Why Use a Pet Sitting Service?

When you are away, it is important to have someone available to watch after pets. While it is always possible that a family member or  neighbor may be able to help, there are risks to doing this. Many people are not aware of the hazards that everyday foods, etc, pose to cats and dogs. With birds, these risks are even greater as many foods, chemicals (even a scented candle or other everyday items), ceiling fans, and even the normal bacteria found on cats and other animals can be toxic to our feathered friends. We offer services designed to provide flexibility, safety and peace of mind while you are away or otherwise unable to provide care.
 
Is it better to board my pet or have a pet sitter come into my home?

With a pet sitter, your pets will remain in your home and in familiar surroundings. There is also much less risk of disease transmission versus boarding and no strain resulting from travel. Plus, someone will check on your home to provide a lived-in appearance, provide plant watering and other services. Finally, having a pet siter come to your home is often less expensive, especially if you have multiple pets!

• "We really appreciated your help and the place looked great!"
• "Everything looked great when I got home. [My cat] was in great shape. He usually sits on my chest and purrs all night when I get home (meaning I don't get any sleep). He was happy to see me, but not starved for attention. I got a great night's sleep."
