FAQ

​

What are the advantages of pet sitting (over other pet-care options)?

• Pets are happier and experience less stress at home in their familiar environment.

• Diet and exercise routines are uninterrupted.

• Travel trauma for both owner and pet is eliminated.

• Pet's exposure to illness is minimized. Occasionally, extenuating circumstances (i.e., a pet with special health issues or severe separation anxiety or repairs taking place in the pet’s home) warrants a pet sitter caring for a client’s pet in his or her own home.

 

What does a pet sitter do?

As the definition above indicates, pet sitters care for clients’ pets in the clients’ home. Pet owners often use pet sitters when they go on a vacation, travel for business, work long hours or when they are too sick or injured to care for their pet(s).

Pet sitters often offer more than one pet-sitting visit per day, and offer overnight stays as well.

During the pet sitting visits, pet sitters perform a variety of tasks, including:

• Feeding the pets and refreshing water

• Providing exercise and play time (may include walking the dog)

• Cleaning litter boxes and cleaning up any other pet messes

• Administering pet medications, if needed

• Providing lots of TLC! 

Pet sitters also often bring in mail or newspapers and alternate blinds and lights to give the home a “lived-in look” if the owners are away. Pet sitters may also perform other tasks as requested by the pet owners.

​

Can my friend bring their dog to my house and you can sit them both here?

   I would not recommend it. The animals do best in their own home, with familiar surroundings and routine.

​

My friend can take care of my pets in the morning can you feed them in the pm?

​

I do not offer job sharing. The liability is to high and I want to make sure your pets are getting consistent, top of the line animal care.

​

My neighbor and I share a fence and are traveling together can you feed her animals when you feed mine?

I am happy to do adjacent homes and will consider them as two separate families/properties so they will each have their own contract and billing.
