Before any pet sitting booking, we arrange a meet and greet in your home. This is where we get to know you and your pet, and make sure everything feels like the right fit. We’ll talk through your pet’s routine, behaviour, preferences and any specific needs. It’s also your opportunity to ask questions and feel confident that you’ve chosen the right pet sitter, with no pressure to commit.
Following Your Pet’s Daily Routine
One of the biggest benefits of home and pet sitting is that your pet stays in a familiar environment, following their normal routine.
We stick closely to your instructions, including:
● feeding and fresh water
● toilet breaks or litter tray cleaning
● walks, play and companionship
This consistency helps reduce stress and keeps your pet feeling secure while you’re away. If your pet requires medication, this can also be administered with prior agreement as part of our pet sitting services.
Communication and Safety
When you leave your pet with someone else, reassurance matters. That’s why we provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. As trusted pet sitters, your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always our priority. We stay alert to any changes in behaviour or health and act quickly if needed. Alongside caring for your pet, we also take care of your home, making sure everything is left clean, secure and exactly as you’d expect.
