Why hire a professional petsitter?
This is a valid question. Why not just ask your neighbor, relatives, or a neighborhood teenager to help out? Well, many reasons, actually. All these people may be busy with other commitments and may not feel your pets are high-priority. They may lack experience in caring for different kinds of animals with different needs. No judgment here- we all have responsibilities and asking someone to help with pet care while you're gone or busy is asking a lot of them. What if your pet gets sick overnight, or slips their collar while out for a walk? What if there's a fight with resulting injuries and a possible vet visit? These things do happen, and they're not uncommon. There are so many scenarios where it would be better to have a professional on the job.
1. A professional petsitter has training and experience working with all types of pet personalities and can offer customized care according to what each pet needs and wants (and doesn't want!) based on their fears, habits, and preferences.
2. A professional petsitter has dedicated her schedule to visiting and caring for your pet within a reasonable window of time.
3. There is reduced risk of illness when your pets stay in their own home as opposed to staying at a boarding facility. Even the cleanest facilities cannot 100% eliminate pathogens.
4. Your animals will experience less stress being at home and keeping routine changes to a minimum increases their sense of wellbeing.
5. Reliable communication from your petsitter is a blessing and can put your mind at ease when you're far from home and missing your babies. We offer updates and photos of how their day is going and how they're feeling. Even if you're not vacationing, and just working long hours, a text update with a fun photo of your pet will brighten your day.
6. A professional petsitter can take care of your house too. We offer other basic services such as bringing in mail, rotating lights/shades, and taking out trash. All these small tasks act as a theft deterrent as well, adding peace of mind. Be sure to ask if a service is included.
7. A professional petsitter will be insured.
8. A professional petsitter has dedicated her time and energy to her business, and fostering relationships with clients and their pets is her priority.
9. A professional petsitter will pursue additional education and certifications to expand her skillset and expertise.
