No Place Like Home for Your Pet Of all the households in the United States, more than 60 have some kind of pet. There are an estimated ll0 million cats and dogs alone, not to mention all the hamsters, birds, fish, and other pets. According to the American Humane Society, these pets are happiest when they're at home, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds and smells. In the past, however, most pet owners had few choices concerning care for their animals when they were away from home. They could turn to friends, neighbors or professional boarders -- all of which are possible solutions, but not ideal for every pet. A new alternative presents the best choice of all -- a professional pet care giver who comes into the home to care for the pet while the owner is away. That is indeed why in-home pet-care is one of the fastest growing industries in the country today.
Eliminating the trauma of being transported, and minimizing exposure to contagious illnesses of other animals are certainly additional advantages to home care for owner and pet alike. The in-home pet-care solution is a relief to most owners who no longer have to impose on family, friends or neighbors or have the inconvenience of transporting their pet. Extra services are often offered, such as crime-deterrent measures, watering plants, bringing in the mail, garden care, etc. The growth of the in-home pet-care industry over the past few years is evidence of its effectiveness in well satisfied owners with well cared for pets. See
Philadelphia Inquirer story. Why a Pet Sitter? As a pet owner you may have to someday think about what to do with your "other children" when you are traveling away from home.
Most pet owners, either board their pet or arrange for friends and neighbors to take care of their animals while they are away. As you can well imagine, transporting your precious angels to, of all places an unfamiliar kennel, can be traumatic especially for your independent feline.
Likewise, your friends may not provide the level of care you would want your pet to receive. Plus, it can often be very uncomfortable and awkward to impose on friends and family.
It has been proven that all pets do much better (psychologically and physically) while their loving owners are away, when they are in their own environment.
Consider hiring a pet sitter instead of feeling guilty with taking your "babies" to a unfamiliar and often dangerous place, while you are suppose to be taking a vacation or just leaving for a day or two. There are lots of advantages for both you and your pet:
Your pet remains in the comfort and security of his/her home.
Your pet
will stay on customary diet and exercise routine.
No
exposure to illness from other animals in kennels, or "pet
hotels.".
Your pet
receives loving, personalized attention.
Regular
home visits provide crime-deterrence for your home. You can travel with peace of mind knowing your pet and home are in good hands
