We want to be able to depend on our friends, our family, and even our neighbors, but there is a truth that separates them from a professional pet sitter:
Your pet is a professional pet sitter’s first priority.
A professional pet sitter has an obligation to care for your pet no matter what. Here’s why:
- When you hire a professional pet sitter, you’re hiring someone who has made a life commitment to the care of animals. Most professional pet sitters not only have pets of their own, but have chosen the profession precisly because of a high level of care and devotion to all animals. A professional pet sitter not only invests in the care of your pet, but understands your care and concern as an owner. Hiring a professional pet sitter guarantees that you are hiring someone who will put your pet’s needs before their own.
- Professional pet sitters make sure to protect you, your pet, and even your home. Not only will most professional pet sitting services require you to sign a legally binding general service contract and veterinarian notification form, they’ll also have acquired insurance and bonding created specifically for the industry.
- Professional pet sitters will always be there. We will show up for every visit, at the scheduled time, and for the length of time you hire us for. In the rare case a sitter has an emergency and cannot get to a scheduled visit, we always have a backup.
These reasons alone are the most important factors that separate hiring a professional pet sitter from enlisting the help of a friend or neighbor. Friends and neighbors mean well, but we have heard from countless clients, and seen ourselves, the first hand reality of what can go wrong when your pets’ lives are not in the hands of a professional.
Trusting someone to care for your pets in your absence shouldn’t be a last minute decision. By hiring a professional pet sitter, you can alleviate all worries regarding your pet’s well-being, and enjoy peace of mind while you are away.
