Modern America is now epitomized by a growing number of pet owners who see pets as family and friends rather than merely animals that have to be fed. Previously, pet ownership was delegated to families especially since at least one member, mostly the mothers, were at home to extend care to their pets. Today, however, even working singles and couples are taking on the responsibility of caring for pets.
Based on the 2005-2006 National Pet Owner Survey of the America Pet Products Association, pet ownership is now 63% of the country's total households. Most of these households prefer dogs, birds and cats for pets. This is mainly due to their loving personalities as well as their faithfulness to their owners, traits that pet owners are endeared to. In return for such love, owners also lavish their pets with attention and affection.
Realistically, owners cannot always provide such love and care especially since their daily routine goes beyond home and work. Oftentimes, they face the dilemma of not knowing where or to whom they could safely entrust their pets when they have to be away for a long period of time either for vacation, an emergency trip or out-of-town engagements. For some owners, a day away from their pets is already agonizing, while for others, being away for more than a day is a big problem.
In the past, pet owners faced such dilemma by requesting their neighbors to regularly feed and occasionally look after their pets, or hauling their pets to a kennel or a relative's house. These options are cumbersome for both the owners and pets: the owners for having to necessitate care for their pets from different people and the pets for having to deal with unfamiliar faces and environment. For pets, new faces and places can be very stressful, and to some extent, traumatic.
The good news for pet owners is that there is a better option to those previously mentioned. Pet sitting is a relatively new service in America which provides personalized care to pets while their owners are away. Pet sitting addresses two of the immediate problems often encountered by pet owners: unfamiliar care-givers and environment.
Pet sitting services allocate one pet sitter to an owner. The sitter will be the same face that a pet sees every time the service is needed. As such, familiarity and regularity is established within the pet's environment, reducing its stress when its owner is not around. Pet sitters make sure that the habitual activities (e.g. food intake, recreation, physical training and grooming) are strictly followed, aside from the special instructions that owners usually request (e.g. scheduled vet check-up and medication). Pet sitters also ensure that pets are showered with love and attention the way their owners treat them.
For owners who avail of pet sitting services, they are assured that caregiving is given only by professional pet sitters. As such, they make sure that all pet-related concerns are reported to owners which may at times be overlooked. These include following vaccination schedules and methods in enhancing a pet's health and behavior. The bonus? Owners are assured that their homes, apart from their pets, are safe while they are away.
