A trained pet sitter such as Ms. Stacy (me!) will quickly notice any signs of injury, distress or sickness. We can catch these issues early and address them before they worsen. For you humans, daily pet visits can help keep your house secure. A lived-in appearance can deter potential criminals. We can rotate lights on and off, bring in the mail, etc. That also means we can quickly see and report a break-in, water leak, power outage or other emergency. This can minimize damage and save you A LOT of time and money.

We also ensure doors are locked, thermostats are set correctly, appliances are off and plants are watered. Automation—of thermostats, plant waterers, light timers, pet food dispensers and water fountains—is amazing, but still cannot match the human touch.

So pet visits aren’t just a convenience. They’re a smart method of caring for your animals and protecting your property while you’re away. Whether you’re on vacation, working long hours or dealing with a family emergency, regular visits provide comfort for your pets and peace of mind for you.
