So, why should you hire a professional pet sitter?
Although it would be great to be able to take our pets with us when we travel, there are times when that is simply not possible. Maybe a neighbor or family member could stop by and visit Fido or Fluffy. Would they be reliable? Would they know what to do if there were a medical issue? Then there is always that feeling that you are imposing on them.
There are many benefits to hiring a professional pet sitter when you have to be away:
- 1). Experienced in providing quality care for animals.
- 2). Many are trained in animal first aid, safety and CPR (your neighbor may not be).
Advantages of in home pet sitting over kenneling:
- 1). Your pet can stay in comfortable and familiar surroundings (greatly reducing anxiety)
- 2). Your pet will maintain its regular diet and exercise routine.
- 3). Your pet won’t be exposed to other animals and won’t be at risk for related injuries or sickness.
- 4). Your pet sitter can also act as a house sitter while you’re away.
A professional pet sitter should also be able to provide references and proof of insurance.
Knowing that there is a reliable and experienced person caring for your pet will give you peace of mind and be less stressful for both you and your pet!
