For Your Pet: In-home pet care eliminates most of the stress or anxiety your pets may experience when they're away from their home and routines. Also, if you have lots of pets or animals that are difficult to board, an in-your-home pet sitter is the perfect solution. For You: Pet sitting can be a safer, more convenient, and more economical alternative to kennels, especially if you have multiple pets or transporting them is difficult. As an added bonus, your home will look occupied while you're away. For security, I use a lock box system for your keys whenever possible.
