Why Use a Pet Sitter


Do you consider your old dog as another member of your family? Do you have to rely on friends or family when you travel or work long hours? It may be time to consider all the benefits that a professional pet sitter can provide you and your dog.



Benefits for your dog
  Reduced Stress - Keeping the daily routine as consistent as possible will help reduce the stress dogs normally experiences when they know you are leaving. With a pet sitter your dog can eat, sleep, and exercise in the areas that are the most familiar to him.

  Prevent Illness - Health concerns are always a worry when you have to leave your dog with someone else. At home with a pet sitter your pet is not exposed to other animals that may be ill or carriers of parasites.  
  
  Tender Loving Care - All dogs love individual attention. A pet sitter will provide this and more. Dogs can become spoiled with all the personal attention and will attempt to keep this going when the owner's return.

  Transportation - For senior dogs being crated up and moved to the relatives or a kennel can be traumatic. Since a pet sitter either stays at your home or visits your dog  periodically, this stress can be eliminated.

Benefits to your family
 
Security - A pet sitter can provide many benefits as a house sitter such as picking up the mail, watering the plants, and turning lights on and off at various times.

 
Peace of Mind - A professional pet sitter cares about your senior dog when you can't. Your pet receives individual attention, with walks and playtime so you can travel without worries.

Not just for vacations
 A pet sitting service can be invaluable for the busy family with a senior dog even when you are not traveling.

  Scheduled Walks - During the day senior dogs need a break. Many people can't get free from work so a pet sitter can be arranged to get your dog out for his afternoon walk.

  Appointments - Some pet sitters may provide a "doggie taxi" service to help keep your dog's appointment with the groomer or Vet  without you losing a day's pay.

  Unexpected Events - What if you're injured or sick? A pet sitter can check on your dog or provide a daily walk until you are back on your feet.
