercise
• Cat, bird, and exotic pet sitting
• Pet taxi and supply shopping

It can also give medication, and it offers pickup and drop-off.

How is in-home boarding different here?

The whole approach is built around homes rather than a facility. A dog on a sleepover spends the night at a sitter's place instead of in a kennel. Households with several kinds of pets can keep everyone at home with an overnight sitter.

The company also uses technology to keep owners informed. Visits are GPS-tracked and time-stamped, and owners get photos and notes after each one. Scheduling and invoicing run through an online app, so bookings and bills stay in one place.
