What are the Advantages of a Pet Sitter?

A pet sitter provides peace of mind for everyone.
Advantages for our furry charges: 
* Reduced Stress... Your pet stays in its own familiar secure environment where all the sights, smells and sounds say “Home!”
* Diet and Exercise... Customary diet and exercise routines are followed, with no interruption to upset your pet.
* No “Travel Trauma”...Travel in a vehicle upsets some pets.
* Health Concerns... With a pet sitter, there is minimal exposure to illness of other animals.
* T L C...Most importantly, your pet receives love and personal attention while you are away.

Advantages for your pet's people:
* Travel... You won’t be inconvenienced or upset by transporting your pet. You also save some "away time" in not having to drop your pet off the day before or pick up the day after you return. In turn, that also saves you some money.
* No Imposition... You don’t have to impose on a friend, neighbor or relative to care for your pet, but instead rely on a pet care professional who will put you pet’s needs first.
* Security... Your home is made more secure by the crime deterrent services provided by most pet-sitting services.
