Benefits of pet sitting
as opposed to dog home boarding or kennels and catteries
Wondering
why at home pet sitting is a better option to consider as opposed to putting
your pets in kennels or catteries or dog home boarding? Here are some reasons:
Less stress
Taking your
furry friend to somewhere new is likely going to stress your pets since they’re
not used to the environment. Pets can get accustomed to being at home and that
includes sights, sounds and smells such that leaving an environment they’ve
always known can make them anxious. Choosing
at-home pet sitting for your pets makes it easy for them to feel safe and
secure even when you’re out of town.
No extra travel for you
If you
decide to take your furry friends to a dog home boarder, kennel or cattery, it
means you have to drop your pets off and pick them up again when you return.
The extra travel can cause a lot of stress and loss of valuable time you could
have spent doing other things. When you choose
pet sitting, you don’t have to worry about taking them to the dog home boarder,
kennel or cattery or picking them up again when you’re back in town.
No travel trauma for your pets
Some pets
dislike travelling regardless of how comfortable you try to make the trip for them. Hiring a pet sitter to stay with your pets can
be less stressful for them than travelling with them.
Pet sitting experience and insurance
Hiring a pet
sitter means you’re requesting the services of a professional who has vast experience with pets and is fully insured.
What this means is that you can rest knowing that your pets are in the care of
someone who is a huge animal lover and would know what to do in the event of an
emergency.
Additional services/Security for your
home
Apart from
caring for your pets, pet sitters can help keep the house clean, water the
plants, bring in the mail and newspapers, and put out recycle bins, all giving
your home that lived-in look.
Health concerns
When pets are
in a group setting like a cattery or a kennels, your pets are at risk of coming
home with an illness they contracted from other pets. That could result in pains for your furry
friend and a visit to the vet which may cost a lot. On the other hand, your pets
are less likely to fall ill when being cared for in their own home and even if
they do, you can rest assured that they will receive personalised care from the
pet sitter.
Personalised care
Pets in a kennel
or cattery don’t always receive personalised care and this might negatively affect
your pets but a pet sitter who stays with your pets can care for your pet exactly
as per your instructions, leaving you with no doubt that your pets are in safe
hands. You will receive daily feedback
emails with photographs of how your pets are doing for your peace of mind so
you can relax and enjoy your holiday, worry free.
