HAVE YOU CONSIDERED PET SITTER SERVICES FOR YOUR
POOCH?

• Gone are the days when boarding kennels were the
  only places that you could safely leave your pet
  while youre away, or friends and family were the
  only people you could find to look after your dog
  in your absence. Nowadays, professional pet
  sitters have grown in popularity and there are
  many of them offering their services all over the
  country.
• If youre planning to be out of town for any
  length of time, have you considered using a pet
  sitting service for your beloved pooch? If not,
  perhaps you should

• What do pet sitters do?
• Pet sitters will either move into your home to
  take care of your pet(s) while youre away, or
  will visit once, twice or multiple times a day to
  feed them, walk them if necessary and generally
  provide them with human company. Depending upon
  your needs, some pet sitters may perform basic
  household chores for you such as picking up the
  post, taking out the trash etc, and this is
  especially the case if the individual is also
  house-sitting for you.
• The main responsibilities of a pet sitter should
  include feeding your pet, exercising them
  (ensuring that they have ample opportunity to
  relieve themselves at least twice a day),
  changing litter trays and monitoring them for
  signs of ill health or injury.

• What do you need to supply your pet sitter with?
• You must ensure that you leave enough food for
  the number of pets that you have, enough
  toileting materials, contact details of your
  preferred veterinarian in the case of an
  emergency, and details of any medical or
  behavioural issues that your pet may have. If
  your pet is on any kind of medication or
  supplements, you must leave detailed instructions
  for the sitter, and be sure to inform them
  verbally of the same not doing so may lead to
  your pet sitter endangering themselves, or your
  animal becoming sick.

• Should you invite your pet sitter for a trial
  run?
• Trial runs may not be an option for all pet
  sitting services, however, if the service youre
  planning to use is registered and fully
  professional, then you should be able to read
  reviews from other customers and be able to rely
  on their professionalism when dealing with your
  pet and your home.

• How will I know my pet is safe with a pet sitter?
• Once your chosen pet sitter service has been
  assigned and formalized and you have left the
  home, you will usually receive regular updates
  from the sitter as to the health and well being
  of your pet(s), and of course you will be able to
  contact the sitter as often as you like (provided
  its within reason, calling every day after 9 pm
  to find out if Fido went for his evening poop,
  may not be acceptable!). You may decide upon the
  type of correspondence, whether it be by text
  message or email and agree that phone calls
  should be reserved for emergencies only.

• Its widely accepted that pet sitter services
  offer you greater peace of mind than boarding
  kennels, since your pet(s) are under the
  supervision of an individual and are assured to
  get daily exercise and positive human interaction
  on a regular basis.
