Hiring a Professional Fully Bonded Pet Sitter Worth Every Penny – Here’s Why

For me, the cost of a fully bonded and licensed pet sitter was worth every penny! The stress transporting causes birds, and there is also the concern of my birds contracting diseases from the other person’s birds (and vise-versa).

During an in-home consultation, my pet sitter asked me to leave written instructions for each pet, along with my Veterinarian’s telephone number and address for emergency purposes. Some of my “babies” were even on medication, and this too was no problem for my chosen sitter.

Many dogs left in kennels for lengthy periods of time also become stressed, causing them many health issues. Now Vet’s recommend special vaccination if you intend to leave your dog in a kennel. Same would be for cats.

During the planning stages for this trip, my main concern was; “how can I comfortably travel across Canada knowing that I have several dependents with different needs, to attend to on a regular basis?”.

As providing my exotic birds, dogs and cat with their individual daily needs, my professional pet sitter also brought in my daily postal mail from my mailbox, made sure newspapers were brought inside once they were delivered (and watered my bird building and house plants!), making my home look lived-in so those passing by would assume someone was in my home every day (because they were!).

Coming home to my furry and feathered family was truly a treat, as not one of them was stressed out or sick from my extended leave of absence. Having taken the time to pick the right pet sitter really did pay off!

For me, the cost of a fully bonded and licensed pet sitter was worth every penny! Not only was I anxious to deliver heirlooms to my newly married brother’s home in Calgary, Alberta, at that time, but I could also conduct a bit of family research along my way.

Birds are easily stressed every time they are transported for any reason, and some even suffer motion sickness. Taking my birds to and from someone else’s home was never an option.

Selecting a fully bonded pet sitter gave me the peace-of-mind I so needed in order to take those three, glorious weeks traveling across Canada by automobile, while making sure to stop regularly along the way, to visit with friends and family.

Entertain the idea of hiring a professional pet sitter, you’ll be glad you did!
