What is Pet Sitting?
Pet
Sitting is defined as "the act of caring for
a pet in its own home while the owner is away".
It's a popular myth
that sitters need keys to your home - this is not
true!
If your sitter can care for the animals from outside
the home this is just fine. However to receive the
additional security benefits a visit from an anzpetsit
member brings, such as alternating lights to retain
the homes 'lived-in' look, a key is necessary.
A standard service from an anzpetsit member will include the following:
- Feeding your pets
- Washing up dishes and providing clean water
- Administering medication (if needed)
- Changing of kitty litter if caring for a cat
- Emptying of the letterbox
- Bringing in newspapers
- Home and yard security check
- Alternating lights on/off to ensure the property looks 'lived-in'
- Opening and closing of curtains (if needed)
- Take garbage bins to and from the kerb (if needed)
- Watering plants (if needed)
- Giving treats (if allowed)
- And most importantly, lots of love and attention
