A pet sitter is someone who cares for your pets in your home, giving them individualized
care such as food or medicine, walks your dog and cleans your cat’s litter box. Your pet
will be taken care of by a professional, trained and certified person who is familiar with
its breed’s needs and provides the attention necessary to keep it mentally and
physically healthy. Here are some nice features with these services:  


HOLISTIC Care means that - in a natural and comprehensive way - we assist you with
all aspects of animal care:
  • Healthy food; pet food recall; pet products
  • Sufficient exercise appropriate to the breed
  • Species-appropriate treatment of seasonal (ticks, weather-related) and individual
    concerns (behavioral, weight loss)
  • Health advice
  • Behavioral issues

Advantages for your pet:
  • Reduced stress:  Your pet stays in its own familiar environment where all the
    sights, smells and sounds say home!

  • Health Concerns:  With a pet sitter, there is minimal exposure to illness, parasites
    or injuries caused by other animals like in a boarding facility or kennel
    environment.

  • Diet & Exercise:  We will follow your pet care routine as closely as possible,
    including feeding, watering, exercising and administering any medication your pet
    might require - with no interruption to upset your pet.  

  • No Travel Trauma:  Travel in a vehicle to a relative's home, a boarding facility or
    kennel may upset your pet.  Some pets get travel sick or even lost.

  • One-on-one Care:  Most importantly, your pet receives individualized love and
    personal attention, in its familiar environment.

  • I absolutely advise against taking your pet along in a plane: always
    busy airports might lead to your beloved pet all of a sudden ending up on the
    flight to Australia or due to medical or security restrictions in the airport
    veterinarian’s kennel. Most animals will have to be transported in the plane’s
    belly where food, water, constant air pressure and sufficient oxygen are not
    guaranteed! Its box might get tossed around and open leaving it wandering
    around in the underground while you have no idea what tragedy is happening!
    These are not horror scenarios, but real-life facts! Don’t take a risk: leave
    your pet at home in its most comfortable environment!

Advantages for you:
  • Enjoy your vacation without a bad conscience: Knowing beloved pets are secure,
    comfortable and happy lends a peace of mind that nothing else can give a pet
    owner who is absent from home.

  • Travel:  You won't be inconvenienced or upset by transporting your pet.  
    Particularly during the hot summer months, animals require special care!

  • In case of overtime at work: established customers with keys on file can simply
    call and someone will be there for your pet at the routine time.

  • No Imposition:  You don't have to impose on a friend, neighbor, or relative to care
    for your pet.  Be assured, you can rely on a pet care professional who will put
    your pet's needs first.   

  • Security:  Your home is made secure by the crime deterrent services provided.  
    We provide basic home care services while you are gone, and make sure nagging
    questions such as “Did I switch the coffee machine off?” belong to the past.

  • Emergency Residence Service: in case of a fire, water or burglary loss, we will
    contact the authorities, your insurance carrier, file the first claim and arrange
    restoration services or provide access to the claims adjuster. We will keep you or
    family members informed and up to date. You would not have to interrupt
    the most precious weeks of the year any more.

That’s why in-home pet care is the choice of pet-owners and the
“pet-preferred” method of vacation and travel care!
