The Joy of Pet Sitting

Award Winning Pet Sitting Sergvice

The Pet Industry is thriving. The idea travelled from the United States and now Britain’s pet owners are breathing a huge sigh of relief. No more wrestling Kitty into her cat box, or marching Rover into an alien environment where he may be exposed to contagious diseases, sickness or parasites. Granny would also be safe from the constant trips to empty the litter tray and water the roses and the neighbours wouldn’t need to hide from the annual doorbell when next doors suitcases appear down the drive!

For committed animal lovers, this service is long overdue. It affords your pet the opportunity to continue their regular routine and eating habits, owners can enjoy their annual sabbatical in the knowledge that their house is being lived in, plants are being watered and gardens tended whilst they are away.

But what about the pet sitters themselves? For them it is an opportunity not to be missed. The joy of meeting old friends and making new ones, on four legs and on two! Leaving for work  and experiencing a job satisfaction that some of us can only dream about. Indeed, pet sitters will always concur that they would never do anything else!

True, it is strictly a job for dedicated animal lovers, but let us also remember, that this work does not stop on a Friday evening, to be returned to on Monday morning. There are no rest breaks to replenish our batteries! When the phone rings at 10 p.m. on a Sunday evening and its poor Granny who has forgotten her hip operation and is being hospitalised the following day, now panicking about little Kitty, sitting blissfully unaware in front of a roaring fire.

Oh and don’t forget Gertie the Guinea Pig, who has just been violently attacked by Roger the Rabbit, who has happily shared her enclosure for the previous 2 years. Why have they chosen the first day of your sit to act out the Gunfight at the O.K. Coral!

As if the flood in Mrs Smith’s kitchen last week wasn’t bad enough and the broken pump in Mr Brown’s pond, which left 2 prize Koi Carp floundering in a couple of inches of water!

Yes, the pet sitting industry is booming and pet sitters will continue to whistle as they work, knowing that they really wouldn’t be anywhere else in the world and that the holiday they were planning to take, well, that will have to wait yet another year!
