Owner’s favorite moment or story?
“Bella loves to have her belly rubbed so when meeting up with just any human being, she approaches and before the person even touches her she is already on her back so to be ready for the belly rub.”
Happy Dog Owner – Helene

Bella’s regular dog walks help her burn off some of that puppy energy! Bella is always happy to see us and loves to play with everyone.

A family vacation is something to look forward to. However, there are some places you just can’t take your dog, and if that’s the case, you will need to make arrangements for their pet care. Friends and family can’t always be relied on and some dogs just don’t settle in a boarding kennel. If your dog falls into one of these categories, a pet sitter may be the best solution.
What is a Pet Sitter
A pet sitter is someone who is paid to visit your dog or pets at least once daily. If you are on a trip, usually three visits or more are recommended. A pet sitter will play with your pets, feed them and make sure they are okay. Pet Sitters are professionals whose job is to ensure your dog is healthy and happy while you’re away.
Advantages to Hiring a Pet Sitter
Your dog can stay in familiar surroundings, and not have to put up with the sounds and smells of a boarding kennel.
You can be confident your dog will be fed what you want him to eat. This is particularly important if your dog has food sensitivities.
Dogs are creatures of habit. A pet sitter will fit in with your dog’s regular schedule so his routine isn’t disrupted too much. Does he have his regular walk at 2pm? A pet sitter can arrange to walk him at that time each day.
Your dog will receive one on one attention during the pet sitter’s visits, because he is the only dog she will be taking care of at that time.
Your dog is much less likely to be exposed to infectious disease. No matter how well vaccinated your dog is, and no matter how clean a boarding kennel, there is still the risk of your dog catching a respiratory infection. That won’t happen if you use a pet sitter.
A pet sitter wil be able to collect your mail, water your plants and take the trash can out when it’s garbage pickup day. These extra services can also give the impression that someone is at home, which may help prevent a break in.
How do I Choose a Pet Sitter?
You can find a professional pet sitter online, through Google Business Listings, National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS), or Pet Sitters International. Always ask for references, and make sure that your pet sitter is bonded and insured.
Questions to ask a Pet Sitter
What services are included in the daily fee?
Will they collect mail and water plants while they are tending to your dog?
What will they do with your dog while they are there – play ball, take him for a walk, perhaps even groom him?
Does the pet sitter have a vet release form? It’s a great idea just in case there is a need for them to seek treatment from your veterinarian while you are away.
By hiring a pet sitter, your dog can relax at home while you enjoy your vacation. That’s a win-win situation for both you and your dog.
