pet/home sitting
If you need to be away from your home on business or holiday and don't want to put your pets in a boarding kennel, then pet sitting could be the answer! Especially suited for dogs as they should not be left alone over night. With this service I will come and stay in your house and care for all of your pets at your home without disrupting their own familiar, normal routine, whether they sleep on your bed, in the kitchen or in a kennel. I will feed them their usual food at the usual times. I can continue any treatment or special diets your pets need, keep their condition under observation, and call in the vet if their condition causes concern. Insulin injections can be administered to diabetic pets, post-operative care can be arranged and epilepsy monitored and managed. Dogs will be exercised exactly to your specification and have the exercise you want them to have, in the places you want them to go. Whether they need lots of exercise or are on restricted exercise due to age or ill health we will follow your instructions. Pets will not be left alone for more than 4 hours and I will be there overnight so you can be sure they are getting the attention and companionship that they need. Ideal if you have a lot of pets as there is no limit to the number of pets I can care for. Includes setting alarms and ensure all your normal security procedures are followed to the letter, handling any household emergencies that may arise such as a burst pipe / broken window quickly, calmly and professionally, keeping your home neat and tidy as you left it, bringing in the post, watering plants, opening and closing of curtains, switching lights on and off and putting the bin out so that your house never looks as though you're away.
