Unlike other modalities, when you get a pet sitter, they go to your home to provide the service. This means that when you go away on vacations or because of your job, someone is taking care of your pet in your own home.
Staying in hotels and leaving the house is stressful for many pets. Having a trustworthy person to take care of your beloved animal is the best choice! Most pets- especially cats, birds, reptiles, guinea pigs, and hamsters can get stressed out and scared in a new environment. They may also have restrictions that prevent them from leaving the house- such as a broken paw or illness. Pet sitting improves the life quality of animals who are not well suited for travel.
A pet sitter may even take care of that plant that needs special attention in your absence. After all, every living thing deserves care, affection, and comfort! And pet sitting is the action of caring for these cute creatures that are members of the family!
The sitters from Queen City Pet Sitting are at your disposal to deliver the best job possible. When needed, they can stay overnight or even board your pet at their homes. As part of the services, they can visit your home two, three, or four times a day- dependent upon your request.
At Queen City Pet Sitting we work with people like you: people who love their animals!
All sitters go through a rigorous selection, as well as training to provide exquisite work. These requirements are essential to make pets owners more relaxed- confident in the knowledge that their beloved animals are in good hands!
Pet Sitters: What do we do?
The pet sitter takes care of your pet when you are unable, or helps you perform the necessary actions. They are essentially animal nannies, who carry out activities, daily or occasional, important to your pet’s wellbeing. Here are some examples:
- Wash food and water bowls
- Provide fresh water and food
- Prepare food and feed animals;
- Clean litter box, relief areas, etc. making a correct, hygienic disposal of anything necessary
- Change dressings, diapers, and perform other medical tasks
- Administer or apply medications
- Keep pets company, caring, and playing with them
When hiring a pet sitting service, the sitter offers to go to the pet’s home and establish expectations of care with the owner first. It is essential to make clear the necessary tasks because every pet’s needs are a little bit different!
We strongly suggest that you talk to the pet sitter and arrange a pre-meeting, this way you’ll get to know the designated sitter and see how your pet responds. If everything goes smoothly, the sitter will take care and keep your pet company for about 60 minutes.
Benefits of Hiring a Pet Sitter
Hiring a pet sitter guarantees more comfort and well-being for the animals- mostly because they stay in their territory. Not having to leave the house prevents them from being stressed by travel or unfamiliar environments.
In the daily activities, the sitter will offer your dog water and fresh food. Besides, of course, giving a lot of affection and keeping it company, so they aren’t alone all day.
Pets that spend a lot of time alone may get lonely and depressed, and we don’t want that for them! Some pets may not understand when you leave for a vacation or spend a lot of time out of the house. They may think that you are leaving them for good! Having a trusted person to keep them company can seem very simple, but will make pets happier and healthier.

Some people think that cats do not require as much attention as other pets, but the pet sitting work can show a different perspective.
Small things like just changing the litter box are necessary. These tasks maintain the cat’s life quality and mood- also reducing the risk of diseases.
Many cats refuse to use the litter box if it’s dirty, causing problems like urinary infection. So, even though they are independent animals, they also require attention.
Our pet sitters are trained to care for even more exotic pets. Imagine how happy your bird could get if it was able to play in the cool water, or how your hamster would feel with a clean cage and some cuddles.
With pet sitting, you may rest assured that there will be a specialized professional giving your pet the best possible care. When you return home, you won’t have to deal with behavior problems like excessive anxiety or sadness. You will be able to keep your daily routine going because for them- it will feel like you have never left!
