Sometimes you’ve just got to get away, and you can’t always bring your furry best friend with you. Pet sitters can care for animals for extended periods of time, or they can operate a day care that allows owners to drop off a pet in the morning and pick it up at the end of the day. Some animals may become neurotic or dangerous to themselves or others if they are left alone in a home, and many animals are terrified of animal shelters, a place that may be filled with the odors of other animals that are ill or frightened.
A pet sitter offers a comfortable and personalized alternative to boarding a dog or cat at an animal shelter and removes the worry and liability that would come with asking someone to come into your home to visit and care for your pet. A pet sitter and doggie day care service will care for dogs, cats, and certain other housetrained pets in your home while their owners are away on vacation. A pet sitter also will maintain a doggy day care center for animals unable to be left at home alone while their owners are at work. Besides that, the pet sitter will take responsibility for emergency medical care as well as basic needs for animals.
You’ll begin with a high comfort level with dogs and cats, of course. You’ll also need a living space that is large enough to safely handle multiple animals, and a nearby location to give them exercise is a must, too. Be sure to obtain full information on where the owners will be while you have their animal in your charge, and obtain written permission from them to obtain emergency medical service if required.
