Benefits Of Contracting A Cat Sitter San Francisco

By Jennie Sandoval


Being the parent to your pet, it is your duty to see to it that these animals are provided with water, food and also the company that they so desire. Many people mistake the fact that cats need independent lives to mean that they need to be healthy. It certainly does not mean that you can be away for three days and just buy food and water supplies. Although these are important, company is another thing that these animals do really appreciate. Therefore, when it comes to bringing in a professional cat sitter San Francisco inhabitants have no option but to bring in an expert.

The truth is that cats need humans perhaps a little more than people tend to realize. With a cat sitter, you can be sure that your cat will get enough water, food and also supervision. These pets are used to human companionship and when there is sudden absence, they tend to be stressed a lot. Also, should there be a case of emergency while you are not at home, a pet sitter will contact a vet.

The rule of thumb is that your cat should never be left alone for over 12 hours. Cats having stricter feeding schedules or those that require medication can only manage to spend only 3 hours on their own. Professional cat sitters normally come to your home at least once a day. But if the health of the cat demands it, they may come more often.

In situations where visits are not regular, there is great chance that this animal can lose its life in emergency cases. The lives of cats can go down more quickly so you need to be very careful. Obviously, regular visitations are mandatory.

Normally, it would require minimum of 30 minutes of a visit by a pet sitter to provide care for one animal per every visit. During the time of the visit, this professional will feed, water as well as change its litter box. Also, cat sitters play with these animals. This means that you have to leave plenty of toys which they will be playing with. Some other toys can keep your pet entertained when it is alone.

An alternative to an expert caregiver is finding someone from your neighborhood. This can be a friend or just a neighbor. Being that this person is still an amateur, there has to be a professional coming at least once in a day. You can trust the medication and fussy eating habits needs of your pet with a professional. If you cannot get a professional, you may consider hiring someone who also owns a cat.

When hiring a professional to take care of your animal, it is important to consider their past experience in dealing with these animals. Ask a professional to refer you to someone. Another thing that has to be considered is whether that person is insured or not.

Although your cat will play while you are away, there will reach time when it becomes lonely. You need to set a timer so as to activate a TV or a radio especially during the time when you interact with it. This can be like at dinnertime. In the absence of a cat sitter San Francisco residents must also call home on their answering machines and leave a message to their cats.
