All of us as pet owners have experienced the situation where we have to be away from home for a certain period of time, be it for professional reasons, a trip, or even daily commitments. What about when our furry friend can’t come with us? This is where the precious role of the Pet Sitter comes in, someone reliable, someone kind, someone who treats our pet as a member of the family trying to make sure that he doesn’t miss us. In this article we will put ourselves in the shoes of a Pet Sitter and understand what it is and all the reasons why someone becomes a Pet Sitter.
Make New Four-legged Friends
This is one of the main reasons why someone pursues this fantastic career as a Pet Sitter. Who doesn’t like that experience when you meet a new animal? This is the feeling that any Pet Sitter feels, whenever they arrive home to a new guardian.
We can talk here about a number of characteristics and factors that lead someone to follow this career path, but one thing they all have in common is a huge passion for pets.
We have people who do this because they cannot afford to have an animal at home. It may be because work or location makes it difficult to have a dog, or because they share a house with a friend who has a cat allergy. We have following this path animal guardians who are absolute “addicts”, and do so purely for the fulfillment that animal happiness gives them.
Being a Pet Sitter is a great way to share love and joy with animals and there is certainly no better feeling than making a new 4-legged friend.
Also make human friends!
Besides all the 4-legged friends, as a Pet Sitter we always end up meeting new people and building new relationships.
A good Pet Sitter usually has as one of the main characteristics the ability to communicate as well with people as with their pets, and the truth is that a positive relationship between the guardian and the Pet Sitter contributes to an overall positive experience.
One of the great and most important missions of a pet sitter involves maintaining contact with the guardians, both during and after the services are performed, which often results in a friendship.
When everything goes well and both animals and guardians are happy with the experience, there is always a greater likelihood of repeating the service.
It is good for mental and physical health
Who doesn’t like to take a walk with a happy dog or rest on the couch with a purring cat on their lap? I think everyone feels better after these activities.
A Pet Sitter is lucky enough to have these experiences every day, and the reality is that contact and activity with animals has been proven to benefit physical and mental health.
Dogs motivate us to get out of bed and out of the house for fresh air, so if we’re Pet Sitting an energetic dog, we’re going to get a lot of physical exercise.
If we are taking care of a cat, we obviously won’t go for long walks, but on a mental health level, there is nothing more relaxing than petting a cat or falling asleep with a cat on your lap.
