Pet Sitting
We visit your home to feed and care for your pets!
Pet Sitting is when a Pet Sitter will visit your pets at your home to care for them while you are away. They will ensure your pet is well cared for by feeding your pets, changing their water, cleaning up after them, playing with them and being attentive to any changes in your pet’s behaviour or well-being. They will also perform security checks including bringing in the mail, putting out the bins, switching lights on and off, opening and closing curtains and being alert to any abnormal occurrences. You can also ask for extra services such as dog walking watering the plants, cleaning the pool, cleaning pet cages, and pretty much anything you like!!
At Paws Pet Sitters we are happy to care for all pets great and small including dogs, cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, chickens, reptiles, etc.
All new clients are required to have an initial interview to meet their Pet Sitter. This meeting is beneficial to both you and your Pet Sitter as you are able to meet your Pet Sitter face-to-face and can show them around your home. You will show them what you would like them to do and most importantly, they will meet your pets. They will give you a Service Agreement Form for you to complete and will answer any questions you may have.
Benefits of Pet Sitting
Pet Sitting ensures that your pet stays in their own environment while you are away. An owner being absent is a stressful time for a pet and the best thing you can do to keep them comfortable is to leave them in their own environment with familiar smells and routine. Boarding Facilities can present added stressful situations for your pet such as unfamiliar surroundings, other unknown pets, flea infestations and more.
Paws Pet Sitters offers a professional alternative to leaving your pets with a family member or having your neighbour pet sit for you. This saves you having to burden those around you and gives you peace of mind that a professional is available to provide the service for you.
The price of Pet Sitting is also a benefit. With one pet the price is comparable to a stay in a boarding kennel and with multiple pets you actually save money.
