Pet Sitting vs. Dog / Cat Boarding
What is Pet Sitting?
How does it compare to Pet Boarding?
Even though pet sitting has been around for quite some time now, there are still plenty of people that don't know exactly what pet sitting is and how it could benefit them and their pets. Boarding your pets has been an option available for years and is more well-known than pet sitting; however, it may not be the best option for your cat or dog. There are several reasons why pet sitting may be a better choice for your pets when you have to leave town or even for the day.
Pet sitting is a service provided to your pets in your home when you can't be there. A professional and qualified pet sitter comes to your home to care for your animals and give them the love and attention they need. Each visit usually includes feeding/watering your pet, cleaning any litterboxes or sleeping areas, administering medication if necessary, taking your dog(s) on a walk, and most importantly, providing love and attention to your pet so they don't get lonely. Other services are available upon request. Select Pet Care always sets up a free consultation in your home prior to booking services for your pet. We have only the most qualified and professional pet sitters to care for your pets and are available to you anytime.
