Do you lot do pet intendance out of your dwelling? Or do you come to mine?
Considering I am heavily involved with rescue and accept several pets of my ain, I am unable to bring clients' pets into my home on a regular basis. In my experience, pets are more comfy in their own domicile. They are excited when I arrive to feed them and walk them and spend time with them, and when I get, they can go dorsum to sleeping in their own bed, where they are comfy and happy. For pet sitting that does not include overnight care, information technology is our policy to exercise no less than every 24-hour interval for cats (every other day is acceptable for semi-ferals) and no less than 3 visits per day for dogs, 4 visits minimum for seniors, puppies, pocket-size breeds and crated/bars dogs.
