Why choose petsitting?
At Pentland Petsitting we believe that going away should be a stress-free experience for both you and your pets without the need for arranging kennels or catteries. Most pets do not like being away from home especially in unfamiliar surroundings plus leaving your pets behind can be worrying, especially if you have older or unwell animals. Many pets suffer some degree of anxiety in boarding situations which no owner wants for their four-legged friends. You may also worry about the security of your home when you are away. With our service you can relax in the knowledge that your pets will be happy and your home will be safe and secure.
How does it work?
At Pentland Petsitting your animals will be expertly cared for by a professional carer. Your pets stay in the comfort of their own home and myself or another sitter visit them as and when required to feed, groom, walk, play and generally care for them just as you would. Before an assignment begins we come out to visit you for a free consultation and also to meet the animals and work out what you require. During the consultation we go over all aspects of the services needed and get you to complete a petsitting agreement form as well as a vet release form. This ensures we have all the essential details to care for your pet. We also take a set of keys for access. All keys are kept in a secure storage box with a coding system so clients addresses cannot be connected to their keys.
We can care for any type of animal no matter how large, small or numerous! Please see our list for more details. Rehomed animals are our speciality area. We are qualified to give medication via injection and perform animal first aid. We always carry an emergency first aid kit for animals. As well as this we are police-checked (Disclosure Scotland) and can provide you with references from previous clients.
Petsitting: for small animals we recommend either one or two visits per day depending on the needs of the animal. Visits include feeding, changing water, grooming, playing and walks if needed. Pets get lots of attention and TLC to make sure they are happy and healthy! On every visit we check the house is secure and move any mail from doorways. Petsitting often works out cheaper than boarding especially for those with more than one type of pet. It also has the added bonus of regular activity in the house making it more secure. As well as pet care we can also look after your plants, put the bins out, switch lights on during the evening, close the curtains and generally keep your home as it should be. Please see our other pages for more information.
