Why Hire a Pet Sitter?
If you have never used a pet sitter, then now is the time to treat yourself and your pet to the benefits of working with pet sitter. After all, having a pet sitter is significantly better than putting them in a kennel or boarding home. Curious about the benefits for you and your pets? Consider these:
Pets:
• No trauma due to travel or a strange environment
• Being around familiar sights, smells, and sounds
• Not being exposed to other animals or illnesses
• Having their own routine and standard times for meals
• Able to have someone on hand in the event of a medical emergency or to administer medicine as needed.
• Having someone around to play with your pet and see that they get enough exercise
• Professional sitters provide one on one care for pet
For the Pet Parent
• Not all pet sitters are created equal; when you chose a pet-sitter be sure you select one that makes you and your pet feel comfortable.
• Your home will be more secure because there are people in and out of it, thus showing signs of life.
• You can be sure that your pet will be well groomed while you are gone.
• Not needing to ask friends, family or neighbors to come over and take care of your pet(s).
How to Choose a Pet Sitter
When you decide to hire a pet sitter, take a few minutes to ask a few questions. These questions should be –
• Do they have written proof of their qualifications?
• Will they take notes about your pet’s behavior and eating habits while you are gone?
• Is it clearly stated what is expected of the sitter?
• Has the pet sitter taken classes to ensure they know about pets and their needs?
• Will the sitter provide you with phone numbers of other clients who have agreed to serve as references?
These are important questions to ask of a potential sitter. The team here at Sleep Eaz is happy to answer these, and any other questions you may have, so please don’t hesitate to ask.
