What is pet sitting? 

Your pet/s stay at home and a pet carer visits your home once, twice or even thrice a day to feed, change the water, clean up after your pet/s (ie litter tray). The carer also spends quality time playing, stroking, walking and generally being with and loving your pet/s like their own. Your pet does not go to a facility but stays at home in their own environment, pet care comes to your pet, not your pet going to a facility.
