A Pet Sitter for Sickly Pets



We always get worried whenever some of our loved ones get sick. Thus, we make sure that they are comforted by staying at their side and ensuring that they get all the things they need for their fast recovery. The same thing goes for our pets, when they get sick we either rush them to the vet or immediately give them the pampering fit for a king.
But there are pets that are just too fragile or too sickly –those pets that instantly get flu once there is a sudden drop or rise in temperature. And if you happen to be an owner of pets like this, then you know all the sacrifices you have to endure for your pet.  First is the monetary sacrifices you have to make –you have to pay for the trips to the vet, medicines, and other things that will make your pet more comfortable. Second is that sometimes you have to stay with your pet for long period of hours just to make sure that all is well. And third, you can’t leave home.
For sickly pets, it will be a very good idea to hire a professional pet sitter to take care of them whenever you are unavailable or busy. Hiring a pet sitter will significantly reduce your burden in taking care of them. Furthermore, whenever you are away, you no longer need to worry about your pet and your house because you know that there is someone you can trust in charge of your beloved home and pet. And lastly, having a pet sitter means that you can just call him/her whenever you have an urgent trip to make –you no longer have to bother your neighbour or relatives to take care of your pet for a few days.

Pet Sitter to Help You Have a Wonderful Holiday

Every once in a while we yearn for a vacation –a time away from home, a time away from work. And every year we allocate some days for these kinds of days. But usually, vacationers don’t get much out of their prized holiday because of several problems left at home. One common problem is that the concern that no one is looking after his/her home. Second, is that they bought along his/her pet and that it’s driving them insane –you had to attend to each of your pet’s needs daily.
Obvious solutions for the second problem are to leave your pet at home, in a pet care facility, or with a relative. Leaving your pet at home would result to your little buddy starving. Second, leaving your pet on a pet care facility will not only put a hole in your pocket but it will also potentially expose your little buddy to diseases and parasites such as dog flees, rabies, et cetera. And third, your relative might not like some additional burden from you while you bask on the sun right? So, it seems like you can’t leave your pet at home. But yes you can. With the help of a professional pet sitter, you can leave your pet at home with them and you’ll be certain that your little buddy will be taken care of. Professional pet sitters are pet care professionals that cater to the needs of pet owners and their pets. If you’re worried about their service charge, you need not to because professional fee for pet sitters are very minimal. Furthermore, you can also ask your pet sitter to do additional task such as watering the plants, grooming your pet, or taking the morning newspaper. That way, it will seem that there are a lot of activities in your home and it will be a less likely target for burglars.  With pet sitters, you are also confident that someone trusted is in charge of your home and that he/she will call whenever an emergency occurs. Thus, you are left with only the peace of mind knowing that everything is just fine back at home because you have your pet sitter in charge.

The Advantage of Hiring a Professional Pet Sitter versus Leaving Your Pets in Pet Care Centers


A professional pet sitter do home services to personally take care and look after your pets. It is his duty to make sure that your pets eats on time, safe, and comfortable. What is good about hiring your own professional pet sitter is that his attention will only be focused on your pet alone unlike in pet care centers where the pet sitter’s attention is divided among many animals. He can therefore closely monitor your pet, keep an eye on him, and provide him with more interaction.

A professional pet sitter can also come to your home on a flexible schedule either daily, biweekly, or only if you have a vacation or an important thing to attend. Professional pet sitters can also come once a day or go back as much as 4 times a day, perhaps only during meal times of your pets. This means that you do not need to waste another minute of your time in going to pet care centers to drop off or fetch your pet. They are usually paid per hour, per day, or per appointment depending on your agreement.

On the other hand, if you opt to leave your pets in pet care facilities, see to it that the place is clean and safe. Ask whether your pet will have a separate lodging area and see if it is comfortable enough. Know also the food that they serve or if you can bring your own food for your pets. In pet care facilities, consider that there is a possibility of cross infection between animals if one is infected. There is also a possibility of animal fights which you should make sure will not happen to your little one. Double-check their opening and closing time to ensure that you fetch your pet on time. Most pet care facilities are close on weekends as well as on holidays and if you cannot fetch your pet on time, you will have to pay for additional charges and you cannot be with your pet for the next days while the facility is closed.

With all these to consider, it is now your decision whether to hire a pet sitter or leave them on pet care centers.. However, bear in mind that animals have your homes as their comfort zones. It is their territory where they are used to the smell, the place, and the people. So, if you can afford to hire a professional pet sitter to personally care for your pets with exclusive services, then perhaps this is the best option that you should consider.
