Introduction: When traveling, whether it is for pleasure or business, there is always some measure of stress for you as well as your pet. The experienced pet sitters of Alone At Home, Inc. can assist in eliminating some of that stress. Knowing you're leaving your pet in his own environment with bonded, insured, licensed, and Red Cross animal first aid-trained experts gives you the mental freedom kennels can't. Leaving a pet in his own home without interfering in his routine lessens anxiety and stress they face during your absence. Pet sitters make visits everday to your home, ensuring your pet's routine is not interrupted. Why you should use Alone At Home, Inc.? * Stress reducer: Your pet is at home with a trusted professional. Your best friend's routine doesn't change, and he/she can be confident they have not been abandoned. * The healthy choice: Customized diet, exercise, and medication routines are adhered by the sitter. Your pet will not be exposed to kennel illnesses, such as parasites or the common kennel cough. * Travel trauma: You may choose a kennel, but just the experience of getting there, and then the change in routine causes undue and unlimited amounts of anxiety for your pet. At a kennel or boarding facility, your pet may be left alone in small, cramped, caged quarters for long stretches of time. They may not get the necessary exercise and TLC they require. Undivided, individual attention: Our pet sitters consider belly rubs, behind-the-ear tickles, and infinite petting a necessary part of their job. What are the advantages Alone At Home, Inc. provides? * An enjoyable trip: You won't have to transport your pet to a facility, and then leave him there, whining or crying for you. You will travel knowing your pet is at home, in his routine. We provide e-mail updates or a blog where you can check your pet's daily activities. Your mind is free to concentrate on your business or vacation. * No one forgets your pet: Well-meaning relatives or neighbors who promise they'll feed and walk your pet could forget, or they won't properly follow specialized instructions. This just doesn't happen with Alone At Home, Inc. professionals. * Specialized services and security: While spending time with your pet, our experienced sitters can do some of your regular household work, assuring your pet that all is normal and you'll be home soon. We clean pet hair from carpets and furniture, water plants, and check the mail. In some cases, special arrangements are required. Our sitters will offer overnight visits for your pet. We are not only making your pet more secure emotionally, but they're securing your home from possible theft with their occupation and visits.

When I left home today I told my 2 kitty girls their "better" mother would be visiting them...Kathleen's social visits help all of us cope with stresses of life and being away from home long hours. In the past elderly family members needed our attention and our own family was shorted. The girls now have a consistent life and friendship with Alone at Home whether we are working, take a short road trip or a longer vacation. We just go - the house is minded/secure, mail brought in, fresh water/food appears in their bowls, toys are scattered everywhere - we come home to happy kitties who can talk to us about their day. We are parents with peace of mind and satisfied pets.

When I relocated to the northwest suburbs from Georgia several years ago, it was easy to find a new dentist and a new salon, but not so easy to find a really great pet sitting service for my cat, Marcel. I needed someone I knew I could count on to really care about my cat and also trust in my home. I tried two other service providers before finding the perfect one: Alone At Home Pet Sitting. Alone At Home Pet Sitting provides superior service, including bringing cat nip and toys to entice my sometimes-timid cat to come out for attention, and they take pictures of my cat to email to me during each visit so I know for certain they've been to my house to care for him. They keep him fed and watered and his litter box clean, and most important, they interact with him and genuinely care about his happiness and well-being! They provide good service to my cat and peace of mind to me!

I travel for business, and Alone at Home is a godsend. I've been working with them for over a year, and they consistently go above and beyond. Kathleen, the owner, truly cares about the animals. Once when my cat was ill, she made an extra trip to the house just to make sure he was doing OK, and kept in contact with me on his condition. When I came home from this trip, I found Kathleen and the cat sitting quitely, she was petting him, and it was a genuine moment of caring for a sick animal. The service has been very responsive. I get great text message updates -- with photos -- when I'm gone so I feel as if I'm still connected to the cats. I've shared my experience with others who employ pet sitters, and Alone At Home is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of the quality of care. I cannot say enough about how much peace of mind I have when I leave home now. I never worry about the well being of my cats. Totally professional and very caring. What more can you want?

This was our first time using Alone at Home Pet Sitting. A very professional, well managed service. Upon arrival, Kathleen immediately made friends with Bell, our dog, who then sat beside her the whole time we discussed the arrangements. She visited 3 times a day for 5 days and texted us pictures of Bell at each visit. She kept us informed if she needed to vary the schedule. Price was reasonable.

This is a wonderful service. Kathleen is so professional. She even knows doggie CPR (just incase). My dogs really love her. My Border Collie was territorial and somewhat fear aggressive with her when she first entered our home. She immediately dropped to one knee, spoke in a high pitched voice and held out her arm--hand closed, palm facing down, for him to sniff. Within 5 minutes, he was licking her face! She clearly speaks dog.
