F.Y.I.
A pet sitting service is basically a service you need when you leave your home and would like someone to care for your pet. If you either travel on business, go on vacation, or just want to get away for the weekend you could benefit greatly by using a reputable pet sitting service. The most important thing to consider is to hire a reliable and trusted pet sitter. Keep in mind that this person will be watching your pet and coming inside your home. The pet sitter has to be someone you trust. A good way to hire a pet sitter is to firstly, inquire through your local veterinarian, trainer, groomer, or a friend that has used a pet sitting service. Secondly, have an initial meeting to feel if it will be a good match for you and your pet. Finally, you must ask for references, find out if this pet sitter has a proven record of caring and reliable service. You should hire a pet sitter like you would hire a baby sitter with all the same considerations. If you are hiring a pet sitter through the internet, do your homework, don't be lured by low prices or anything of that nature. What are Pet Sitters?Pet sitters do much more than provide just food and water. A good pet sitter will give your pet personalized love, attention, and exercise while the you are away. The pet sitter will maintain your pet's routine. A pet sitter will provide security and comfort, thus soothing the nerves of an anxious pet. The pet remains in a secure environment where all the sights, smells, and sounds are familiar. A pet sitter can recognize when a pet needs medical care and can provide special attention to your pet. A pet sitter can provide medications for a sick, injured, or senior pet. Also, by remaining at home your pet avoids exposure to other animals (i.e. illness or parasites). You no longer have to impose on a friend, neighbor, or relative who may forget to care for your pet. Also, you won't be inconvenienced or upset by transporting your pet. A secondary benefit of using a pet sitter is that they provide home security while you are away. Your home is made more secure due to crime deterrent measures provided by the service. Good luck and I hope you find the right pet sitter for you and your pet(s). Feel free to contact me through my website or give me a call. Sincerely, Edward W. Macomber (Owner) | |||||||||||
