Dog Sitting

Dog sitting is a service performed by professionals trained in dog care. You can find dog sitting service staff associated with a dog kennel, or dog shelter although there are also dog sitters who work independently and just have a love of these companion animals. Dog sitters may have their own dogs, and rates and services will vary so it is important to consider exactly what you need and how your animal’s needs can be met.

A dog kennel or dog shelter often houses multiple animals and breeds under one roof. This can be a good solution as far as dog sitters go, if your animal is sociable and enjoys being around a lot of dogs at once. Many dog sitting service contracts can be obtained through local dog kennel or dog shelter locations. However, if you prefer in home dog care or dog sitters that have smaller, more intimate dog sitting service options then an independent dog sitter might be the best bet for your pet.

Dog sitters should be well versed in pet care, know how to administer medications if needed, and be willing to feed, water and exercise your dog. A dog kennel or dog shelter will usually have the animals on a schedule for feeding, exercise and even bathing depending on how long of a stay your animal will have and what type of dog care is required. It’s important to use a dog sitting service you trust and that has a solid track record and reputation of pet care.
