Why should I chose house sitting?
Safety for your home.
Because a licensed and bonded pet sitter will be staying overnight with your pets, your home will be lived-in making it a less attractive target for thieves and burglars. Your sitter will also perform regular security checks including ensuring all locks are secured, checking for broken windows and identifying water leaks.
Peace of mind and convenience for you.
If you have pets, since you’ll be skipping the kennel, pets stay in their own home. Best of all, your smiling pets will be waiting for you when you return from your trip. Your pet sitter will be in constant communication with you throughout the service and will send report cards and photos throughout the stay so you never have to wonder how your pets are doing.
Healthier pets.
Because your pets will stay in their own environment, there is no chance your pet could come down with a communicable disease. Pets can easily catch kennel cough, heartworm, parvovirus and ringworm from social settings.
Less stress for your pets.
If you ask your pets what they prefer, they would tell you they would rather stay at home in their own familiar environment where they’re most comfortable.
