They have separate kennels that are completely protected from uncertain weather, have adequate ventilation, and even have adjacent terraces where your dogs could relax. You may request for a trial visit or stay if your pet is boarding for the first time. Pet Sitters will stick to your dog's regular schedule in terms of mealtimes and prepping. In case of an emergency, Pet Sitters has its own on-site veterinarian, but your dog's regular veterinarian will be contacted first. Every day grooming (brushing, paw cleaning, checking for ticks and fleas) will be provided for your furry friend. If your dog will be staying longer than five days, the package will include a bath.
