The Pet Industry is growing at an amazing rate and with it come products and services never before imagined. Take the career of Professional Pet Sitter...it is a growing industry and there are many reasons why.

Hiring a professional pet sitter has proven a wise decision time and time again. As the owner of a professional Pet Sitting Service, Meow & Fetch Pet Sitting, in Charlotte, North Carolina, I hear stories of neighbors and friends who failed to show up, left the home in terrible disarray, left the pet without water or even found the pet dead. There is a big difference between 'helping a friend' and 'doing your job'.

When you are hired to do a job, you take the time to follow all the instructions to the final detail. You are mindful of the pets needs and respectful of the clients home. This is not to say that a friend will not care, but when you are paid to do a job...you do it!

Should you wish to consider hiring a professional pet sitter follow the basic steps... Schedule an initial visit to introduce sitter and pet and to go over details regarding care and routine. Secure literature stating fees and ask for references. The sitter should be insured and bonded. Then see for yourself if the sitter and your furry kid get along well.

Paying for a sitter is a small price to pay for professional care. Peace of mind knowing your pet is having as good a time as you are with their new friend.
