What is a Pet Sitter?

Pet sitting is a service in which a professional comes into your home to care for your pet(s) on an as-needed basis. This means that you determine how often and when services are needed. Your pet sitter will carry out the routine that your pet is comfortable with. Services always include daily exercise, tender loving care, food and water replenishment, and, observation and detection of abnormal behavior or appearance. Additional services included for little or no extra cost are medication administration, mail retrieval, light/music adjustment, and plant care. Nail trims can also be performed for an additional fee.

The holiday season is nearing so don't wait to schedule pet care for your upcoming travels!

If you are still unsure whether or not a pet sitter is a good fit for you, give us a call to share your needs and concerns. We are happy to listen!
