Should I board my cat or have a cat sitter come to the house?

It's hard to decide what's best for your kitty—especially when you're planning to be away from home for more than a few days. At Bon Voyage Pet Sitting, we believe that keeping your cat in their usual environment is the most comfortable and stress-free option for them. We'll visit several times a day, pay close attention to how your kitty is acting and do everything we can to make them feel like everything is normal. We'll even sleepover if you'd like!

Here are some additional reasons to keep your pet at home and stay away from boarding:

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES FOR MY PET?

  • Reduced Stress. Your pet stays in its own familiar secure environment where all the sights, smells and sounds say "Home!"

  • Diet and Exercise. Customary diet and exercise routines are followed, with no interruption to upset your pet.

  • No "Travel Trauma". Travel in a vehicle to boarding facility or kennel may upset your pet.

  • Health Concerns. With a pet sitter, there is minimal exposure to illness of other animals.

  • T L C. Most importantly, your pet receives love and personal attention while you are away.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES FOR ME?

  • Travel. You won't be inconvenienced or upset by transporting your pet outside of San Francisco.

  • No Imposition. You don't have to impose on a friend, neighbor or relative to care for your pet, but instead rely on a pet care professional who will put you pet's needs first.

  • Security. Your San Francisco home is made more secure by the crime deterrent services provided by most pet-sitting services.

  • Peace of Mind. While you're away, you can feel confident your pet is in capable, caring hands.

  • Special Services. Pet sitters can provide additional home services while caring for your pet, such as watering plants and bringing in the mail.
