Your pet can stay in familiar surroundings while being cared for by a professional insured pet sitter. Your pet(s) will receive plenty of love and attention while in their own home and their routine will not be disrupted. A boarding facility can be a traumatic place for a pet. They are exposed to unfamiliar surroundings and the possible illness of other animals. A pet sitter will also watch over your home, notify you if there is a problem with your house or your pet and also bring in mail, turn on/off lights and take out the trash can.
