FAQ

Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. If you have a question and it is not answered here go to the contact page and email me your question and I will respond ASAP!

Why use a pet sitter?

Keeping your pet/s in their own enviornment reduces stress on them.  Also, it reduces stress on you because there is no transporting to and from a kennel and you know that they are safe in their own home in experienced care.  

Is using a pet sitting service more or less expensive than a traditional kennel?

If you have more than one pet it will almost always be less expensive. If you have one pet the peace of mind you get by leaving your pet in their own home usually outweighs the cost.

Do you provide daily dog walking service and what is the benefit?

Yes, we do provide daily dog walking services.  If you work long hours or are trying to housebreak a puppy this service can be useful. It allows your pet to get the needed break in the middle of the afternoon a walk and some playtime can be helpful in burning off pent up energy. 

How many visits per day does my pet need?

For dogs 3 times a day is optimum. No less than 2 times.  If cost is an issue consider using our mini break for the mid day visit for a reduced price it is a 15-20 minute visit that allows your pet time for a potty break and get some attention. Please call for details on this.  For cats one visit a day is great.  However, if you have a cat that needs medication or needs to be fed more often then please schedule more than one visit per day.

Why not just use the teenager or neighbor down the street?

By hiring a professional pet sitter you get the peace of mind knowing that your pets are being cared for by someone with experience.  If a medical need arises they are usually experienced enough to know what is and what is not emergent.  You also have the security because they are insured and bonded.  Pet sitters do this as a career not just a favor and take pride in their work and will care for your pets the way you would because they WORK for you!
