Fulfilling a massive requirement throughout all areas of the UK, pet sitters and dog walkers are kept busy all year round with many different tasks and desires from pet owners. With so many pet owners out at work all day, dog walkers are kept busy exercising, and maybe even feeding a dog or cat once a day to keep the animal happy until the owner gets home. This service isn’t necessarily confined to dogs or cats – feeding fish, birds or reptiles can also be included.
Pet sitting is an alternative form of animal care to taking a much loved best friend to a kennel or cattery for the holiday duration. Pet sitters will actually take a dog, cat or other animal into their own home during a longer period of absence, and will care for them in a friendly and natural way. It doesn’t matter if it’s the children’s pet hamster or the family dog, cat or parrot – someone will be happy to look after them for as long as required.
Various organisations such as NARDS – the Nationwide Associates of Registered Dog Sitters assist professional dog sitters and walkers with help, support and up to date advice on all aspects of care. With animal ownership increasing every year, pet sitters and dog walkers are ensured of busy times.
