Why Hire a Pet Sitter?

Vacationing

Going on a vacation and can’t bring your four-legged family member with you? Taking your pet from the comfort of their home while you’re away can cause them stress which can affect their eating and sleeping as well as their general well-being.

For you, dropping off or picking up your pet at a boarding kennel is time-consuming, stressful and for some owners it’s difficult to leave your pet in a caged environment.

The solution: Walk & Watch Pet Care’s in-home professional pet care.  Walk & Watch consults with you to discover your pet’s individual needs and creates a routine that fits.  We love animals and have experience with many breeds of both cats and dogs, along with small animals, and fish.

Here are some reasons why in-home pet care may be right for you: 

-         Stress-free for both you and your pet

-         No drop-off or pick-up

-         For multi-pet households, the cost is comparable or less than boarding

-         Provides protection against communicable illnesses that may be present at boarding kennels

-         Great for older, younger, or handicapped pets that require extra care

Besides basic in-home care, here are some of the additional tasks we can do for you and your pet while you are away:

-         E-mail updates with photos or video

-         Phone updates

-         Dog walking

-         Administer medication

-         Bring in mail or packages

-         Water plants

-         Adjust lights and window shades
