Why You Should Hire a Professional Pet Care Company
Our furry family members are just that- a part of the family! You love them, spoil them, and if you are anything like me, you constantly think about them when you're apart. So it makes sense that on those occasions when you have to be away from your pets, you want them to be safe with someone you can trust.
Popular pet care sites, such as Rover and Wag, have great apps and market themselves as convenient for pet parents. But truth be told, they might not always be the best option for finding pet care. Here are some great reasons to hire a professional, local pet care company instead:
1) Support a local business
Choosing a local pet care company means you support a company within YOUR community!
These businesses often employ animal lovers who live and work in your area, contributing to the local economy and creating jobs. Supporting local businesses will always be better for community development.
2) Hire someone who is trained, insured, and bonded
Professional pet care companies take pet care seriously. Their staff undergoes training in pet behavior, handling, CPR, and First Aid. They are also insured and bonded, providing financial protection for both you and your pet in case of unexpected situations. Working with a professional means safety, reliability, accountability, and trust. When it comes to caring for your beloved pets, you should expect nothing less.
3) Meet your pet care professional beforehand
Unlike relying on a random app or website, local pet care companies usually require you to schedule a meet and greet with your assigned pet sitter or dog walker beforehand. This crucial step allows you to get to know the person who will be caring for your pet, assess their personality and experience, and ensure you feel comfortable with them entering your home. It’s also important for your pet to meet them and get comfortable with their scent and presence.
4) Hire someone who does pet care full-time
Pet care is a career for most professional pet care providers. You are hiring someone with a genuine passion for pet care! This dedication often sets them apart from individuals who offer pet sitting or dog walking as a casual side gig, with little to no interest in your pet who are just trying to make some money quickly.
5) Hire someone who gives you peace of mind
Professional pet care companies are accountable for their services. Many offer features like GPS tracking for dog walkers and regular updates with photos or videos. This transparency allows you to stay informed and feel confident that your pet is receiving the care you expect.
By choosing a local professional pet care company, like Jackie & Joe’s Pet Care, you're gaining a team of dedicated and qualified individuals who are invested in your pet's well-being. You can relax, knowing that we are caring for your pets and home with the same love and respect that you would!
