Advantages of Hiring a Pet Sitter
For pet owners, in-home pet sitting provides a unique alternative to boarding facilities or relying on family or neighbors to check on pets. Pet sitters come to the home daily and pets are able to keep their regular routines for meals, walks, medication and one-on-one care and attention. Many pet sitters offer the option of daily pet visits and/or overnight pet care, depending on the owner’s specific needs. Owners report that their pets experience less stress and adjust better to their owners’ absence when the pets remain in their normal environment.
For the pet benefits include:
- Staying at home in his/her safe, secure environment
- Being surrounded by familiar sights, smells and sounds
- Following his/her regular diet and exercise routine
- Having play time
- Receiving love and personal attention
- Maintaining medical treatment, when required
- Having someone responsible in case of an emergency with the pet or home
- Eliminating the trauma of travel or an unfamiliar environment
- Ensuring good health (no exposure to other animals’ illness or parasites)

I used to be that person. A high stress job that I loathed, fluorescent lights, dealing with people that were less than savory, all for the golden paycheck. (more…)
