Home Pet Sitting vs. Kennels

​

Why choose in home pet care with Critter Sitter of Cary instead of kennel boarding?

​

"For some pets, it’s far less stressful to be in their own home and following their regular routine instead of being stuck at a kennel. Plus, many pet sitters provide additional services, like collecting the mail, watering gardens, watering indoor plants, rotating blinds all the things that keep your home safe while you’re gone."

With the understanding that some dogs do great at kennels, you have made the right choice to learn more about in-home pet care with Critter Sitter of Cary. The benefits to pet-sitting vs. kennel boarding for you and your pets are tremendous. The primary benefit is that your pets will be able to stay in their own home where they are most comfortable and secure.



" In-home pet sitting is often cheaper than boarding if you have multiple pets, it is possibly more expensive if you have one pet and need multiple visits a day. This is a very personal choice. Comparing pet sitting to boarding is like comparing a cold outdoor shower with a nice warm bubble bath."



In-home pet care eliminates most of the stress your pets feel when you leave them for short or long periods of time. 

 

When Pet Sitting is a Good Option

​

"Do you have multiple dogs, cats, and other pets? If so, pet sitting may be a good fit. Dogs who have a companion or two won’t feel as lonely as they would if they’re the only pet. And if your dogs are older, letting them stay in familiar surroundings will prevent them from getting stressed. If you have house cats who like to do their own thing when you’re home, having a sitter who can visit them once or twice a day may be all you need.

​

Whether you choose to have your pet stay at a boarding facility or hire a pet sitter, making sure your pet is “in good paws” will give you peace of mind while you’re away."
