Psychological research shows that animals are most comfortable in a familiar environment.
Many veterinarians recommend that pets stay at home when their owners are away so that they maintain their regular diet, which avoids digestive problems, and sleep and play in their accustomed places, with familiar smells and sights. In addition, there's no risk of acquiring diseases or parasites from other animals in a kennel. Your sitter will visit your home each day, feeding your pet the food you choose, providing fresh water, exercise, accident and litter box clean-up, and medication or emergency care, if necesary. But, most of all, your sitter will play with your pet providing the needed bright spot in the day while you're away. Your sitter will have the name of your veterinarian and will arrange for care should your pet become ill.
