FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Pet Sitters International requires many types of continuing education in order to retain certified status
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I had a diabetic cat for 9 years that I could not find anyone to care for while we went on vacation. My husband & I went nowhere in those 9 years. I vowed I did not want that happening to anyone else so I started my business to help pet owners have peace of mind when they travel
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
29 yrs in business! Certified thru Pet Sitters International. Bonded & insured- & the insurance includes your pet while they are in my care! Nominated into the Top 5 for Pet Sitter of the Year 4 years in a row! My prices are per trip with no hidden surcharges. You pay for my time, period. I work alone so you meet me & you know it is me that will be coming into your home. No surprises finding out a stranger had been in your home & possibly not giving your pet the correct care. My prices may be slightly higher than the individual's that advertise but the cost of insurance, membership in PSI, continuing education, supplies to run an office, etc cause that increase but the advantage to you having an experienced professional is more than worth it! Also please verify all information anyone gives you about themselves-anyone can say anything, true, false or misleading & with search engines & websites all those claims can be verified quickly! Don't find out when you've returned from your trip! If you've had a bad experience with a pet sitter-don't give up! Please call me & my references & let's see if I can change that into a wonderful long lasting relationship with me & your pets!
