Not sure if you need a pet sitter?
Have you ever picked your pet up from one of those other places and he's had to "adjust" at home for several days afterwards?
Does your pet need special attention but not vet supervision?
Does your pet have trouble adjusting to unfamiliar environments?
Re-cooperating from surgery and need someone to walk the dog?
Do you have an elderly parent or relative who could use some help with their pet?
What are the benefits?
Less stress for you and your pet
Your pet stays in his familiar environment
No exposure to other possibly sick animals
Not imposing on friends or neighbors.
Basically he stays on his normal routine and that means less stress for you knowing your pet is well taken care of.
