Benefits of hiring a professional pet sitter

You have your travel plans in place. The newspaper and mail have been stopped. Now, what do you do about your pets and home?
You could take your pets to a kennel, but you have to juggle drop off/pick up times with your travel itinerary. You could ask a relative or neighbor and hope they will do all that is necessary to keep your pets safe, happy, and healthy. You could hire a hobbyist or a stranger off a website and hope for the best.
Or, you could hire a professional pet sitter who will come to your home, care for your pets and home as you have instructed; the way you care for them.

A professional pet sitter will give you the peace of mind to leave your precious pets and home and know they will be cared for as you care for them.

• During the free consultation, your sitter will ask questions about feeding, medicine, and exercise schedules. In addition, the sitter will want to learn about any behavioral issues your pet may have (food or leash aggression, shy, fearful, reactivity), behavior habits, potty habits, and any other aspects that make your pet a unique being.
  
• The sitter will also provide you with the peace of mind by taking the time to answer your questions, provide you with a service contract that clearly explains the pet sitter/client relationship, and by being detailed oriented.

When boarding is preferred

Although pet sitting is a smart choice, there will be times when boarding your pet is preferred. If your pet gets destructive while you are away, then it may be better to board your pet. If your cat or dog is aggressive, boarding may be the best option. Boarding may be necessary if your dog or cat has a health or behavior concern that needs 24 hour care.
