As a previous pet owner, I know exactly what they mean when they say my pets are apart of the family too. If my pets can not tag along with me and I had the option to choose where I could temporarily place them, I’d want them to feel safe and happy while I am away - While having the reassurance that I know I’ll need to calm my nerves because I hate having to leave my pet. I understand that they become anxious when it comes to strangers. But knowing that you're pet sitter would take the time to make them feel at ease, going the extra mile to ensure their comfort makes all the difference to you and your pet(s). I do this full-time so i am pretty flexible when it comes to working around you and your pet(s) needs .
