Why hire a pet sitter?
Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or at your home, overall it is less stressful then a kennel. The pets get plenty of individualized attention. When your pet is "lodging" at my home they are in a quiet suite with soft music playing during the day. I am available to check on them often and even during the night they are not alone. You are welcome to call or email at any time for an update on your pet. When I am caring for your pet at your home I will also bring in mail, water plants and alternate lights at no additional cost.
Who will be caring for your pet?
Alison Smith, the owner, will be the only one caring for your pet.
"I do not subcontract any work. Whether your pet is in my home or I am making a visit to your home, rest assure that no strangers will be involved with your pets care."
What if your pet needs medication?
If your pet needs medication there is no need to worry. I am a Veterinary Technician with years of experience administering medications to animals. I can provide oral medication, injections and SQ fluids as needed.
