Why use a Pet Sitter?
Using a Pet Sitter benefits both you and your pet. So what exactly are the advantages of using a pet sitter over boarding your pet? Here are some points to consider:
*Wags 'N Wings will provide references upon request, so that you can feel absolutely confident that your pet is in good hands.
*In most cases, pet sitters are much less expensive than boarding facilities.
*With a pet sitter, your pet suffers virtually no stress because they are in familiar surroundings and they receive individual, one-on-one attention.
*Surroundings at home are quiet, instead of your pet having to listen to dozens of barking dogs, which can be extremely intimidating to them.
*Shy or smaller dogs aren't stressed by all the bigger dogs around them. Its no fun for Spot the Chihuahua to spend a week in a kennel with Brusier the Rottweiler staring at him.
*When your pet stays home, dietary upset can be avoided because they are eating their regular food. Some boarding facilities won't take the food you bring them, and sometimes they just forget that certain dogs are on a special diet.
*In boarding facilites, cats are usually placed in tiny (approximately 3' x 3') metal cages, with the litter box taking up nearly half of their floorspace! Sometimes the smaller dogs are placed in these types of cages as well.
*At home, your pets will get plenty of play time to stretch their legs and burn off steam! Dogs will get to play in the backyard (if permitted by you). When boarded, a dog maybe gets 10 minutes outside per day.
*Though most kennels follow stringent guidelines for disinfecting and ensuring that all animals are vaccinated, outbreaks of disease occasionally occur.
*A pet sitter will deter burglaries by making your house look "lived in". We will bring in newspapers and fliers, alternate lights and blinds, etc.
*You don't have to take the time to drop off and pick up your pet at the kennel.
*Finally, when you use Wags 'N Wings, you have the peace of mind knowing that your pets are being spoiled and receiving the highest quality care! They will be happy and content as we pamper them in the surroundings they feel most comfortable in - your home!
