You\u2019re headed out-of-town. You have your dates set, your tickets are ordered, and you\u2019ve thought about what you\u2019ll pack. Then you remember that you also need to schedule someone to care for your pets. It\u2019s tempting to phone a friend. We all have friends or family who love our pets and probably don\u2019t mind. But there are many sound reasons not to use your friends or family for pet sitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today marks the beginning of <a href=\"https:\/\/nationaltoday.com\/national-professional-pet-sitters-week\/#:~:text=National%20Professional%20Pet%20Sitters%20Week%20%E2%80%93%20March%205%2D11%2C%202023,the%20incredible%20job%20they%20do.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Professional Pet Sitters Week<\/a>. We are proud of the quality work we do for pet families, we care deeply about safety, and we do our best to ensure at all times that our pet sitting is clean and stress-free for you and your pet. Here are just a few reasons why using a certified professional  is a better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"save-the-favors-for-when-youll-really-need-them\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save the Favors for When You\u2019ll Really Need Them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will always be moments in our lives when we need help from our family and friends. Some are small, like running out of gas or needing a ride. Others are much bigger, like medical emergencies or help after a surgery. By hiring a professional pet sitter, you will ensure that you haven\u2019t used up what\u2019s in your friends and family\u2019s well of generosity. You can save those favors for when you really need them. Your friends and family will also be more likely to say yes to a favor when they don\u2019t feel like they\u2019ve already given a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"preserve-friendships\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preserve Friendships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there is ever a problem during your friends or family\u2019s pet sitting experience, you risk the quality of the friendship. If your pet gets lost or injured accidentally while in the care of family or friends, or your home is left unlocked, or valuables go missing, the last thing you want to deal with is conflict about it. That conflict could change or even endanger friendships or leave lasting rifts between family members. Using a professional removes the risks of damaging relationships with those close to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We help keep your pet safe and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sitting-in-your-own-home\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sitting in Your Own Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although some animals are adaptable to animal boarding facilities or staying in the homes of friends and family for a short time, most pets prefer the routine and familiarity of their own home when their pet-parents are away. Professional pet sitting in your clean, safe, stress-free home is almost always the best option when you\u2019re out of town.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-images-2023-02-01T000605.549-720x405.jpg\" alt=\"Il valore dell&#039;animale domestico professionale che si siede sopra gli amici o la famiglia\" class=\"wp-image-2092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-images-2023-02-01T000605.549-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-images-2023-02-01T000605.549-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-images-2023-02-01T000605.549-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-images-2023-02-01T000605.549-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-images-2023-02-01T000605.549-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-images-2023-02-01T000605.549-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-images-2023-02-01T000605.549.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-wisdom-of-experience\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Wisdom of Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your friends and family may not be experience with pet care or even know what to do when things don\u2019t go as planned. Professional pet sitters often have years of daily experience with a variety of animals. Their professional judgement is worth its weight in gold when responding to an unexpected crisis or health issue. They are also educated about being proactive about safety issues in the home. For example, they won\u2019t accidentally leave dangerous chemicals out and they\u2019ll be able to spot and fend off situations that could injure your pet. That peace of mind alone is worth the cost of professional care. Certain employees ae also skilled at administering medications and monitoring health status of animals that are ill or aging. Most medications are administered at no extra charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"professional-accountability\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Accountability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the best part of hiring a professional is not having to wonder or worry about the quality of care your pet will receive. You\u2019ll be able to enjoy your time away, be present, and focus because of the technology sitters employ. Upon request we send daily e-mails and pictures so you\u2019ll know your pet is safe and happy. We use Virtual Imprints Wireless technology so that you can see in \u2018real time\u2019 when we arrive and depart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope that you can see the benefits of a certified Professional Pet Sitter and why using one will keep your pet safe and preserve long-term relationships with family and friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1691507615438\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is pet sitting important?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Pet sitting plays a crucial role in ensuring the health, happiness, and comfort of pets while their owners are away.
