BENEFITS OF HIRING A PET SITTER
Many pets are really attached to their owners and don’t like to change their home comforts and routine. The last thing you want to worry about when you need to leave town for a business trip or holiday is your pet’s state of mind and welfare, as many pets can suffer from anxieties and stress while you are away. But having someone staying in their home with them can ensure your pet will be much happier and healthier.
Hiring a professional house sitter may be your best option.
Stress-free
Certainly, many catteries and kennels are brilliant places to leave your pets. Still, many animals can be unhappy in new and unknown surroundings; just the unfamiliar smells and sounds are a lot for any animal to deal with. House sitter can provide your pet with undivided attention and at the same time reduce stress levels.
Routine
Inconsistent daily schedules can contribute to high-stress levels and anxiety in some pets. All pets like predictability, especially when it comes to their basic needs of food, shelter, and safety. Therefore, it is essential to maintain their daily routine, and a professional pet sitter could definitely help you with that.
Medical care
If you have a cat or dog that requires medication daily or is perhaps an older pet, we are trained to administer treatment and medicines. We are also both human and pet first-aid trained in case of an emergency. We know how to handle ageing dogs and how to lift them without hurting them. We can act as in-house carers for your ailing pets and give you regular updates on their health status.
Security
Welcoming a trusted house-sitter into your home can provide 24-hour security. Providing a deterrent to any burglars who prey on empty homes and ensuring that doors and windows are locked, curtains closed and opened, and lights switch on and off in your home. Even the small job of taking your mail off the doormat and putting out your rubbish bins can discourage any unwanted callers to your home.
Maintenance
Of course, we won’t decorate your home while you’re on holiday, but even so, we are happy to run the vacuum over the carpets and water your plants. We are 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 of time.
Finally, one important thing that you will get for sure if you hire a professional house-sitter – is Peace of Mind. You can go away on business or holiday, knowing that a trusted person is caring for your pets and your home, with just as much love, attention, and care that you do.
