Pet Sitting
As a pet sitter in Kirkcaldy since 2003, I continue to enjoy looking after my customers furry family members including cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish (not so furry) and hens. There are many reasons why you might consider pet sitting in your own home as an alternative to catteries or other pet boarding. Here are just a few:
Benefits to your pet of staying at home:
Benefits to you are:
Registering your pet normally takes about 1 hour. As well as gathering necessary information about your pets needs, their habits, likes and dislikes etc. this session gives your pet time to get to know me and vice versa and for me to assess if there are likely to be any problems.
For most pets, visits are made twice a day. Morning visits are normally between the times of 7am and 10am and evening visits normally start around 5pm. As well as the basics of feeding and water changes all the other needs of your pet are met. Depending on species this may include:
NB Sorry my services don’t extend to reptiles.
Trusting me with your pet is a huge honour and responsibility. I also appreciate that having access to your home is a position of trust also and so I have a police disclosure check for added peace of mind.
Here is what some of my clients have to say:
Benefits to your pet of staying at home:
- No stressful car journey to boarding facilities
- Kept in own environment therefore less stressful
- Kept to same routine
- Same person caring for them throughout your absence
- Pet more relaxed on your return in comparison to its experience away from home
- Pet seen by your own vet if they fall ill
Benefits to you are:
- One less job for you i.e. no packing up your pets and their belongings to take them elsewhere
- Your house looks lived in while you’re away i.e. curtains opened and shut, mail taken in from door, lights left on etc.
- For multi-pet households, should be a cheaper option to boarding
- No more depending completely on family, friends and neighbours for pet sitting
