A Tale of Puppies and Kitties: Getting the Right Pet Sitter

A hard worker like you deserves a break every now and then. I'm not just talking about a weekend at the spa or a night off from work. You deserve to go on a real vacation—take a week off to relax and detoxify your mind and body. Any average Joe or Jane might already be packing upon reading my persuasive words, however if you're a pet owner, you may respond with a defeated shrug of your shoulders and a sigh thinking "I wish! But I can't bring my dog along with me without getting stressed out looking after him!" Well then, that dilemma of yours is precisely why I've penned this article. I'm here to offer you a solution in the form of Pet Sitting.

If you can't get a trusted friend or family member to look after your beloved pooch or cat, it's worth considering professional service. But if you're like me, your pet is as important to you as a child to his mother. I own a Siberian husky myself and I can't seem to leave him with just anyone and go on a trip with peace of mind. I simply need to make sure the person who looks after him is capable, loving, and responsible. Calling for a pet sitter may be as simple as looking up a number and calling for one, but also it's not as simple as that. There are some things to bear in mind when hiring a pet sitter.

Comfort and Ease

Some people will opt to just leave their pets in an animal boarding house (not quite as posh as animal hotels) or kennels. But that kind of set up brings so much stress to the animals themselves and there's really no guarantee how much care your pet will get. If you call for a pet sitter, they can come to your home and look after your beloved critter in the comfort of your own home. Most animals, especially cats and dogs, work and depend heavily with their sense of smell. Each new place brings a bombardment of new and different smells. They will need time to scour about and get used to the smell of the place. This may sometimes bring stress on them.

Because your pet gets looked after in the environment he's used to, he can also be fed on the usual time and schedule he's used to. He also gets the right amount of attention on a daily basis.

With your pet sitter coming to make house calls, you can now enjoy your trip with peace of mind knowing that your pet is not stressed out or being neglected. You also save yourself the trouble of burdening your friends and family with having to look after your pet. Another advantage to having someone come in to look after your pet is that it will make your house look "lived in." They can pick up your daily paper, water your plants, turn on the lights at night, and make sure the windows and doors are locked when they leave. This can help serve as a deterrent to break-ins and burglary. They can also make sure that your pet stays well-groomed as they have the bathing and grooming necessities within reach in your home.

Make sure that you contact a legitimate pet sitting company with experience and good references.
