How do I find a trustworthy pet sitter?
Employing a professional, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter for your pets and your home can not only be a lifesaver but a total game changer! When pet parents choose to board their precious furry family members in a kennel or a facility, pets are no longer in their familiar and secure environment. While in a kennel or "pet hotel," pets are likely to be surrounded by unfamiliar dogs or cats, leading to chronic stress, aggression, or even illness. Once dropped off, do our pets realize their owners will be back to pick them up? Sadly, probably not. We have heard from countless pet owners their dog or cat returned home ill or traumatized after spending time in a kennel or boarding facility.

In addition to pet sitting, reliable pet sitters also provide house sitting. The Peaks Pet Nanny is more than happy to feed the fish, bring in your mail, newspapers, and Amazon packages.
