Hiring a professional pet sitter can be thought of as a luxury, it isn’t a necessity but it is sure nice and convenient!
Just ask my clients – they can call us last-minute and can feel comfort in knowing their pets will be cared for if they have to leave their home unexpectedly, or had forgotten to book their pets in advance of their weekend away! There is no need to take a trip to the kennels to drop them off and then pick them up on their return! Their happy pets (tails wagging) will be waiting for them at their own front door when they get back home, as if nothing had happened!
When searching for pet care, people will often call around looking for the cheapest option, and they will usually find boarding, whether its kennels or at peoples homes. Not all kennels and homes are the same so it is always important to visit them first before you drop your dog off! And ALWAYS read reviews before booking.
Now when you compare pet sitting with boarding – they are completely different services offering completely different things – although most people seem to class us in the same category!
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?
Pet sitting is not the cheapest pet care provider, and here are some of the reasons why:
We are more expensive because we TRAVEL TO YOUR HOME - gives you and your pet more convenience, so we must factor in travel costs.
We will have access to your homes, which not only gives your home EXTRA SECURITY whilst you are away, but also means we must have the correct insurance in place to ensure protection for you, your pets and your home.
Our prices are higher because our SERVICES ARE IN DEMAND – there are only so many visits one person can physically accommodate in one day!
Care given is SPECIFIC TO YOU AND YOUR PETS REQUIREMENTS – every house and client are different. We work individually with your pet to ensure they get the mental and physical stimulation they need, and are not left in a kennel or crate for long periods of time.
Obviously pet sitting is not for everyone. There are a lot of pet care providers and it is important all pet owners find SOMEONE THEY TRUST to care for their pets.
If you think about pet sitting as a professional pet care provider with a higher quality of service for your pet, then our prices are competitive.
