7 Reasons to choose In-Your-Home Pet Care
1) Less stress on your pet
4) Health Risks
5) Building a Rapport
• Your pet gets to stay in its own familiar environment
where all smells, sounds and surroundings say “Home!”
• Your pet will be less likely to have separation anxiety
when cared for at home. Separation anxiety can cause a pet to not eat, sleep, have
an upset belly, and possibly even developed behavioural issues due to stress.
• There won’t be unfamiliar pets that may be noisy, and
disrupt your pet’s regular routine.
• There will not be several different staff members
coming and going, but rather one consistent sitter entering your home.
2) Diet, Exercise & TLC
• Your pet remain on its regular routine (i.e. feeding,
walking, playtime schedule will not be interrupted).
• All your pet’s favourite toys, bed and treats will be
accessible.
• Your pet’s customary diet will be unchanged.
3) Avoid “Travel Trauma”
• Transporting your pet can often cause you and your pet
stress before a vacation.
• Pets are often noisy during the car ride, and can also
sometimes urinate or defecate in their crate due to the stress of not knowing
where they are going and why they are being removed from their regular
environment.
• There is no need to have to worry about transporting
your pet to any facility when your pet gets to stay at home.
• With in-your-home pet care, you avoid any risk of
exposure to other animals’ illnesses (e.g. kennel cough or fleas).
• If your pet has health concerns of its own, or
medications involved, you can be sure that your professional sitter will follow
the specific routine involved in tending to the specific health concern (i.e.
medication and medical treatments will be administered promptly at the
requested time by your qualified sitter).
• Often times, pets can develop stress related illnesses
such as; loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting and/or anxiety issues due to the
stressful environment of a kennel or being in unfamiliar surroundings.
• With in-your-home pet sitting, your pet will have the
opportunity to bond with the pet sitter, and receive love and undivided
attention from him/her.
• When using the service on multiple occasions, we always
pass your request on to the previous sitter to accept your request in order to
keep consistency with the sitter that you and your pet have already established
a bond with. After a short time, your pet will be accustomed to seeing
their new friend each time you are away on vacation, and seeing their sitter
will become routine.
6) Emergencies
• Your LP&HS sitter will provide you with a Vet
Notification card (to drop off at your Vet prior to your vacation) during the
Meet & Greet consultation in case an emergency arises while you are away.
This reassures and notifies your veterinarian that your pet is in good hands
while you’re away.
• This free card from LP&HS lets you notify your
Veterinarian that you are using our services, that you authorize us to act as
your representative and make decisions with your Veterinarian to stabilize your
pet's health during an emergency situation, and that the Veterinarian may
provide stabilizing treatment up to a dollar amount specified by you on the
card.
• Most of our sitters are Pet First Aid Certified, is
familiar with the content of the LP&HS Emergency Handbook for protocols and
access to experts with years of experience in the pet care field.
7) House Care & Security
• Added benefit of having your sitter water plants &
bring in the mail.
• Crime deterrence and home safety daily home inspection.
Should something become suspicious around your home or she/he finds a burst
water pipe, your sitter will take precautionary action, and call your emergency
contact or the police.
