Going on Vacation? Why Professional Pet Sitting Services are the Best Choice!

Summer is just around the corner.  After the brutal winter we just endured, it is a pretty safe bet that you are already making plans for that summer getaway; but what plans do you have in place for your pets?

Certainly your four-legged family member would rather go on vacation with you; unfortunately, there are times when that just isn't possible.

The more typical options are:

• Boarding Your Pet
• Hiring a Professional Pet Sitter

Boarding Your Pet

If your pet is friendly and social, and was introduced to a kennel environment at a young age, boarding may be a good choice.

Advantages

• You don't have individual(s) you don't know coming into your home.
• Socialization, your dog will have the opportunity to play with and interact with other dogs.
• Your pet will be cared for by trained individuals.

Disadvantages

• Not all kennels are created equally; do your research and find one with a good reputation.
• A kennel stay is very stressful to most pets, which can cause the pet to experience diarrhea.
• Many animals will not eat when they are in the kennel, due to stress.
• Exposure to various diseases/illnesses.
• Drop-off and pick-up times can be very inconvenient.
• There may not be 24 hour care.
• Your pet will be crated for possibly long periods of time.

Hiring a Professional Pet Sitter

Advantages

• Your pet stays in the comfort of his/her own home, in the surroundings they are most familiar, eliminating the trauma of travel.
• Your pet experiences less stress, and is not exposed to diseases, illnesses and parasites.
• Pets are kept on their regular routine; meals, walks and playtime.
• The pet receives one-on-one love and personal attention during your absence.
• Your home is also cared for, and provided with a level of home security; mail is taken in, newspapers picked up, plants are watered, blinds are opened/closed, and lighting is adjusted.
• Daily progress reports detailing each visit or stay.
• Not having to impose on family, friends or neighbors.

Disadvantages

• Allowing a person you don't know into your home; be sure to do your research and find a pet sitter with a good reputation.  Ensure they are bonded, insured and have first aid training.  Ask for references.
• Your pet is left alone most of the day; if your pet is used to be alone during your working hours, then this won't be much of an issue.  If he/she is not used to being left alone, consider sleepover services.
