Frequently asked 20 questions
This is the most common and troublesome question that clients ask. Before leaving your pet with us, we meet and get to know each other. Usually, pets get used to a new environment and a human within 24 hours.
Our experience shows that young, outgoing and socialized animals that are used to being in an unfamiliar environment and with unfamiliar people overcome stress more easily. However, older, introvert and more timid animals may feel sadness for a longer period of time when under stress.
If a pet is left in the hands of a pet sitter for the first time, we pay particular attention and devote more time to them, take more frequent walks outside, play, talk to them, pet and comfort them like we would do with young children.
The duration of the pet’s adjustment period largely depends on the ability of the pet sitter to establish contact with the pet. Starting eating and relieving itself are good first signs that the pet begins to fit in. There is a possibility to do a “test” pet sitting for half the day or a day. Often, however, pet owners experience separation distress to a greater extent than pets themselves.
Friends, acquaintances and relatives often lack the necessary experience and knowledge on animal care. They may also have limited time they can devote to taking care of a pet.
A professional pet sitter will be more responsible in taking care of your pet, he or she will devote their undivided attention and understand your pet’s needs based on their previous experience and knowledge. Our staff cares deeply about animals, whereas not all friends, relatives or acquaintances like animals and taking care of them.
We send regular information, photo and video updates so that you can keep up with how your pet is doing without stress. For a more convenient communication, clients usually choose WhatsApp, but we can also send text messages or emails, as well as make phone calls.
