Why hire a professional pet sitter?

    Sometimes, asking our friends and family members to take on the responsibility of caring for our pets when we are away can be a big burden. There's also a good chance that your friends and neighbors lack proper pet-care experience and may even forget to show up. By hiring a professional, we will never forget about your pets. A professional pet sitter spends quality time with your pet, gives him exercise, and knows how to tell if your pet needs any medical attention.  In addition, a professional pet sitter, such as The Furry Godmother, can offer additional services, such as bringing in mail and newspapers, watering plants and turning lights on and off. This helps to provide a continued "lived in" look to deter crime. The Furry Godmother is fully licensed, bonded and insured and our commitment to you and your pets is our number one priority!
