Frequently Asked Questions


Why hire a professional pet sitter?

Involved pet owners know that most pets adjust better to their owner’s absence and experience less anxiety and stress when they can remain in their home environment. Pet sitters make this possible with daily visits to your home. In addition to meals, exercise, playtime, and cleaning litter boxes or cages, professional pet sitters may also administer medications, walk dogs, and perform other pet-care duties. In-home pet care has become the first choice of pet owners and the “pet-preferred” method of vacation and travel care. Pet sitters may also provide vital home-care services while you are away, including mail or newspaper pick up, placing trash outside for pickup or altering the lights and blinds as a crime deterrent. Professional pet sitters are just what the description implies – professional. While having friends, family, or neighbors care for your pets may seem like a logical choice, professional pet sitters do this for a living and have the experience necessary to care for your animals. We reliably enter your home while you are away and since this is our job, you can count on us to be there.
