House and pet sitters are special people. They understand that the bond between animals and humans is strong and one that makes separation, even for short periods, difficult.
So unlike some other pet care options, house and pet sitters bring compassion to your home and treat your pets and animals as if they were their own.
Many house and pet sitters walk, watch TV and sleep with the animals they care for to help them adjust to being without their pet parent for a while.
More often than not, house and pet sitters are people who love pets, but due to certain circumstances, aren’t able to have any of their own. So giving your pet one on one attention and enjoying their company while you’re away, is part of the enjoyment for them as well.
House and pet sitters don’t see their role as a job. It’s an opportunity to share in the lives of others and care for different types of animals along the way.
There are some things you need to consider before engaging a house and pet sitter, but the benefits of having a live-in carer for your pet to keep their usual routine and environment will show through in your pet’s ability to deal with your time away from them.
