I think this debate rings true when hiring any service provider that is coming into your home when you may not be there. A lot of people may find comfort in knowing the same person will be providing the service rather than a multitude of people whom you may have not met.
So, what happens when you hire a pet sitting company that has several pet sitters that work for them? Will you get the same person every time, or will there be several people in and out of your home while you are away? That's a great question to ask your pet sitter prior to making that hiring decision. Here is how Play Time Pet Care handles it:
When you call to set up your initial consultation / meet and greet, the sitter that is assigned to you will be determined by who lives closest to you, who is available during your requested dates and depending on the type of pet(s) you have, who has the most experience. The goal is to set up the meet and greet with THE sitter that will be entering your home, providing your updates and completing the services needed. We also like to continue having that same sitter work with you on future pet sitting needs.
With that being said, there is a HUGE advantage to working with a pet sitting company that has other pet sitters providing services. Those advantages are:
- You never have to interview or hire additional pet sitting companies that may have different rates and policies because we will always have you covered.
- Life happens. If something were to happen to your dedicated pet sitter which rendered them incapable of caring for your pets during a time when you are away, they have built in back up. Your pets still get cared for without interruption. Granted, it may be a different pet sitter coming in to your home, but isn't the piece of mind knowing your pets will always be taken care of better than the stress of possibly having another person in your home?
- All our pet sitters are insured, bonded and background checked. So, no matter who is in your home, you are protected.
- What if you want to go on vacation the same time your pet sitter wants to go on vacation? That's not a problem with Play Time. We'll just send a different sitter to meet you prior to you leaving so you know who is in your home.
- It's like having an army of passionate, pet loving individuals on your side.
The chances of having multiple people in your home is slim, but in the emergency case that may arise, you want to have a team of professionals to have your back to take care of your beloved companion.
Play Time Pet Care is there for you all the time, no matter what. Your pets are our number one priority.
