Mandi’s Pet Care Blog – Professional Pet Sitter

There are MANY benefits of using a pet sitter.  While a lot of pets do well boarding in kennels, a lot of pets may do a lot better staying home.

Hiring a pet sitter may benefit you and/or your pet if:

• your pet suffers from seperation anxiety.
• your pet does not like kennels.
• your pet requires a lot of individualized attention.
• your pet is afraid of new people.
• you have 2 or more pets. (It can save you money!)
• you need your house tended to while you are away.
• you work long hours and can’t get home to let your dog(s) out.

That’s just a few reasons to use a pet sitter!

Think about it.  If you have two or more pets, and board them in a kennel at $15/night, you’ll be paying at least $30 a day for them to stay in a kennel.  For a very similar price, you can leave your pets in the comfort of their own home, with their own smells, sights, sounds.  They have the same person come care for them several times a day, someone who they can learn to trust and love.  Your pet sitter will also check your mail, bring in your trash, water your plants, change the lights, and more!

Do you work long hours?  Have a pet sitter come walk your dog if you can’t make it home from the office!

The benefits of using a pet sitter are endless.
