Sitter vs Kennel

 What are the benefits of having a pet sitter?

Some animals just don't travel well.

The time you would spend traveling to and from grooming services, bark parks, visits to the veterinarian, etc. can get done while you are away on vacation or business. With additional in-home care, other chores can be attended to while you travel.

Pets remain in their own home safe, secure, and cared for by a mature animal appreciator and advocate. 

Providing peace of mind to the pet owner, not only for the pet care, but for home security; rotating lights, mail & newspaper retrieval, trash day removal, etc.

Pets don't need to be transported to boarding facilities, no pick-up deadlines.  Especially helpful when flight schedules change.

Clients can call anytime 24/7 or get regular email/text updates for their peace of mind.

Many pets suffer some separation anxiety. Having a caring, attentive individual in their home [your pet's 'territory'] alleviates stress and avoids sometimes expensive furniture and carpet damage.

What are the Benefits for your Pets?

Pets are in familiar surroundings, sleeping in their own beds, eating in the same place from their own bowls, playing with their own toys.  Anything unfamiliar can be upsetting, especially for older pets.

Pets aren't traumatized by being uprooted and displaced with other strange animals.  Not to mention strange smells, sounds and sights. This is especially true for unsocialized, older pets, and many cats, who are not always social by nature.

Pets are fed, watered, exercised [playtime!] according to their regular schedule, including any medication or special dietary needs.

Pets are not exposed to fleas, contagious disease or illness often presented at boarding facilities. 

The best benefit in-home care can provide is lots of one-on-one attention while the owner is away, thereby easing loneliness and anxiety that a pet may feel by receiving valuable human contact.
