What Is Pet Sitting?

Pet Sitting is leaving your animals in the comfort of their own home and having someone come to them to provide care while you are away. Pet sitters provide other services as well such as bringing in mail, papers and packages, watering plants, alternating lights, blinds and drapes, checking to make sure your home is secure and taking out the trash. We can also give midday walks while people are at work, take pets to appointments and house sit if you decide to take your pet with you. Avoid disappointment and only hire true professionals who know how important your animals and home are to you. The kid down the street or your brother’s friend have other things that are more important to them than your home or your pet’s schedule.

What are the advantages of hiring a pet sitter?

Animal Advantages?

Animals get to stay in the environment they are most comfortable in which greatly reduces stress and eliminates their exposure to other animals and possible disease.
Pets can stay close to their normal routine, which is very important to animals.
Animals get quality, individual attention at each visit and each meal can be prepared as usual.
Older pets whose health is not what it once was don’t have to face the fear of listening to strange dogs bark all day and night.
Special needs pets are always accepted at no extra charge with All Pets.
When your kitty expects dinner on time, every time, like Boris shown here tapping his toes, going with a professional pet sitter is the only way!

Owner Advantages?

No hassle of transporting your animals.
You don’t have to ask your friends and neighbors to take the huge responsibility of caring for you home and pets.
No guilty feeling of leaving your pets in a strange, loud place.
Your home is checked at each visit to make sure it is secure.
No need to stop the paper or mail since the pet sitter will bring it in for you.
Your pet will be able to greet you at the door when you arrive home!
Peace of mind knowing your home and animals are in the capable hands of a professional whose only job it is to provide the highest quality care each visit.

What All Pets Can't Provide...

We can’t visit most animals every other day, for any reason. With the rare exception of some indoor cats, all animals must be seen at least once a day. Those cat owners who elect to have their animals visited every other day must sign a special waiver of liability.

We can't see inside dogs only once a day. Dogs without access to the outdoors via a dog door must be visited a minimum of twice a day.

We can’t job share with anyone other than someone living in the home.

We won’t accept clients who will not allow us access to their house. Due to possible medical emergencies or dangerous weather that may come up, we must have access to the house and have a working key for the entire length of the visit.

We don't accept clients that just want us to "toss some food" out in the dog pen.

We don’t accept clients who don’t provide proper care and shelter to all of their animals. We are happy to provide service for outdoor animals who do have proper shelter for the hottest summers and the coldest winters.

We do not schedule enough time to clean accidents on floors every visit. If we determine your pet needs more visits each day than you have paid for and scheduled, we will call you to either increase the number of daily visits or will take your dog to the boarding kennel of your choice. Please do no only schedule 2 visits a day for your dog if he/she is used to going out 4-5 times a day. The majority of indoor dogs need 3 visits a day.

All Pets Is Looking for the Following Clients...

All Pets is looking for clients who only want the best care possible for their pets. We give the animals in our care 110% each and every visit and want clients who appreciate that kind of care and dedication. We want clients who understand that All Pets is a professional pet sitting business and understand that we are much more qualified than the kid down the street to care for your animals and home. All Pets will do everything possible to accommodate each and every client, but our clients must understand with the high quality care and service we provide, we can't overbook ourselves. Please book service as early as possible. All Pets clients appreciate the high level of experience, professionalism and attention to detail we provide to every client and those clients expect to pay a fair price for that level of service.

Is Pet Sitting right for every animal?

The simple answer, NO! Pet sitting is not the right fit for every situation and every animal. While most pets are most comfortable at home, there are some situations where pet sitting just isn't the right fit. Animals that have serious seperation anxiety usually do best in a kennel enviornment. Dogs and cats in the process of regulating insulin doses should be boarded at their veterinarian. Once dose is regulated, then hire a pet sitter. Very young puppies that are prone to hypoglycemia should be boarded at a veterinarian or in a home boarding situation. Dangerous, aggressive or fear bitting dogs should not be left home and instead should be boarded at a facility that can handle that type of situation, like a veterinarian. Finally, if your dog is very hyper or distructive and not crated while someone isn't there, pet sitting may not be the best option.
