Why Use A Pet Sitter?
There are many reasons people like the idea of a professional Pet Sitter. Here are just a few:
One on one care by a professional Pet Sitter has been proven to make for happier pets! It is very stressful for pets to be away from their familiar surroundings. By having a sitter visit in your home, your pet won't be subjected to the noise, small confinement, possible illness and fleas that may be found in a kennel.
With a sitter visiting, your pet is safe at home and your home is safer. We care for your pets and also take in the mail, newspapers, water plants, turn the lights on and off and more. This helps to deter anyone who may try to break in as your home looks lived in... And don't forget the barking dog or cat in the window. A burglar may think twice!
If you're not comfortable with the idea of having a sitter visit your home while you're away, you also have the option of "sleepovers" for your pet at the sitter's home*. With a "sleepover", pets are in a home environment, are fed the food / vitamin supplements / medication you supply so their diet and routine will not change.
A "sleepover" is like a vacation for your pets as they can play with other pets, run around in the yard, or laze about inside.
Kennels and veterinary offices charge per day AND per pet. In many cases it works out being less of an expense to use a professional Pet Sitter, and you get MORE for your money, including peace of mind.
So many times, people pass up vacations or a late night out because there is no one who can care for their pets. Isn't it a nice thing to be able to go away knowing your pets will be loved and cared for the same way you love and care for them?
