Best Friend Petsitting

Q.  Why would YOU want to use a pet sitting service?

Stress reduction and peace of mind are two important reasons for using a professional pet sitter.  Pets are most comfortable when they remain in their own home rather than being subjected to the stress of being placed in new and unfamiliar surroundings.   Our pets are always happiest when they can curl up in their favorite spots to nap, eat dinner at the usual spot and get personal love and attention from their pet sitter.   Also you can relax knowing that your pets are being well cared for by a reliable professional pet sitter.

Diabetic pets don't need to suffer the stress of boarding or having their routine upset which can upset the delicate balance of their glucose levels.

Remaining in the comfort of their own home reduces the chance of your pet contracting kennel cough or another contagious disease.

Q.  Are there other reasons to use a professional pet sitter?

Everyone's situation is different so in addition to providing in-home care for vacations or business trips, you should consider using Best Friend Petsitting when:

You would like your dog to get mid-day exercise.

You occasionally have to work overtime or long hours that prohibit you from getting home at the usual time.

You, or a family member suffer a sudden or prolonged illness or hospital stay that makes it difficult to carefor or walk your pet as you would normally do.
