Pet sitting is a job taking care of a pet in the absence of their owner. The pet sitting industry is slowly replacing the older and more conventional form of pet care, in absence of the owner - kennel boarding - because of the advantages it provides to the pet owner. Pet sitting curtails the chance for your pet to receive diseases, such as fleas that it may receive in a kennel. Additionally, the pet does not need to acclimatize to a new environment.
A sitter may also visit your home as frequently as four times a day as once every other day depending upon the pet. The length of visit is also determined by both pet owners and pet sitters, but normally pet sitting is 20 to 30 minutes per session. While you are away, some pet sitters will do small household chores that need to be completed as early as possible. Professional pet sitters should be licensed, bonded and insured. They have your house keys as well as security code, so it is important to confirm their references and insurance status.
