Vacations: Should I use a neighbor or a professional pet sitter to watch my pets?

It's not unusual for us to get a call from a frantic pet owner that their neighbor or relative backed out of watching their pet at the last minute. That's why it's always good to use a professional pet sitter from the start. You can rest assured that your pet will be well taken care of  on time as well as your house being secure. When you come home your house will be exactly the way you left it. The the mail and papers will be in, doors will always be locked and the alarm set every day you are gone.

INSURANCE AND BONDING:For YOUR peace of mind, a professional pet sitting service should be Insured and Bonded. This protects everyone if an issue arises.

PROFESSIONAL PET SITTER = YOUR PET IS THEIR NUMBER 1 PRIORITY:  A professional has committed to making pet care their full-time job and it isn’t just a hobby to them or something they do on the side for a little fun money. They are passionate about giving your pet the very best care possible.

PROFESSIONALS HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND ARE ALWAYS ON THE LOOK OUT FOR SIGNS OF ILLNESS IN YOUR PET:  Professional pet sitters care for all different types of pets daily and know what signs to look for if  a pet were sick. They also have a plan in place, in case of an emergency and can transport your pet to the Veterinarian if necessary.

PROFESSIONALS ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP SITTER AVAILABLE: In the event that your primary pet sitter is unable to do your pet visits, a professional service ALWAYS has backup sitters on call to care for your pets in these situations.

PROFESSIONAL PET SITTERS CAN ADMINISTER MEDICATION: Professional pet sitters have experience administering pills, giving insulin shots to diabetic pets.

PROFESSIONALS  KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY WALK A DOG ON A LEASH: Some dogs are difficult to walk, but professional dog walkers know how to handle them.
