Why Use a Professional Pet Sitter? Simple.
There's No Place Like Home.
More than 60% of all the households in the United States have some kind of pet. In fact,
there are an estimated ll0 million cats and dogs alone, not to mention all the hamsters, birds, fish, and other pets. According
to the American Humane Society, these pets are happiest when they are at home, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds and smells.
In the past, however, most pet owners had few choices concerning care for their animals when they were away from home.
They could turn to friends, neighbors or professional boarders -- all of which are possible solutions, but not ideal for every
pet. Many have found that a new alternative presents the best choice of all -- a professional pet sitter who comes into the
home to care for the pet while the owner is away. That is indeed why in-home pet care is one of the fastest growing industries
in the country today. According to the experts, from the pet's perspective, the familiar environment, diet and exercise
routine, along with the personal attention provided by a professional pet caregiver are the perfect answers. Eliminating the
trauma of being transported and minimizing exposure to illnesses of other animals are certainly additional advantages to the
owner and pet alike. The in-home pet care solution is a relief to owners who no longer have to impose on family, friends,
neighbors or have the inconvenience of transporting the pet. There are also extra services offered, such as crime-deterrent
measures (securing alarms & alternating lights), watering plants & bringing in the mail and newspaper. The incredible
growth of the in-home pet care industry over the past few years is evidence of its effectiveness in well satisfied owners
with well cared for pets.
