Why do people need pet sitters?

The principle reasons are their own peace of mind and the physical well being of their pets.

Many pet owners have experienced the problem of an animal coming home sick after a stay in the kennel or veterinarian's office.

With other animals around, there is always the danger of being exposed to disease or illness.

Pet owners are also concerned with their animal's emotional health. Being removed from home, transported, and left alone in a cage - surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of strange animals - is stressful for any pet.

Besides the expense and risk of illness, the number of pets being cared for at one time means very little personal attention can be paid in these circumstances.
