In-Your-Home Pet Sitting is a wonderful alternative to boarding your pet in a kennel. And it is growing in popularity.
Kennels can add stress, anxiety and expose your pet to illness and injury. Not to mention your feelings of guilt and worry for having to leave your pet in a strange place, locked in a cage with strange people and animals. And just as daycare, it's not for all pets especially puppies or older dogs. Even the most luxurious kennels or pet hotels pose some risks.
I believe your pet is much more comfortable and happy in their own home. With In-Your-Home Pet Sitting your pet stays in your home, gets visits throughout the day and in some cases can include an overnight stay.
Your pet is safe and taken care of when you are away. Other house sitting type services are also generally included such as mail and newspaper pick up, rotation of lights and in-house plant watering.
In-Your-Home Pet Sitting is a great option to consider for you and your pet. And if you have multiple pets, it usually is the most economical way to go.

Daycare vs. Dog Walking
Dog daycare is great, but not all the time and it’s not for all dogs.
Dog daycare can reinforce undesirable behavior in your dog and may cause anxiety from the ever changing environment of other dogs. Many common dog illnesses and injuries can also be contracted in the daycare environment, making it unsafe for puppies and some older dogs. So you need to make sure you evaluate your dog and determine if a daycare setting is right for them.
Dog walking provides personal and specialized attention for you and your dog while allowing your dog to remain safely in their own home. The entire walking visit can be customized to meet you and your dog's needs. If they need to be fed or require medications, your dog walker generally can accomodate you. It's pretty easy to find a dog walker these days. There are usually several in an area so just do a bit of asking around and you will likely find someone you can trust and your dog will love.
