The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Pet Sitter

 

 Pet Sitting offers unique and tailor-made care for your pet,

with added value.

 

1. Environment: Most important- your pet stays in their own familiar environment. Pets can stress out over traveling to the kennel and then staying in a new location. There are different smells, sounds and sights- all of this is difficult for your pet. On top of that, there’s no “you” to soothe their fears and discomfort. A Pet Sitter comes to your pet, not the other way round. Pets stay happy and comfortable in their own home.

2. Safety: Pet Sitters do more than just feed and water your pet. We pick up the mail, water the plants, turn lights on and off, change blinds and do security checks. In addition, once or twice a day there is a car in your driveway while you are out of town. This provides a level of security not found with boarding. “Bad Guys” want easy targets, they will move on from a home that is attended, and where folks are seen to be coming and going.

3. Peace of Mind: You want to enjoy your vacation- you’ve earned it! If your out of town on business, you've got enough on your mind! With a reliable Pet Sitter you know the pets and home are under control. Chapman’s Casa and Critter Care Service is insured to protect your pets, home and belongings. We have references from professional people who can vouch for our character and trustworthiness.  Call us for an In-Home consultation and give us an hour of your time, we’ll give you Peace of Mind.

 

The costs associated with boarding a pet can vary greatly depending on the accommodation size, the number of pets and the type of pet. There are a dizzying array of rates out there, and some kennels don’t provide up-front pricing on their websites, instead you have to call for rates. We don't charge for extra animals- you're paying for our time. That time is spent doing exactly what you need us to do- take care of your pets and home. 

 

Following is a rate comparison for boarding your pet versus hiring a Pet Sitter.

 

The average cost of boarding in this geographical area is about $29.66 per day. This is not scientific, just an average of the overnight costs for 1 dog at 4 area kennels (that provided up-front pricing). Add another pet, special needs or medicine administration and this average can increase significantly.

 

The average cost of one visit per day from Chapman’s Casa and Critter Care Service is $25.00. This includes feeding, playtime, walking, kitty litter and doggy business clean up, one-on-one companionship, oral medicine and/or vitamins, additional pets, mail pick up, plant watering and home security checks; all in the comfort of your pet's natural environment.
