In 2005, I started my own personal assistant business. Pet-sitting is one of the
services I decided to offer simply because I love animals and know from experience
with my own dogs and cats, they are always much happier in their own home than being
boarded in unfamiliar surroundings with people they don't know or trust. Our pets
enrich our lives in so many ways, they deserve to receive the best possible in-home
care, even when their owners cannot be there to do it themselves.
What does a pet sitter do?
Caring pet owners know that most pets adjust better to their owner’s
absence and experience less anxiety and stress when they can remain
in their home environments. Pet sitters make this possible with daily
visits to your home. In addition to meals, exercise, playtime, and
cleaning litter boxes or cages, professional pet sitters may also
administer medications, walk dogs, and perform other pet-care duties.
That’s why in-home pet care is the choice of pet owners and the
“pet-preferred” method of vacation and travel care. Pet sitters
may also provide vital home-care services while you are away,
including mail or newspaper pick up, placing trash outside for
pickup or rotating the lights and opening or closing the blinds
to make your house look lived in. A professional pet sitter provides
peace of mind for everyone.
Pet Sitting: Provide food, fresh water, clean litter and attention to your pets.
Daily Dog Walks: A 20-minute walk for your dog (weather permitting)
Pet Taxi: Transportation for your pet to and from the veterinarian, groomer, kennel, family, friends, or any other location.
Food and Supplies: Includes purchase and delivery.
These are some of the pets I sit with & adore.

How does this service work?
Your personal pet sitter arrives at
your home for each visit. During this time, your pets are played with, cuddled,
loved and talked to. Dogs can be walked upon request and all standard pet care
is administered: Feeding, watering, litter scooping for cats and clean up of
cages or accidental messes in the house. Runs are also scooped. Home care is
included with all pet sitting fees. This means that your mail and newspapers
and any package deliveries left at the door will be brought in. In addition,
indoor and outdoor plants can be watered and your trash taken out on pick-up
day and cans brought back in. We are happy to set your security alarm.
How many visits a day does my pet need?
How many visits a day your pet(s) require will be determined according to the type
of pet(s), how they are confined and if there is availability of doggie-doors (pet
doors). Special needs, such as medications or special treatments and the time
schedule for these are also taken into consideration. Some homes require one
visit per day, others two or three. These details will be discussed with you
during your initial consultation to decide whether one, two, three or more
visits are needed on a daily basis.
How will I be charged for services & when do I pay?
Services are charged according to the type of service and our fee schedule. All
services include pet and home care. (FYI: caged birds and aquariums are considered
one pet each). Payment is due at the completion of service for the entire pet-sit
assignment. An invoice will be left behind, dropped off or mailed to you and you
can make your payment by cash, check, or pay online with PayPal.
What specific services do you offer?
EasyDuzIts Pet Sitting Service specializes in caring for your pets in your own home
during weekend get-away's, vacations anytime of the week or year and holiday travel.
We also look after your pets during times of owner illness or injury where routine
care for your pet might be disrupted or impossible to give until your recovery.
I offer:
Personalized pet sitting in your home. Midday dog walking and puppy potty breaks.
Administer medications, including injections. (Note: your animal must not hide or
be overly shy or aggressive of people for this service). Euthanization assistance;
Losing a loved one is never easy - when the time comes for a pet to be put down,
I'm available to either assist you in making one last trip to the vet, or if you
prefer, I can handle the entire situation on your behalf.
Will my pets and I meet the pet sitter before service starts?
Yes! In fact, this is a requirement before pet sitting services can begin. All new
clients will be scheduled for a free initial consultation and interview. During this
time, the sitter will meet with you and have an opportunity to interact with the pets
and be able to go over all contracts, policies and guidelines. Home care and pet care
details, including how many visits a day, will be discussed and your pet sits are
scheduled accordingly. The consultation and initial paperwork will only need to be
done once. After that, simply call or use the web site to order pet sit services in
the future!
What happens when I get back from my trip?
If you have been out of town on a trip, you are required to call upon your return to
let the pet sitter know that you are taking over the care of your pets. If the pet
sitter does not hear from the owner or other designated responsible party, pet sitting
services will continue as previously scheduled and will be charged at the applicable
current rates. By the same token, if you are stranded due to airport delays, poor
weather or other reason that delays your expected return home, you can rest easy
knowing that your pets will not be abandoned and care will not be suspended. Make
every attempt to contact the pet sitter by telephone or email immediately if a
problem arises to update the status of your situation.
Will people I don't know come to my home?
Absolutely not! We take the security, safety and privacy of your home very seriously.
Currently, I am the only person that personally performs services for the care of your
pets and home. While this situation is unlikely, please bare in mind it is possible that
I can experience a personal emergency - if this situation should arise, I do utilize a
back-up [my husband, Dan]. EasyDuzIts Pet Sitting Service carries commercial liability
insurance and is bonded for your added protection and peace of mind.
Is Tipping my pet sitter customary?
Gratuities are optional, but are a nice show of appreciation in this most unique service.
Why should I hire a professional?
Professional pet sitters are just what the description implies – professional. While
having friends, family, or neighbors care for your pets may seem like a logical choice,
professional pet sitters do this for a living and have the experience necessary to care
for your animals. All of our members are insured and collect sales tax. This means that
you can trust us to act responsibly when we enter your home. Since this is our job,
you can count on us to be there.
What are the advantages for my pet?
* Reduced Stress. Your pet stays in its own familiar secure environment where all the sights, smells and sounds say “Home!”
* Diet and Exercise. Customary diet and exercise routines are followed, with no interruption to upset your pet.
* No “Travel Trauma.” Travel in a vehicle to boarding facility or kennel may upset your pet.
* Health Concerns. With a pet sitter, there is minimal exposure to illness of other animals.
* TLC. Most importantly, your pet receives love and personal attention while you are away.
What are the advantages for me?
* Travel. You won’t be inconvenienced or upset by transporting your pet.
* No Imposition. You don’t have to impose on a friend, neighbor or relative to care for your pet, but instead rely on a pet care professional who will put you pet’s needs first.
* Security. Your home is made more secure by the crime deterrent services provided by most pet-sitting services.
* Peace of Mind. While you’re away, you can feel confident your pet is in capable, caring hands.
* Special Services. Pet sitters can provide additional home services while caring for your pet, such as bringing in the mail and newspaper.
How do I prepare my home and pets for a pet sitting service?
Preparation can make a big difference in how smoothly things go for your pet when the pet sitter comes to visit.
Here are some tips:
* Call your pet sitter before you leave town to confirm travel dates and contact information while you are away.
* Make sure the pet sitter has a phone number where you can be reached, as well as a local emergency contact number.
* Provide the pet sitter with a house key. If you wish to provide a garage door opener, give the sitter a back up key as well, just in case of a power outage. If you have new keys made, try them out to make sure they work.
* Make sure to test the alarm system, and provide your pet sitter with both the keypad code, as well as the spoken password, in case of a false alarm.
* Clean litter box(s) and food / water dishes before leaving town.
* Provide extra food, litter and other supplies just in case you’re not able to return when planned.
* Clean out the refrigerator to avoid smelly food spoilage and wash the dishes in the sink to prevent ants, flies or other pests.
* Adjust the thermostat to keep the house comfortable for the pet during your absence. In warm weather, a closed-up house can get dangerously hot in a short time.
* Leave a list of phone numbers in case the pet sitter needs to contact service or maintenance companies while you are away; I.e., plumber, electrician, cleaning service, yard maintenance, pool service, etc.
* Tell the pet sitter of any household areas that are off-limits to your pets or to the pet sitter. Secure access to those areas before leaving home.
What can I do to help my pet sitter take the best care of my pets?
* You can help your pet sitter be a better friend to your pet by making sure there are no problems while you are away. Planning and preparation in the following areas will smooth the way:
* Tell the pet sitter about all health problems your pet may have—major or minor, past or present.
* Provide written verification that your pet is up to date on its vaccinations.
* Make sure your dog’s collar fits—Otherwise he may slip out of a too-large collar while being walked.
* If your dog is not accustomed to walking on a leash, practice with him before you leave.
* Make a list of your pet’s favorite hiding places. This will prevent the pet sitter from worrying if your pet is not where expected—the sitter will know where to look.
* Provide your own preferred method of flea control, even if your pets are currently flea free. Fleas multiply rapidly and can become a problem very quickly.
* If you own both dogs and cats, do not ask the sitter to care for the dogs and “just ignore the cats;” in order to save a few dollars. A sitter’s professionalism, ethic responsibility and conscience would not allow the oversight of a cat in need of food, medical care or human attention.
* If your dog growls or snaps at a pet sitter during a "get-acquainted visit,” understand that the pet sitter may ask that you make other arrangements for your dog’s care during your absence.
* Be honest about your pet’s quirks, I.e. A dog that is nervous about having his leash put on, or a cat that does not like to be petted. The more your pet sitter knows, the better equipped she is to care for your pets.
When is it not appropriate to hire a pet sitter?
There are some cases where pet sitting may not be the best alternative for your pet.
Here are some examples.
Most pet sitters are able to give your pet basic oral medication, and many can
administer insulin injections. Some pet sitters can give sub-coetaneous fluids
as well. If your pet is in failing health, or requires more intensive care, we
would suggest boarding your pet at your vet’s office, which can provide 24 hour
care.
If your pet is aggressive, or doesn’t react well to visitors or strange people
entering your house, it would be best to board your pet.
If your pet gets very destructive in your absence, or suffers from severe
separation anxiety, he or she may be better off at a boarding kennel around
other dogs and people.
