🐾 What Is Pet Sitting — And Why It Might Be Paw-fect for You!

At Strawberry Paws, we know that leaving your pet at home — whether for a few hours or a few days — can be stressful for both you and your furry friend. That’s where pet sitting comes in!

🍓 So, What Is Pet Sitting?

Pet sitting is a personalised pet care service where your pet stays in the comfort of their own home while you’re away. Instead of going to a kennel or boarding facility, a trusted sitter (like me!) visits your home to care for your pet — feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to.

It’s a great option for pets who:

  • Struggle with separation anxiety
  • Prefer their own space and routine
  • Don’t do well in busy or unfamiliar environments
  • Need extra one-on-one attention

🐶 Why Choose Pet Sitting Over Kennels?

Every pet is different, but many feel more relaxed and secure in their own home. With pet sitting, your pet:

  • Stays in a familiar environment
  • Keeps their usual routine
  • Gets personalised care and companionship
  • Avoids the stress of travel or noisy kennels

Plus, you get peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by someone who truly loves animals (and is trained and insured to do so!).

🛋️ What’s Included in a Strawberry Paws Pet Sitting Visit?

Depending on your pet’s needs, I offer:

  • Quick check-ins (15–20 mins) for feeding, watering, and a bit of company
  • Extended visits (1-8 hours) for pets who need more time, cuddles, or reassurance
  • Walks, playtime, and plenty of TLC
  • Updates and photos so you know your pup is happy and safe
