A pet sitter is a person who takes care of pets while their owners are away. This service can include feeding, walking, and providing companionship to animals such as dogs, cats, and other pets. Pet sitters may also clean litter boxes, administer medications, and ensure that pets are safe and comfortable in their home environment. Many pet owners choose to hire a pet sitter instead of using a kennel or boarding facility. This option allows pets to stay in their familiar surroundings, reducing stress. Pet sitters can be found through local services, online platforms, or personal recommendations from friends and family.
