5 Reasons to Choose Petcetera Pet Sitting Services

• Petcetera is not an agency. As the sole proprietor, I handle all clients on my own in order to maintain a personal relationship with my clients and their pets. I do limit the number of clients I sit for per time period. I find that limiting my client intake allows for emergencies, special attention, and last-minute needs. Plus, you never want your pet sitter to be too pooped to provide high-quality care you rely on!
• Petcetera is my full-time profession, not a hobby. Therefore, my business is registered with the state, licensed, insured, and I am personally certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. Our insurance policy from Pet Sitters Associates, L.L.C. provides exemplary coverage, including an additional policy that goes beyond the bounds of normal bonding. Our insurance protects us during medical emergencies, in case of key loss, and most importantly, covers YOUR property. To learn more about the terms of our insurance, please visit the PSA Q & A page. I’ve taken all precautions to protect my clients and their pets. Remember – hiring a service that does not meet these requirements involves some liability on your behalf, and you could be putting your pets at risk.
• Whether a growing pup needs a potty break, or a parrot needs her medication, it’s imperative to hire a pet sitter you can depend on. Petcetera provides a general service contract to protect the client and their pet(s), and to secure the promise that we’ll do what’s necessary to care for your companion. We’ve driven through white-out snow storms and on roads of ice in order to care for pets. We’re happy to communicate by email or phone while you’re away, as well. It’s our job to ensure that your pets are cared for, and we’re happy to lend references as proof that we’ve gone the extra mile.
• Experience is essential!! While we specialize in caring for parrots and special needs pets, Petcetera has cared for a variety of animals including dogs and cats (baby to elderly), guinea pigs, blue-tongued skinks, horses, love birds, chickens (indoor and outdoor!), hamsters, fish, cockatoos, African Greys, snails, finches, and our list continues to grow!! We’ve cared for dogs with seizures, parrots with biting issues, diabetic cats, rescued & formerly abused pets, and animals of all ages, from an 8 week old Chihuahua to 17 year old cats. We’re experienced with administering medication (free of charge) and of course with providing lots of patience, compassion, and love!!
• We always go the extra mile!! Poop-scooping the backyard, bringing in the mail and papers, alternating blinds and lights, removing pet-related trash, sweeping, vacuuming – these are all amenities included when you choose Petcetera Pet Sitting Services. We’re committed to caring for your pets and your property while you’re away. Our clients are family to us, and our family is our priority.

Remember – at Petcetera, professional pet care is our full-time job, not a hobby. It is my life’s commitment to ensure that animals everywhere receive the nurture, attention, and supervision that allow them to lead happy, healthful, and heart-fulfilling lives.
