Benefits of Home-based Pet Sitters
Personalised Care – One of the benefits of choosing a Pet Sitter over a kennel is the personalised experience your pet will receive. When you book via PetCloud you get the opportunity to request a full property tour with the Sitter at their home beforehand, this way you can discuss your Pet's Care routine, expectation of daily communication with photo updates, and Next of kin and Veterinary contacts.
Value for Money – Booking Home-based Pet Sitting services is more affordable than leaving your dog at a kennel. You’ll save time and money by choosing a Pet Sitter in your neighborhood. More importantly, your pet will thank you for it!
Less Stressful and More Hygienic – PetCloud Sitters know how to lower your pet’s anxiety while you’re away in a loving home environment, not locked in a cage. If your Pet is used to a calm, home-based, environment - then a Pet Sitters home will be consistent in line with your own type of care. You can book a home without other animals, or have your pet meet the Sitter’s own pets before confirming the booking. You can also book daily dog walks during the stay.
Some kennels engage in a practice called "stacking" during peak holiday periods in order to make more money. This is where they stack multiple crates, containing multiple pets, high to the ceiling, in order to maximise revenue. Staff typically do not stay on site to supervise pets, there is loud barking from stress, and there can be defecation and urination on crate floors, causing dogs to pick up kennel cough.
