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.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Natalie, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From our first session, her professionalism and genuine love for dogs were evident. She took the time to understand my dog's unique needs and tailored her approach accordingly. Natalie's training methods are both effective and compassionate, fostering a positive learning environment. My dog has shown improvement, and I feel more confident in handling and understanding him. If you're looking for a skilled and caring dog trainer, Natalie is an excellent choice! Thank you Natalie, you truly are a gem!

Jess was amazing from the first day we met. I could tell she loved animals and that this was a passion and not just something to make money. She came to meet us and brought a book and made notes of everything, I loved that, made me feel relaxed. Throughout the trip she sent me pictures which was awesome cause I missed my doggies. I highly recommend Jess to each and everyone :)

Recommending tracking and monitoring suspected cheating wife,Technology can be really really beguiling. There are so many apps and what not that promise awesome results if you can just get hold of your spouse’s device. This has always been a huge limitation for me as I’ve always wanted to see everything in my spouse’s device without getting hold of her phone or her finding out. She began acting suspicious and being all secretive and I decided that something drastic had to be done. A colleague of mine at work suggested that if I want to get court admissible information, I would need to hire a hacker. He proceeded to recommend Faz and I wrote to him at TARGETSPYTECH @ gmailcom. I carefully explained my hunch in the email, I provided the information that was required and we agreed on an affordable fee. Within few hours, I had complete access to her phone conversations, her location, photos and videos, and call log. I was also able to know where she was exactly in real time as it was happening!! All I saw broke me into smithereens. I talked with my attorney and filed for a divorce as soon as I could. With Faz’s expert help , I knew who she really was and how much I had been played without having physical access to her phone. If you find yourself in this quagmire or you require this type of service, why don’t you write to him? He’s an expert in the field
