Sil and his family has taken great care of my furbaby when we were away. The family was reliable, provided regular communication and photos update throughout the stay - Sil and family even went above and beyond when we were stuck overseas and couldn't make it back in time for the pick up. I came to Sil for all of the good reviews on his profile and was certainly did not disappoint, highly recommend for any tasks. Thank you for your amazing work! Tito seemed like he had a great stay there and no doubt you will be our go-to from now on.

What does professional pet sitting include?

Pet sitters will give your pets the practical care they need, as well as love and attention they crave while you’re away. Professional pet sitters are experienced in looking after dogs, cats, birds, chickens, ducks, snakes, rats, mice, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, and many more animals. Some ways your pet sitter may help are:

Feeding your pet

Most pets need feeding once or twice a day, plus water checked, changed, and topped up. Your professional pet sitter will make sure your pet has fresh, clean water and that they’re fed on schedule with the right quantities and foods, as specified in your instructions. If your pet has special dietary requirements, you can let your pet sitter know so they can accommodate them. 

Exercising your pet

While some pets get enough exercise from running around their enclosure or yard area, if you have a dog, they’ll probably need regular walks. Whether it’s three times a day or just a couple of times a week, your pet sitter can take your dog for a walk so they stay fit, happy, and healthy while you’re on holidays or working late in the office.

Cleaning up

Don’t come home from your holiday or a long day at work to a messy house, yard, or cage. Your pet sitter can take care of all kinds of pet messes so you don’t have to stress. They’ll pick up dog droppings and dispose of them in the bin, change kitty litter as needed, and replace the newspaper in the bottom of your bird or reptile enclosure. Plus, if you’re on an extended holiday, your pet sitter can help arrange pet grooming services like dog grooming and dog washing.

Catering to special requirements

Do you have a dog with diabetes or cat with cataracts? If your pet needs extra special attention, let your professional pet sitter know. Most pet sitters are experienced in pets with special needs, including daily injections, specific diets, giving oral medications, and more. They can even help arrange visits to the vet if your pet needs some extra care.

Hi. I adopted a kitten recently, as in he found me. I love him to bits. He will be about 8 weeks old and soon a month old. Kitty will be vaccinated , flea treated , dewormed and micro chipped soon. He is litter box trained. He doesn’t leave me or my husband’s side and gets very anxious , he has separation anxiety. Very playful though. I’m going away on the 17th of January and will be back 21st of January. I’m looking for a very loving sitter for him so that I can be 100% assured he will be in good hands. I’m so anxious. Also I want him to have the best time as well. So if other friendly kittens are around it will be great. He is my baby. I want him in safe hands.
