Dog Drop-In Visits: Why They’re a Game-Changer for Busy Owners
Life gets busy, and as much as we’d love to spend every moment with our furry companions, sometimes work, social events, or unexpected plans pull us away. Enter dog drop-ins —the perfect way to keep your pup happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re out and about!
At Sit & Stay Godalming, we know that every dog is different, and that’s why our drop-in visits are tailored to meet their individual needs. If it’s a quick toilet break they need, a cuddle session, or a playtime boost, we’re here to give your pup the love and attention they deserve!
What Happens During a Dog Drop-In Visit?
Every visit is unique, just like your dog! Here’s what a typical drop-in visit with Sit & Stay Godalming includes:
Toilet Breaks – A much-needed garden visit to prevent accidents and keep them comfortable.
Playtime & Enrichment – Whether your dog loves a game of fetch, brain games like snuffle mats, or a simple cuddle on the sofa, we make sure they get quality interaction while you're out.
Feeding & Fresh Water – If your dog needs lunch, dinner, or a top-up of fresh water, we’ve got it covered.
Medication & Special Care – If your pup needs medication, we can handle that too!
Photos & Updates for You! – You’ll get a little update (and adorable pictures!) to let you know how your pup is doing.
Each visit lasts 30 minutes or 1 hour. We are also happy to extend visits for longer periods of time.
How Drop-Ins Help with Separation Anxiety
Does your dog struggle when left alone? You're not alone—many dogs find it stressful when their humans head out for work or social events. Dog drop-ins are a great solution to help reduce anxiety and build confidence. Here’s how:
Breaking Up Long Days – Even just a short visit can make all the difference in preventing stress and destructive behaviour caused by boredom.
Providing Comfort & Routine – Dogs love consistency. Regular drop-ins create a predictable routine, making alone time less stressful.
Burning Off Energy – A mentally stimulated dog is a calmer dog. Short play sessions, training games, and enrichment during visits can help reduce nervous energy.
Helping Puppies Adjust – For puppies, alone time is a skill they need to learn. Short drop-ins help them get used to being alone and away from you in a positive way.
If your dog is showing signs of separation anxiety—like barking, pacing, or chewing - drop-in visits could be the perfect way to help ease their worries.
