Pet sitting is a service where a caregiver looks after pets in their own home or the pet's home while the owner is away. This can include feeding, walking, and providing companionship to pets like dogs, cats, and other small animals. Pet sitters ensure that pets receive the care and attention they need, maintaining their routine and environment. Many pet owners choose pet sitting as an alternative to boarding facilities, as it allows pets to stay in a familiar setting. Pet sitters may also provide additional services, such as administering medication or taking pets to the vet. This helps to keep pets healthy and happy during their owner's absence.
