The pet sitter you hire for your weekend excursion or longer vacation should promise reliable communication and stick to the visiting schedule you establish. They should also be ready to respond in an emergency, making sure your pet is well looked after.
We text, call, and communicate however clients prefer while offering pet sitting services. We alert clients in the event of an emergency with their pet, and can even extend pet sitting services if the client experiences an emergency or delay and cannot return home when expected. No matter how long you need coverage, you can get it at transparent rates from Critter Sitters. The total cost depends on how many pets you have and how many daily visits they require, and we can discuss all this during the orientation at your home.
Call (404) 793-6178 to schedule visits with our pet sitters for dogs and cats.
What Should My Pet Sitter for Dogs and Cats Do?
You should be able to depend on the pet sitter you hire to watch your cat or dog, and we are dedicated to making sure you feel comfortable leaving your pet in our care.
Reliably Communicate
Communication is one of the most important attributes owners look for in a pet sitter. We aim to accommodate whatever communication style makes you feel most comfortable, whether that is calls or text messages. Our sitters also send photos and videos of pets while walking, eating, and playing so their owners can see how well they are doing with their own eyes.
On top of your cellphone number, you can give us the information of the hotel you are staying at or the phone numbers of people you are vacationing with. That gives us multiple ways to contact you if we cannot reach you by your phone.
Regularly Visit
Your sitter should also regularly visit your pet and stick to the schedule you approved. Many cats only need two visits from sitters each day to eat and socialize, while others want more human interaction and would benefit from three to four visits per day.
Your sitter should also perform all tasks they agreed to during each visit, such as turning lights on and off, feeding your pet, and playing with your dog or cat. Tell us if your pet likes to play specific games at specific times, like if your cat enjoys play hunting before mealtimes.
Respond in an Emergency
Any pet sitter you hire to care for your beloved pet should respond promptly in the event of an emergency. Rather than panicking, we can take your pet to the emergency vet for immediate medical attention. We will also promptly contact you via call or text and bring you up to speed on the situation.
How Long Can Pet Sitters Watch Dogs and Cats in Stockbridge, GA?
Our pet sitters routinely handle weekend trips out of town and much longer vacations. This means you can schedule dependable pet sitting services with us, no matter how long you need coverage in Stockbridge.
When you initially meet with your sitter during the free at-home orientation, tell them how long your trip is. While your sitter will anticipate coverage ending on the date you return home, we can accommodate you if an unforeseen issue arises, such as a delayed flight, and you need additional visits to ensure your pet’s safety. Our sitters are flexible, making our services even more convenient for clients.
Is Pet Sitting for Dogs and Cats Affordable?
Hiring pet sitting services is often more affordable than the main alternative option owners have when they leave town, which is boarding their pets. Instead of spending too much to put your dog in a kennel or entrusting a friend who lacks experience taking care of animals to watch your pet, turn to Critter Sitters’ services in Stockbridge.
Our base rate for pet sitting starts at $26 for the first animal per visit, whether it is a cat or a dog. If you have several pets, there is a small $3 fee per visit for an additional cat and a $4 fee for an additional dog.
Not only is pet sitting often more affordable than boarding your dog in a kennel, but it may also be the safest option for your dog. Rather than being exposed to rowdy, potentially ill, dogs at a kennel, your pet gets to stay in the comfort and safety of its own home when you choose our pet sitting services.
How Can I Schedule a Pet Sitter for Dogs and Cats in Stockbridge, GA?
Get in touch to schedule a pet sitting for your dog or cat in Stockbridge. For an opportunity to discuss the visiting schedule and ask all the questions you may have, we offer a free at-home orientation with a sitter so you can make your expectations clear.
You may schedule last-minute coverage from our pet sitters by becoming a key client. Instead of having to meet up ahead of time to hand your house key over to your sitter, you can leave a key with them after establishing a trusting relationship. Not only does becoming a key client make scheduling long-term pet sitting easier, but it also means your sitter can perform dog walking services if you need to stay later at the office or have an impromptu event that keeps you away from home longer than you anticipated.
We take care to lock doors when we leave clients’ homes, and we do not drive branded cars or wear uniforms that make it obvious the owner is not present.
We make schedule pet sitting visits and dog walking services simple, and encourage clients to reach out, even if they need coverage within the next few days.
