Let's Find Your Perfect Match

Every household is different, and so is every pet. Drop us your details and a Lapdog coordinator will reach out for a quick chat — we'll learn about your pets' personalities, any health considerations, and your ideal schedule before pairing you with the right Vet Nurse Sitter.

Every sitter passes a personal interview, reference check, and credential review conducted by our founding team.

What Sets Us Apart

The standard we hold every sitter to.

No freelancers. No side hustles. Every Lapdog sitter is a working veterinary professional — so your pet gets the same quality of care they'd receive at the clinic.

Personally Screened

No algorithms, no self-sign-ups. Every sitter is interviewed face-to-face, reference-checked and credential-verified before they ever step into your home.

Provider-Level Know-How

From medication administration to post-op monitoring and anxiety management — your sitter brings the same clinical skill set they use on the job.

Transparent from Day One

Real-time photo updates, routine logs and direct messaging so you're never left guessing. Your sitter keeps you in the loop, every step of the way.
