Why use a registered pet sitter?

Your dog will be much happier either staying in its own home with a live in pet sitter or in a pet sitter's home with a family environment where he will receive lots of tender loving care and attention. Your pet sitter will follow your feeding & exercise instructions, allowing your pet to follow the routine they are used to at home. When boarding in the sitter's home, dogs usually have access to a secure garden. If you are using a dog walker to come to your home to pet sit or for dog walking purposes, be sure to ask to see their CRB check certificate if they will be holding a set of your keys. If you are using a home dog or cat boarder - be sure that they are licensed by their local authority.
