Pets are happiest and least stressed when they are in their own home environment--their "territory." A familiar environment, diet and exercise routine are all essential to an animal's well-being. Eliminating the trauma of being transported in a carrier and minimizing exposure to illnesses from neighboring animals at kennels will make your vacation and your pet's time away from you much happier. Most important, I SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR PETS! I have two cats and a dog, and know how important they are to me, part of my family. If you use me as your pet sitter, you no longer have to impose on family, friends and neighbors. Often, neighbor children are entrusted with care of a pet while the owner is away. This is not the safest option available. Auntie Gail's Pet sitting can provide a variety of other related services for the security and maintenance of your home while you are away. Bonded and insured for peace of mind!
