Pet Sitting Rates Need To Be Very Reasonable

By Nita McKinney


Planning the annual family vacation includes many things. One not only has to make sure that the accommodation is seen to as well as the entertainment for the whole 3 weeks, but also the pets. You do not always want to take them with you and in many places they are not permitted, which means that you either have to have them kenneled or baby sat by a service with good pet sitting rates.

Your animals are also part of the family, but many vacation resorts do not allow for them to be there and besides that, you have the birds and the cats as well as the dogs. This means that you have to find a kennels for the dogs, a cattery for the cats and someone who will look after the birds for 3 long weeks. There are many things to think about when it comes to your best friends.

For the dogs and the cats there are boarding kennels and catteries that will do such jobs, but most times the animals do not do well at these places. They tend to miss the owners a great deal and stop eating. Some of them lose a lot of weight and condition while their owners are away and many of them suffer from depression as well.

Such places are usually very well kept and the animals are well looked after, buy they simply cannot keep the animals happy. Most of the time, people who send their animals to such places worry about their pets all the time while they are away. This makes the holiday a little short lived in some cases.

There are many people and pets who have had to go through this terribly traumatic experience of being separated with the animals in strange environments and for many it is not a good memory, but there is also some good news to go with that. Nowadays there are people who will come to your home for the duration of your holiday and look after your pets for you. This way the animals do not even have to step out of the door.

When it comes to such supervision, it means that your animal will not be stressed by having to be in a cage. He will be fed the same food everyday just as you do. There will be someone at home with him at night and he will not have to be alone in the dark as he would have to be in the kennels.

Should you be looking for someone to do this, you would do well asking at the local veterinary clinic as many people advertise their services there. This is not just a house sitting service that they offer, but also the supervision of your animals. Obviously they do not come cheap, as they will be responsible for the upkeep of your pets.

By getting someone like this, at the best pet sitting rates, you will be able to go on holiday and check in on the animals every day, if you wish. You could rest assured that everything at the house is in good order and that the animals are happy. Of course these are not inexpensive services, but one will do anything when it comes to the safety and happiness of your animal friends.
