Dog Sitters from The Pet Nanny

Dog sitters are also known as pet carers, pet sitters, dog minders or dog walkers. Dog sitters are ideal if you are going on holiday and don’t want your dog to be taken out of its natural surroundings. Sometimes it’s necessary to leave our dogs behind and dog sitters are a wonderful alternative to kennels.
Sitting
Pet sitting has become the first choice for both pets and owners. Pet sitting includes, dog sitting, cat sitting, small animal care and, as you would have expected, dog walking. When comparing your options among other dog walkers and pet sitting services, err on the side of caution. How long have they been pet sitting and when exactly was their last job. When looking for the professional dog waking/dog sitting services, get as much information as you can about the dog sitter/walker. Make sure your dog walker is bonded and insured. Ask for a free initial consultation so that you can get to see your pet sitter interact with your pet.
Care
There are many advantages to personalized pet care. Whether vacationing or traveling on business, the decision to have someone care for the family pet should never be taken lightly. Question all potential sitters, doggie day care and other dog services about the care they provide. Ask questions, check references and always trust your own instincts when deciding who will care for your best friend.
Kennel
Boarding kennels for dogs are like hotels for humans. Dog owners temporarily place their dogs in boarding kennels when, for whatever reason, they must be away from home. Pets are far happier and healthier in their home environment, as opposed to a kennel or cattery. Your dog may be set in his ways and a lot more comfortable at home than at a kennel. If you are not around, then your dog can stay at home instead of at the boarding kennels.
Professional dog sitters are usually trained in dog first aid certification, dog husbandry classes and dog sitting accreditation. Most dog sitters are trained to handle and care for dogs so chances are they will know how to work with your dog in order to provide him the care that you are unable to do when it comes to these types of activities.
