It's natural to worry about who will take care of your pets when you're away from home. While it's tempting to leave them with a friend or family member, it's important to consider the benefits of using a professional service. In particular, a local sitter service such as Latchkey Pets can provide the personalized attention and care that your pets deserve.

One of the primary advantages of using a local pet sitter service is that it allows your pets to stay in the comfort of their own home. This can be especially important for pets that are older, anxious, or have specific medical needs. A professional sitter can also provide the personalized attention required to ensure that your pets receive the best possible care while you are away.
With both of our dogs being older, it was especially important for me to not have to worry about boarding them somewhere while we traveled for Thanksgiving. Instead, having someone come to our home was preferred so that the dogs didn't have to endure any unnecessary stress.

Another benefit of using a local service is that it allows you to establish a relationship with the sitter. This can be especially helpful if you plan to travel frequently or for long periods of time. A good sitter will get to know your pets and their unique personalities, and can provide the consistency and continuity of care that your pets need.
Before we went out of town, a pre-trip visit was scheduled and three ladies from Latchkey Pets came over to our house. I was able to show them where everything was, from leashes to extra dog food and towels for muddy paws. They were very thorough in asking questions and making sure they understood our dog's normal routines.

Using the services provided by Latchkey Pets provides peace of mind for you as a pet owner. You can rest assured that your pets are receiving the best possible care, and that any issues or concerns will be addressed promptly and professionally.
We received text updates each time someone was at our house, so we always knew what was going on even with us being away. My kids especially loved getting to see so many photos of the dogs - going on walks, playing outside, seeing the snow on the ground while we're sitting beachside, etc.
If you're planning a vacation, I would highly recommend using Latchkey Pets to ensure that your pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for while you're away.
