You may be considering hiring a dog walker because you don’t have time to walk your dog yourself. But, it’s also good to have a think whether your dog would benefit from pet sitting, especially if you aren’t able to be with your dog during the day. Dogs need lots of attention and can display challenging behaviour if they are left alone for long periods. Dog sitting includes dog walking, feeding, and playing. It can either be carried out at your home or at a special facility. Known as ‘doggy daycare’, dog sitting effectively acts as a kindergarten but for your dog! Though of course, one downside is that dog sitting is more expensive than dog walking. If you have plenty of time for your dog, but it just requires some additional walks, then a dog walker is the best option. However, dog sitting is there for your pet when you can’t be.
