stays in

Keeps to home

Stays in means to remain at home rather than going out: I'm exhausted—I think I'll just stay in tonight.

The phrase often implies a deliberate choice of rest or solitude over social activity.

It can also mean to remain inside a boundary or container: Make sure the dog stays in the yard.
