Choices Pet Sitters (We Come to You / Bonded / Insured) - Jasper, GA
When "good enough" just isn't for your family (especially if you have fearful, reactive, pandemic isolated, or special needs dogs) then look to the safety and value of a TRAINED, full-time Pet Care Professional. Welcome to Choices Pet Sitters!
We aren't a "gig" company and don't work with Independent Contractors who can send in anyone they want to send in to do your job. As the Premier in-home pet sitting company in North Georgia our team of trained EMPLOYEES has been providing respectful, personalized, and extremely professional pet care since 2005. Our liability insurance protected Pet Care services include pet sitting (dog sitting, cat sitting), exotic pet sitting, dog walking, mini-farm sitting, and overnight pet sitting services.
Look, you can hire anyone to drop more food in a bowl or top off the water in your pet's bowl. Don't make the mistake of hiring anyone that advertises services for what they consider to be an "easy job." All pet sitters are pet lovers and many have experience with their own pets but very little experience with other people's pets. Without experience in dog body language or best pet care practices, they may make a mistake with your pet. Without liability insurance you'll be on the hook for any issues or losses.
MAYBE the independent contractor you are considering will be good enough to know what separation anxiety looks like or MAYBE even how to help alleviate it in your pet. But for most people "good enough" just isn't. You WANT a higher standard of service. You NEED a credentialed professional who understands canine and feline body language to keep your pets safe! You DESERVE a professional who has the tools and educational training to give you the most experienced care for your pet. And you EXPECT one who strives for a higher standard of pet care including cleaning the biofilm off the pet bowls at each visit... not just topping off the bowls. In other words, you don't want to worry about the care your pet is getting while you are away.
The value-added services that Choices Pet Sitters provides comes with many years of professional (paid) pet care experience. Multiple certifications requiring continuing education, and membership in many industry-specific Pet Associations make us the most educated group in Jasper.
