I believe that the biggest advantage to having a pet sitter, especially for longer times away, is that your pets will remain in your home where they are comfortable and you have provided a safe environment. When we meet, we will thoroughly go over their routine, their likes and dislikes (hate those stormy days) and how you care for them so I can keep them as close to their usual routine as possible. Playtime is the fun part! I will toss balls and play laser tag until they decide to quit or my arm falls off lol. For the more mellow fellows, lots of cuddles and lap time plus gentle exercise options like slow walks with lots of sniff time and puzzle toys and snuffle mats will keep them engaged and healthy. Be ready for daily updates and cute pics to let you know all is well and the kids are having a good time. One of the ways I feel that I stand out in this business is that this is so much more than a business to me. Animals have always been my passion. As a kid, I slept with three stuffed Lassies that were bigger than me and adopted every critter in the neighborhood before I was able to get one of my own. The day I got my first pup, Sacha, was one of the happiest days of my life. You are on this site because you care about your pets and want what is best for them. I promise to treat your kids and your home as if they were my own.
