What to look for in a Pet Sitter

Your pets deserve the very best when it comes to care, even when you’re away. Bark is able to put you in touch with professionals who can visit your pets at your home, or live with them for the duration. Whatever your particular animal need, there is an expert for you. Does your dog need a kennel for a week? Perhaps your feline needs a cattery for a long weekend? Or maybe your prized python just needs someone to feed it once a week. There are specialists that are able to offer you a wide range of services for different durations.

You want to make sure that your choice of pet sitter is equipped to handle the task and treat your pet as an individual. This is why Bark gives you the chance to explore professional profiles, examine previous client comments, and speak to the sitter directly. You can rest assured that you’re leaving your pet in the best of hands.

Pamper your pets

Why should your pets miss out on a relaxing break when you’re away? Find a sitter that is able to provide them with all the care and attention they need whilst you soak up the sun. If your animal has special needs such as a regular medication, a sitter will ensure that they get it. Professional pet sitters can also provide additional services such as grooming, washing, and walking.

What can a Pet Sitter offer me?

Pet sitters are masters at making your pets happy. They are able to relieve separation anxiety, make sure they are well-fed and sheltered, and supply some well-deserved treats. Ensuring the safety and comfort of your pet is of pivotal importance when you’re travelling or unable to provide them with the care they deserve for a few days. Life is busy and seldom stationary, but having a pet doesn’t have to put a cap on your opportunities or adventurous spirit.

Pet minding gives you the flexibility you need to have pets and an active life. Cat boarding is available and dog sitting can be arranged for as long or as short as you need. If you find yourself needing to be away for business, a pet sitter can offer a service so you’re pets don’t even realise you’re gone.

What do you love most about your job?

Working as a pet sitter means I get to spend all my time working with my favourite animals. Dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, gerbils, snakes, lizards, even tarantulas, I love them all! I also know how difficult it can be as a pet owner to enjoy things such as holidays or getting away for the weekend, so being able to give that option to people is very satisfying.

Are there any particular animals that you specialise in?

I am proficient in caring for many different species, most commonly dogs and cats, but also reptiles. When it comes to dog sitting, I have extensive experience in caring for various different breeds – from Labradors and German Shepherds to Boston terriers and chihuahuas. Whether you would prefer me to perform daily house visits for you or if you want to leave your pet with me, I’m set up to cater to your needs.

Why should clients choose you?

I have a great number of repeat clients who use my services regularly and (hopefully) that speaks for itself. I offer a diverse level of flexibility in what I can provide. Whether you need someone to look after a puppy for a few hours or care for your cat for a two-week period, I can do it. It’s also incredibly helpful to have a sitter looking after your animal during times such as moving house – one less thing to worry about! I am experienced in looking after more specialised pets such as snakes and turtles which can require bespoke care. My workspace is set up with the care of different animals in mind, so you can rest assured in the quality of their care, particularly if your pets are staying with me.

Natalie was an absolute gem while staying in our home for two weeks. She took care of our two fur babies, Jasper and Nina, and treated them like her own! Safe to say, we came back to two very spoiled dogs who now expect walks twice a day. When we returned, they were not even excited to see us—they were sad that Natalie and her partner had left! Natalie is a wonderful pet-sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly love your pets.

Working with BonaFido Dog Training was such a great experience from start to finish (this is not the end, we will definitely be adding more sessions!) Natalie is great at what she does, she explains everything thoroughly and is very open and honest. She gives us the space to learn and teach our dog. She also shows great love to Mello and I can see her love for animals and why she does what she does. She takes the time to learn your pet first, see their triggers and then helps you figure out the best way for you and your pet to overcome those triggers and learn the best manners !!! I would highly recommend you train your pup (or dog) with BonaFido Dog training!!

Dion is absolutely incredible. He truly goes over and above what is required of him! Helping us with so much more that providing our fur babies with love, attention and freedings. He truly is an animal lover and kept us up to date with photos and updates throughout his stay. I would recommend Pet Mind to anyone who asks!!
