what is a 30 minute check in visit?

This is mainly when the pet does not need a walk, but needs attention, play time, and/or food.

Rover's definition follows: Drop-In Visits: Sitters stop by your home a few times a day for 30 minutes each time to feed and play with your dog.

It may be an option someone would consider if they wanted care provided for their animals in their home while they were away, but didn't necessarily need or want someone staying there. It's also a good option for someone who works long hours (or has a younger, older, or medically needy pet who can't make it through a normal work day without a potty break) but doesn't require daycare. The sitter stops by, makes sure the animals have food and water, gives them a potty break, and maybe spends a little time playing with them. Drop-ins may include other duties (at the agreement of the client and sitter) such as bringing in mail, attending to other types of animals, or watering plants. In my mind, it's very similar to booking for walks (and there can be some cross over in services), but typically drop=in visits include a variety of tasks rather than just providing exercise. A sitter might offer drop-ins, but not walks, if they were less mobile themselves or didn't feel comfortable handling dogs who might pull on leashes.
