Dog &/or Cat Minding--In Home

About the Dog &/or Cat Minding In Home heading in Yellow™

For information regarding dog and cat minding services look under this Yellow™ heading. Dog and cat minding services are availed by people who need to be away on a vacation or business trip and cannot take their pet with them. In the absence of anyone who can look after a pet, dog and cat minding services may be used. These services include sitting, feeding, bathing, and walking. Pet minders look out for the safety of the pet entrusted to them and do their best to make it feel comfortable in familiar surroundings despite having a new person to accompany it.

Since many pets are territorial and sometimes take time warming up to people other than their owner, owners and their pets may meet with their pet minder before the minding service starts. This assures the owner that his or her pet and home are both safe in the hands of someone he or she does not totally know. This meeting is usually obligation free and serves as an interview.

Dog and cat minders are entrusted with the pet’s grooming and daily routine. This includes, feeding, changing of water, walking, playing and giving medication if necessary. They may also be asked to maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of the house, dispose trash, collect the mail, answer calls, and keeping the doors locked at necessary times. Owners may also opt to place their pet in a different home while they are away. A minder’s home has to be secure and clean before a pet can stay there temporarily. This gives the pet a 24 hour assistance. Minders have to have the owner’s number for emergencies. Likewise, owners need to have the contact numbers of the minder so they can check on their pet.
