FAQ



Why should I hire an in home pet sitter?
Maintaining your pet’s regular schedule at home is the best way to make your pet comfortable in your absence. Your pet will receive one on one attention, and will certainly be happier at home than in an unfamiliar place with lots of other animals. Also, hiring a private pet sitter is usually similar in cost to boarding. Avoid the stressful car rides, noisy kennel, and risk of illness from exposure to other animals. The Singing Sitter will care for your pet in your home just as you would! Read testimonials from my clients...

Can I meet my pet sitter in advance?
Once your pet sitting is scheduled, we will set up an introductory meeting. The Singing Sitter will come and meet you in your home to get acquainted with you and your pet. This introductory meeting is free. During this visit, your sitter will learn your pet’s daily routine and any special needs they may have. You will provide The Singing Sitter with two keys to your home or a key and a functional garage code. If an extra trip is required to pickup the key, a fee of $15 will apply.

How can I contact you while I am away?
You can call, text, or email. When The Singing Sitter is in your home your call is the highest priority!
