Purrfect Cat Care

 

 

Pet sitting is generally of two types:

  1. We visit your house at specified times to feed, allow bodily elimination, and exercise the pet(s): This is the more popular option with our clients.
  2. We can live at your house while you're away so you're pets have constant companions, or at least night companions.

Some pets can also show signs of stress when their owners are away but they tend to be more relaxed when they are in the familiar surroundings of their own homes.

 

Having PCC (option 2) as a sitter can also have the advantage of protecting the pet your home.

We can collect your newspaper and mail. This reduces "away from home" signals to possible "bad guys". 

Live-in sitters create near normal household activity..

 

Live-in sitters can also care for indoor and outdoor plants without adding significantly to costs. We are also more likely to recognise potential health problems sooner and can arrange for the pets to be seen by your specified veterinarian. My personal experience is that pets with live-in sitters tend to be more relaxed and less subject to separation stress.

 

Imagine being separated from your family, the pack. Confined to a small, unfamiliar area surrounded by strange sights, sounds and smells. Remember, if you're an animal all your senses are heightened a thousand times. This new place may be clean but you can smell many others that were here before. Darkness comes, where's that familiar place gone? Where's my person? Even dinner was different, you want to go home: home where you feel safe and secure! This could be the emotional reality of boarding your beloved pet.

 

It's well documented amongst the Veterinary Profession and Animal Welfare Groups that keeping pets safe and secure in their own environment is by far the better option. Knowing your pet is receiving our individual loving care and attention in their own home brings you enormous peace of mind.

 

7 Reasons why PCC is best for your loved furry family member

  1. Nothing changes for your pet except the human carer, therefore reducing stress
  2. Reduced risk of catching diseases such as kennel cough and gastric problems. These are easily contracted when exposed to other pets in a boarding environment
  3. Existing health issues/medicating cared for and properly administered
  4. One on one supervised care. Should any health issues arise they can be dealt with immediately by your own trusted veterinarian
  5. Individual attention and exercise according to your instructions
  6. A regular familiar routine such as eating schedules, play, toileting, grooming.
  7. Constant communication with your pet sitter. Daily or weekly updates via email/text with photos.

 

Finally,

Purrfect Cat Care gives undivided love and attention. Your pets and home are my priority

I know there are good boarding facilities but many pets especially the very young, very active, nervous, seniors, those with health or special needs, rescued pets and those used to close human contact do much better under our care.
