Services
From our experience, Home Alone Preferred Pet Care has found that pets are less stressed and healthier when they remain in their familiar settings and follow their regular routines. Boarding facilities are not pet vacation spas! Your pets are typically caged almost all day and night, and may only be allowed out in a small "run" a few times per day. The facility is noisy, dark at night, and full of unfamiliar and possibly frightening smells. Usually the food is different from what your pets are accustomed to eating. In addition, because many kennels are affiliated with veterinary offices, the kennel does double duty as a hospital for pets recuperating from surgery and disease.
By providing in-home pet sitter service, Home Alone Preferred Pet Care will ensure that your pets follow their regular schedules while receiving lots of love and attention.
We realize that pet owners have busy lives. For some, your work and social calendars regularly keep you away from home and your pets for more than 12 hours at a stretch. And many pet owners have no one reliable who can care for their beloved companions. Increasingly, these busy folks turn to Home Alone Preferred Pet Care for pet visits.
Your pet sitter visit will provide comfort, companionship and a touch of loving care. Young dogs need time to stretch their legs and play, perhaps even have a nice walk around the neighborhood. For senior canine citizens, in-home visits provide necessary relief. Feline companions need playtime, treats, and a loving hand to rub their ears and tummies, too.
For longer, extended times away from home, such as vacations, our pet sitter will also provide the following complimentary services in their daily visits:
-
alternating lights and window treatments
-
water indoor plants as requested
-
remove garbage and recycle items
Pet sitting visits also include giving oral medications, which can be extremely important if cats or dogs are on prescriptions requiring periodic dosages. Our pet sitters can give oral meds, diabetes shots and vitamins.
Remember, our visits don't end with food, water and a pat on the head. We provide customized service to meet the needs of each individual pet. Home Alone Preferred Pet Care has experience with all types of animals, from dogs and cats, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, turtles, fresh and saltwater fish. Call us today to schedule your in-home consultation and take the worry out of leaving your furry family members behind!
