I have used a bonded, insured pet sitter for 13 yrs. She comes 3 x day and walks, feeds, toilets, plays with my dogs. I know she spends more than 30 min with my dogs so I get value for what I pay. She has a full profile on emergency contacts and vet instructions should anything happen (never has).
I have peace of mind because my home is not unattended during our vacation and we even have our mail picked up etc. If u weigh the cost, it's about the same. |
