Choosing The Right Pet Sitter!
Professional pet sitters do much more than provide a pet with food and water while their guardian is away from home. A good pet sitter also spends quality time with the animal, gives him exercise, and knows how to tell if he needs veterinary attention. What’s more, pet sitters typically offer additional services, such as taking in mail and newspapers and watering plants. As with any other contractor entering your home, your pet sitter should be fully bonded and insured. If a pet sitter is bonded and insured it means they are running a legitimate business. By operating a legitimate business they are not treating this as a hobby or a way to make some easy cash. More than likely it means the next time you need a pet sitter they will be there to help you.
Why Hire A Pet Sitter?
A pet sitter is a professional, qualified individual paid to care for your pet. A Professional Pet sitter can offer both you and your pet many benefits.
Your pet gets:
- Pets are happier and experience less stress at home
- Diet and exercise routines are uninterrupted
- Travel trauma for both owner and pet is eliminated
- Pet’s exposure to illness is minimized
- Staying at home in his/her safe, secure environment
- Surrounded by familiar sights, smells and sounds
- Maintaining medical treatment, when required
You get:
- The peace of mind knowing that your pet is being cared for by a Professional
- Having the confidence that the pet sitter can deal with emergencies
- Someone to bring in your newspaper and mail
- Untrained or unwilling friends/family/neighbors need not be called
- Feeling your home is more secure (with someone going in and out several times a day)
-
We understand that many people may be skeptical about letting a “total stranger” have access to their home and all that is most cherished to them while they are away. At No Place Like Home Pet Sitting, LLC, our goal is to provide an alternative to caged boarding for your 4-legged family members and peace of mind for you in every way.
The Pet Sitters Liability Program provides liability protection specifically for the exposures relating to the Pet Sitting/Dog Walking business: Care, Custody and Control.
We are fully insured and bonded through Kennel Pro. Proof of Insurance may be verified by calling 1-800-686-2663.
You may rest assured that your pets and home will be cared for with the utmost honesty and attention while in our care! We have all passed a stringent background check through Acutraq (888-361-7036) and are more than happy to provide proof of a criminal free background upon request.
We are also Pet CPR & First Aid Trained and non-smokers for your added peace of mind. In any emergency situation where we should require the assistance of an outside pet sitter we will only utilize the services of a reputable company who is insured and bonded.

Please Note!
While pet sitting is by far the best choice for the majority of pets, it may not be ideal for some. Pets with separation anxiety, behavioral issues or delicate medical conditions may do better in a kennel or veterinary boarding facility.
If you have concerns, be sure to talk to your pet sitter or veterinarian.
