Over the years, more and more Americans have decided to expand their lives by acquiring pets that essentially serve as extensions of themselves. In the past, families were traditionally seen as the ones who could responsibly own pets, especially since one of the parents was mostly home to take care of them. This time, however, even individuals and working couples are either pet owners or seriously considering of getting their own pets despite their busy schedules.

Based on the 2005-2006 National Pet Owner Survey of the America Pet Products Association, pet ownership is now 63% of the country’s total households. Most of these households prefer dogs, birds and cats for pets. This is mainly due to their loving personalities as well as their faithfulness to their owners, traits that pet owners are endeared to. In return for such love, owners also lavish their pets with attention and affection.

Realistically, owners cannot always provide such love and care especially since their daily routine goes beyond home and work. Oftentimes, they face the dilemma of not knowing where or to whom they could safely entrust their pets when they have to be away for a long period of time either for vacation, an emergency trip or out-of-town engagements. For some owners, a day away from their pets is already agonizing, while for others, being away for more than a day is a big problem.

Previously, owners had no choice but seek the kindness of their neighbors to at least feed their pets or in other instances, bring their pets to a new environment where they could seek temporary shelter such as the house of a family/friend or a kennel. Most of the experiences of those who have taken these options have often been heartbreaking: either their pets weren’t cared for as expected or their pets were stressed by the new environment. The bottom line for owners: leaving their pets is as stressful for them as it is for their pets.

These days, a new pet service is being offered to American owners, one which aims to replace all the negative impacts that old options often entail. Pet sitting is a caregiving service that uniquely caters to pets and their needs. This time, owners can let their pets stay at home while being cared for by a pet sitter.

Pet sitting services allocate one pet sitter to an owner. The sitter will be the same face that a pet sees every time the service is needed. As such, familiarity and regularity is established within the pet’s environment, reducing its stress when its owner is not around. Pet sitters make sure that the habitual activities (e.g. food intake, recreation, physical training and grooming) are strictly followed, aside from the special instructions that owners usually request (e.g. scheduled vet check-up and medication). Pet sitters also ensure that pets are showered with love and attention the way their owners treat them.  

Owners who opt for pet sitting services are assured that their pets are cared for only by profession pet sitters who not only attend to and nurture their pets but also take the extra steps of ensuring that owners are advised of improving their pets’ well-being which owners sometimes overlook (e.g. cost effective medicine and shots). Such professionalism and care extends to caring for the safety of the owner’s house.

Pet sitting is an owner’s way of keeping its pet safe and well-loved. Try it, if you are one! The comfort it brings might just give you a pleasant surprise.
