Are trusted pet sitters in Penang a good alternative to kennels?
Definitely - by welcoming a trusted pet sitter, your animals will be cared for in the comfort of their own home - which is where vets agree they’re happiest. Unlike kennels, there’s no need to take your pet away from home to make sure they’re looked after, or spend thousands on pet care. Owners here join for one annual membership fee, which gives them access to as many sitters as needed, with no hidden costs.
What are the duties of trusted pet sitters in Penang?
Our sitters take on a variety of responsibilities that ensure pets are happy and the home is cared for while pet parents are away. Tasks include feeding, play, exercise, watering plants, collecting the mail, and keeping the home tidy.
Can I find a dog sitter in Penang who can keep up with a high-energy dog?
Certainly - simply be sure to share the temperament and energy levels of your dog in your listing so that you only attract sitters who can match their exercise needs. It’s important to share your dog’s exercise routine with your sitter ahead of time, to make sure your pup stays happy and calm while you’re away.
