Overview

An in-home sitter is one of the best options for many people in Alberta who are planning on taking a trip and won’t be able to care for their animals. While you may be able to opt for boarding or ask a neighbor to care for your animal in some cases, the professionalism of an in-home sitter combined with the reduced anxiety of staying at home can make in-home sitting the best option for your dog and for yourself. Here are some Calgary pet sitters that can make the process even easier.

The intention behind Peace of Mind Pet and Home Care is to ensure that all animals get the quality care they need when you’re not available. They start with a one-hour sitting visit for all animals, allowing sitters to spend more time with your pets. This can help alleviate stress and prevent aggression. Additionally, you’ll get texts and pictures sent to you during each visit, which can allow you to stay connected with your pets no matter what. Plus, Peace of Mind also provides pet taxi services for grooming, vet appointments, and other needs.

Make sure your pets get the care they need


No matter why you’re looking for this kind of care, there’s a lot of care that animals need every day, and in-home sitting services can help. Before your care services start, however, it’s a good idea to prepare for it. That may mean managing behavioral issues and ensuring that all health concerns are dealt with. If you’re concerned about either of these elements while preparing for in-home sitters, consider booking an online virtual care appointment with Vetster to get some help.
