Q. Why In Home Pet Sitting is becoming more Popular?

There are no worries of pets being exposed to illness and parasites like they could be at a boarding facility with multiple dogs.

Q. Why does Pet Sitting seem so expensive?
A. Most compare pet sitting rates to that of the rates for baby sitting or house sitting, or even the next door neighbor or boarding facility rates. There is HUGE difference between a professional pet sitter, and those doing you a favor to watch your home or pets. A Professional Pet Sitter, you are paying not just their time, but their knowledge and experience as well. In addition if you have multiple pets, professional pet sitting is more affordable, then say boarding. Plus most professional pet sitters offer extra complimentary home care such as watering plants, getting mail/packages, and more than if your pets are simply boarded.

Professional pet sitting is not an economy option as many professionals understand, and may not be in everyones budget. However it does offer peace of mind, and convenient to have an experienced, and insured, pet first AID + CPR responsible, trusted, reliable, and dedicated individual. Professional pet sitters are your eyes and ears at your home while you are away, as well as helping to prevent emergency situations that could arise.
