WHAT ARE THE MAIN EXPECTATIONS FROM A PET SITTING SERVICE – A REVIEW?

The love of our pets is a proverbial facet of family life and having them tended to while we work or on vacation has developed into a big industry. With dog walkers, doggie daycares, and overnight boarding, the proposition of leaving our furry companions in unfamiliar environments can lead to acute stress for both owner and pet.

 

Pet sitters are getting to be an inexpensive alternative to animal boarding. Having an expert turn up at your home to tend to your pet in its environment is a smart option to have the best of both worlds. Your pets experience less stress and even lesser separation anxiety, which mitigates worry from an active owner’s life.

 

What Can The Pet Sitter Do?

 

Pet sitters tend to your animals as a caregiver would care for your children. Although pets do not need the same level of care as a child, a minimum amount of supervision and physical and social requirements is necessary for the health & safety of all animals. Based on the animal, your sitter may walk your dog and ensure its physical requirements are fulfilled. Replenishing food and water is a basic need for all sitters; often, socializing with attention and affection for 30 minutes is all that’s needed to keep pets happy.

 

Pet sitters provide specialized care by pursuing a timetable and administering vitamins or medicine at fixed times. Even a farm-sitting service will send a professional to stay at your home to provide an easier transition when you are away.

 

What about the cost?

 

You can expectedly pay in the vicinity of $30 for an in-home pet sitting visit, typically including a short walk. The cost for multiple animals is generally a few dollars more; if your pet sitter has to come twice a day, there may be a fair package fee. If you need overnight pet sitting services, expect to pay $125 per night, and there may be an extra charge for significant holidays during the year.

 

Generally, any overnight fee will comprise collecting mail and watering plants, which will provide peace of mind for the safety of not your animals alone; but the security of your home during your absence.

 

Finding a Pet Sitter

 

The smart way to find a pet sitter is with a referral. You can even talk to your veterinarian’s office or your groomers for ads in their offices. It is best to interview your farm sitting service and verify the references you would for anyone you allow in your home. A professional pet sitter will offer to visit and be in the company of your pet to let the animal bond with them before they are signed on. However, if your sitter doesn’t take the time, then they are not the services to be hired.

 

The Nutshell

If you have animals like horses, livestock, and farm animals, you can perhaps find a pet sitting service that specializes in these types of care.
