What’s the difference between pet sitting and boarding
my pet(s)?
Pet sitting provides in-home services. This means that your pet(s) can stay
happy and comfortable while you’re away from home. Keeping your pet(s) on
the same routine as when you’re at home will reduce the stress on your pet(s).
Here are some other differences:
No transporting of your pet(s) - Its more convenient for you. You won't
have to carve time out of your busy schedule to drop off or pick up your pet
from the kennel. V.I.People & Pets comes to your home, reducing the hassle of
crating and hauling your pet(s).
Less risk of sickness - Keeping your pet(s) in your house will keep your
pet(s) in their usual routine, with the sights, sounds and smells to which they
are accustomed, and reducing the risk of stress-related illness. Plus, in-home
care eliminates germs that may be passed around in a boarding setting.
Peace of mind - V.I.People & Pets will provide you peace of mind by meeting
you and your pet(s) before the date of care begins. Getting to know you and
your pet(s) ensures personalized care.
One-on-one time - While at your house, your pet(s) get my full attention.
I’ll give your pet(s) lots of love and attention while providing all the
necessary cleaning, feeding and theft-deterrent services...
Security - Keeping your pet(s) in your home can provide extra security.
Also, while I'm at your home, I’ll bring in the mail, rotate lights, turn TV and
radios on/off as instructed... all as a complimentary service! This will make
your home look lived-in while you’re away.
Your pet(s) will be home, waiting at the door to greet you when you
arrive!
What kind of pets do you care for?
V.I.People & Pets cares for all common household pets. I love to offer
individualized care for your furry/feathered/finned and scaley family
member(s), including dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, ferrets, rabbits,
reptiles, rats, potbellied pigs, Sugar Gliders and more. I will be delighted to
take care of any pet short of milking a cow or feeding a snake that weighs as
much as I do. I even care for stray cockroaches - though they will be
transported to the great wilderness far from your home.
Please contact me if you have a pet not mentioned!
While pet sitting is by far the best choice for most pets, it may not be ideal
for some. Pets with separation anxiety, behavioral issues, or delicate medical
needs may do better in a kennel or veterinary facility.
Why shouldn't I have my neighbor’s child, friend/family
member or a low cost pet sitter watch my pet(s)?
In most cases, you get what you pay for. You won't have to inconvenience
family or friends. While they may mean well, and intend to give excellent
care, sometimes they may fall short of your expectations. Isn't it worth a
little more to ensure your pet(s) and home are in safe hands and that if
something goes wrong, the pet sitter is fully covered? When you hire a
professional pet sitter, it creates a business relationship with clear
expectations for you and your pet sitter. I become quite fond of any pet I
care for and will give them excellent care!
Its my profession to provide loving care to pets and homes.

The in-home consultation gives you the opportunity to meet me, your new

for your family. All the necessary forms will be emailed to you prior to our

sitting appointments, I can keep your key, in a secure lock box.
