The Advantages for the pet: Pets are not stressed out by being left alone in strange surroundings. Your pets are not subjected to any travel trauma. They are able to follow their normal eating, medication &/or exercise schedules. Pets are not exposed to potential illnesses or parasites that may be encountered in some kennel environments. Pets get personalized, loving one on one care. Pet sitters are also great for times when you must work late unexpectedly, when other commitments make it difficult for you to give time to your pet, and/or caring for animals with special needs.
Advantages for the owner: You no longer need to impose on friends, family, or neighbors to care for your pets while you are away. Your home is more secure by having it checked & visited on regularly while gone. Certain household chores like bringing in the mail & newspaper & watering of plants get done while you are gone adding to crime deterrence allowing you to return to your home just as you left it. You aren't inconvenienced by having to transport your pet to & from a vet or kennel. You get comfort & peace of mind knowing that your pets, your home & your belongings are being cared for by a professional & experienced pet sitter.
