There are a few options to have your beloved pets looked after while you are away, here are the benefits of having a Pet Sitter...
Going on a holiday or a business trip comes up for everyone, and as pet owners, we face a dilemma of where to leave our pets while we are away. Should we take the cat to a cattery or the dog to a kennel? Or maybe ask a relative or neighbour to feed the cat, or send the dog to stay with someone else? A decision can be stressful and upsetting for both the pet and the owner!
We all love our furry family, they are a big part of our family. But sometimes, we need to go out of town for work or other important reasons, leaving our pets behind. This can be really tough for your pets because they are used to their normal routine and surroundings. But there is a solution - a Pet Sitter...
Why Pay for a Professional Sitter When Someone Can Do It For Free?
Crucially, paying for a professional pet sitter provides both assurance and insurance. A professional pet sitter offers reliability, protection and therefore peace of mind. While it may seem tempting to have a free house sitter, friend or family member take care of your home and pets for free, it's important to remember that there's no guarantee of accountability. Some people may handle your home and pets with care and respect, while others may not, which could pose potential risks. So, it's always better to be safe than sorry!
Why Choose a Professional Pet Sitter?
When it comes to our pets, we always want to make sure they're happy and stress-free. Though catteries and kennels can be great options for pet care, some pets may feel uneasy in unfamiliar environments. The new smells and sounds can be quite overwhelming for them. Our pets can get quite stressed and anxious when left alone in boarding accommodations. They miss your undivided attention and the comforts of their home. So, it's always a good idea to make sure that they feel loved and comfortable when you're away.
A professional pet sitter comes to your home and takes care of your beloved pets just like you would. They are played with, fed, walked and cuddled! This way, your pet can stay in their own cosy environment and avoid the stress of being taken away from their home.
Because pets are creatures of habit, even minor changes in their daily routine can disrupt their sense of balance. For instance, if you usually let your dog out in the garden for a morning pee or give your kitty a treat at a specific time, they'll feel much happier if those things remain consistent.
A professional pet sitter stays at your home and loves your pets as you would, ensuring they are happy and safe in an environment they are familiar with. Your dog will have plenty of exercise and playtime and your cat, all the cuddles – when they want it - so you can rest easy knowing your pets are in good hands!
Finally, having a trusted House and Pet Sitter in your home also offers round-the-clock security. It serves as a deterrent to burglars who target unoccupied houses while ensuring that all doors and windows are securely locked, curtains opened and closed, and lights turned on and off in your home. Additionally, the day-to-day running of your home is maintained such as collecting mail, putting out the bins, watering plants, and keeping your home clean. A professional pet sitter is on hand to notice any maintenance issues, such as leaking pipes or storm damage, especially as many insurance companies won’t cover your home if you’re away for long periods.
With Stay & Play Pet Sitting Services, you get an important benefit which is peace of mind. You can go away on a business trip or holiday, receive pictures and updates so you can feel confident that a trustworthy person is taking care of your pets and your home with the same love, attention and care as you!
