Reasons to consider hiring a pet sitter over boarding your pet....

Your pet gets to stay in the comfort of their own home: Boarding can be a stressful experience for pets, as they are in a new environment with unfamiliar smells, sounds, and routines. With a pet sitter, your pet can stay in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights and smells.

Personalized care: With a pet sitter, your pet gets one-on-one attention and personalized care. The pet sitter can follow your pet’s usual routine and cater to their individual needs.

Reduced risk of illness: When your pet stays at a boarding facility, they are exposed to other animals and their germs. This increases the risk of your pet catching an illness. With a pet sitter, your pet is less likely to get sick because they are not exposed to other animals.

Less stress: Boarding can be a stressful experience for pets, especially those who are anxious or have separation anxiety. With a pet sitter, your pet can stay in the comfort of their own home and receive personalized care, which can help reduce stress levels.

No need to transport your pet: When you board your pet, you have to transport them to and from the facility. This can be stressful for both you and your pet. With a pet sitter, you don’t have to worry about that.

Regular updates: With a pet sitter, you can receive regular updates on how your pet is doing. This can give you peace of mind and help you relax while you are away.

Security: A pet sitter can also provide additional security for your home while you are away. They can bring in your mail, water your plants, and keep an eye on your property, which can deter burglars.

More flexibility: With a pet sitter, you can have more flexibility in your travel plans. You don’t have to worry about adhering to boarding facility hours or pick-up/drop-off times.

Better for senior pets: Senior pets may have a harder time adjusting to a new environment and routine. With a pet sitter, they can stay in their familiar home environment, which can be better for their overall well-being.

Peace of mind: With a pet sitter, you can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is in good hands while you are away. You don’t have to worry about your pet being stressed, getting sick, or not receiving the care and attention they need.
