Read How Pet Sitting Works with Local Pet Sitters Available Across Australia.
There are times when you have to be separated from your ‘fur baby’, either for short or long periods of time due to work commitments or to take an overseas holiday and simply can’t take your cat or dog with you.
Apart from asking relatives and friends, there are a number of professionals and businesses that can assist with looking after your beloved four-legged friend including pet day care centres and pet boarding facilities. In recent years, however, there has been an explosion in another avenue that takes advantage of a network of local people that can look after your pet.
This article discusses the pet sitting services offered by people, referred to as pet sitters who are willing to look after cats and dogs while their owners are away, for short or extended periods of time.
With such a high percentage of cats and dogs owned across Australia, the demand for people willing to look after pets while their owners are away, is high. Fortunately, there’s also a growing number of people willing to take on the responsibility of dropping in to give pets valuable one-on-one time, give them some love to make sure they’re not suffering separation anxiety and make sure they are fed and have plenty of fresh water.
The peace of mind knowing your pet will be taken care of in their own environment removes a lot of the stress and guilt of being separated.
Pet Directory has pet sitting businesses located all over Australia that screen pet sitters making sure they’re qualified, reliable, honest and most importantly have a passion for cats or dogs.
Apart from experienced, caring people, many businesses also provide pet insurance that covers your pet from any accidents that occur in your absence.
If you live in an apartment or house with a small backyard and you’re going to be away for a while, your pet sitter can also make sure your dog is exercised regularly by taking him/her for a walk.
Lastly, while looking after your pet, your kitty litter tray can be emptied and freshened up, dog poops collected and placed in an outside bin, even your pot plants and lawn can be watered.
