Overnight Services · Nokomis & North Venice
Your dog never has
to sleep alone.
Not even one night.
Some dogs don't do well alone overnight. Vanda stays in your home so your dog sleeps in their own bed, in their own space, with a familiar face there when they wake up. No kennels. No crates. No anxiety.
Every overnight stay includes
- Vanda stays in your home overnight
- Evening and morning walks on your schedule
- Feeding and fresh water morning and evening
- Medication administration if needed
- Your home secured and looked after
- Morning update so you wake up knowing all is well

What's Included
Every night covered.
Every morning too.
Overnight care is the most comprehensive service we offer. Vanda stays in your home from evening through morning — your dog gets their evening walk, their dinner, their bedtime routine, and their morning walk without a single thing changing.
For dogs who struggle with being alone overnight, this is transformative. No howling, no anxiety, no destruction. Just a dog who went to sleep and woke up with someone there — exactly as they expected.
You leave for your trip and come back to a dog who barely knew you were gone. That's what overnight care is for.

A typical overnight stay
Late Afternoon
Vanda Arrives
Settles in, checks on your dog, does a walk or potty break to start the evening routine.
Evening
Dinner & Wind Down
Feeding on your exact schedule. Medication if needed. Quiet time, companionship, whatever your dog's evening routine looks like.
Night
Last Walk & Bedtime
A final walk or potty break before bed. Your dog settles in as normal — same bed, same spot, same routine.
Morning
Morning Walk & Breakfast
Up and out on your dog's usual morning schedule. Breakfast, fresh water, and a full morning update sent to you.
Your Morning
You Wake Up to Good News
A photo and update waiting for you. Your dog is fine. Your home is fine. You can enjoy your trip.
Your Home Too
An occupied home is
a safer home.
When Vanda stays overnight your home looks and feels occupied — lights on, routines normal, someone actually there. That's good for your dog and good for your home security while you're away.
- Lights managed naturally morning and evening
- Mail and packages brought inside
- Doors locked and checked every night
- Any concerns reported to you immediately
- Vet contact details on file for emergencies
- Secure key handling throughout the stay
Who It's For
For dogs who need someone there overnight.
Anxious Dogs
Some dogs genuinely cannot cope with being alone overnight. The anxiety is real and the consequences — howling, destruction, health issues — are real too. Overnight care solves this completely.
Senior Dogs
Older dogs often need a bathroom break during the night. They shouldn't have to wait until morning and they shouldn't have to be alone if they feel unwell. Overnight care means someone is always there.
Dogs with Medical Needs
If your dog needs medication at specific times including overnight, or needs monitoring for a health condition, Vanda stays through the night so nothing gets missed.
Longer Trips
Going away for more than a day or two? Daytime visits work for some dogs but for longer absences overnight care keeps your dog's world completely intact from morning to night.
Young Puppies
Puppies under six months really shouldn't spend nights alone. They need bathroom breaks, reassurance, and consistency. Overnight care bridges the gap while they grow and mature.
Post-Surgery Recovery
A dog recovering from surgery needs careful monitoring around the clock. Overnight care means someone is there if your dog is in discomfort, needs help, or needs an emergency vet call.
