Why Snow's Petsitting?

Home is where the heart is!
Most households (over 60%) in the United States have pets. In actuality there are over 100 million cats and dogs, in addition to other pet types; cute and cuddly guinea pigs, aquarium fish, birds, etc. When these pets are in their familiar home environments, they are the most content, according to the American Humane Society.

Traditionally, people could turn to friends, neighbors or professional boarders - which are all options, but not optimal for every pet. Many have found that the best choice to make is to use the services of a professional pet care-giver, such as Snow's Pet Sitting, who comes into the pet's home to provide for the animal's needs while the owner is away.

The comfort and familiarity of the home environment, along with the usual diet and exercise regimen, coupled with the one-on-one attention that Snow's Pet Sitting offers forms the perfect solution from the pet's perspective. Gone are the trauma of extensive transportation or illness exsposure, which benefits both you and your pet, without question.

The in-home answer to the pet-sitting question is wonderful for most owners who can be comfortable themselves, knowing that they don't have to bother their friends or loved ones, nor do they have to be inconvenienced with transport- ation issues. Other benefits and services can be offered, such as bringing in the mail or newspapers, watering plants, or giving special treats to your beloved companion. Our goal is to keep your pet comfortable and cared for.

Advantages for the Pet
Your pet remains in his or her safe, secure environment, where all the sights, smells, and sounds are familiar. The pet follows his or her customary diet and exercise routine and medical treatments. The pet is not exposed to illnesses or parasites from other animals. The pet is not traumatized by travel in a car or unfamiliar environment. The pet receives the love and personal attention it deserves while the you are away, and is a happier pet when you return.

Benefits for the Pet Owner
You are not inconvenienced or upset by having to transport your pet. You do not have to impose on a friend, family member or neighbor (who sometimes forgets). Your home is made more secure by having a care-giver stop by on a regular basis. You can relax, knowing that while you are away your pet is in safe, caring hands.

Give Us Your Pet's History and Habits...
In order to schedule visits, we'll want to know the important routines in your pet's day - eating, sleeping, walking, or playing. We'll want to know about any health problems your pet may have, medication, as well as your desires in case of emergency. Let us know where favorite toys are kept, and where your pet's favorite hiding places are. This will prevent panic by the sitter looking for your pet! Provide some written verification of up to date vaccinations for your pet (tags on collars are good). Provide identification tags on all pets, including cats.

Plan Ahead!
Call to make your pet sitting reservations as early as possible - especially for holiday times. We look forward to meeting with you and your pet and tailoring a program that will satisfy all of your pet care needs while you are away!
