"Don't board them, let me spoil them!"

We MUST care for your pets at least once/day. We do not do every other day pet sits. Stress is the leading cause of illness in cats! Staying in their own environment lessens their stress but they need to be cared for everyday.

In order for your pet(s) to receive care as close to their normal routine, please provide pet food, treats, medications, collar & identification, leash, toys, etc. Please do not start a new diet or give new treats right before or during pet sit unless Vet ordered.

When you return home, please email or call me to confirm that your pet(s) are back in your good care & services will be discontinued.

SHELTERS ARE FULL! CATS AND DOGS NEED HOMES NOW!
Moving out of Central Florida during summer break? Did the cat produce a litter of kittens? Tired of the pooch you gave your kids at Christmas? Did your Dad develop an allergy to the cat? Unfortunately, nearly 12,000 people answer "YES" to these and similar questions each year. Fortunately these homeless pets have a second chance to find a loving home through the SPCA of Central Florida's two facilities - Orlando Humane Society and the Humane society of Seminole County. Sadly, most of these pets were turned in within the last week! "Both facilities are nearing the maximum number of pets we can shelter. Since 1997 the SPCA of Central Florida has maintained a 100% adoption rate for adoptable pets," stated Barbara Wetzler, SPCA of Central Florida Executive Director. "We want to maintain the best quality of life for our pets as well as our superior adoption rate. Right now, what we need most, is to find the right match for the pets and the adopters." Barbara Garwood, SPCA of Central Florida President of the Board of Directors says,"We're asking Central Floridians to enrich their lives by bringing a pet into their homes!" To help, the SPCA of Central Florida has updated photos of the pets at both shelters. Visit www.orlandopets.org to find your next best four-legged friend.

WHY YOU SHOULD LET ME PAMPER YOUR PET!
Kathy Morgan
Pet owners are often faced with the dilemma of what to do with their pets when traveling away from home. If you are like most pet owners, you either board your pet or arrange for friends and neighbors to take care of your pet while you're away. However, transporting your pet to a kennel can be inconvenient, and friends may not provide the level of care your pet requires. In addition it is often uncomfortable and awkward to impose on friends and family. It is also commonly known that pets do better in their own environment. Our service provides your dog, cat, birds and other pets the care they need while you're away -- right in your own home! With us, you are assured reliable and responsible service.

Your pets will:
• stay in their own secure, familiar environment
• follow their customary routine and diet
• avoid exposure to illness from other animals
• receive loving, individual attention
• avoid stress

Even if you are not leaving home, there may be instances where we can be of service. Unusual working hours or lengthy illnesses may make it difficult to care for your pet. When those times arise, your pet sitter is just a phone call away, ready to provide assistance. Whether you are going on a vacation, working all day, taking a business trip or recovering from the flu or surgery--Pet Sitting by Kathy Morgan is there to provide you & your pet with quality care and love. To help ease your your worries, we keep a daily dairy of each visit & offer daily email or phone message updates of your babies--all inclusive!


Looking for A Pet Sitter FAQs
1. What does a pet sitter do? Caring pet owners know that most pets adjust better to their owner's absence and experience less anxiety and stress when they can remain their home environments. Pet sitters make this possible with daily visits to your home. In addition to meals, exercise, playtime and cleaning litter boxes or cages, professional pet sitters may also administer medications, walk dogs and perform other pet-care duties. That's why in-home pet care is the choice of pet owners and the "pet-preferred" method of vacation and travel care. Pet sitters may also provide vital home-care services while you are away, including mail or newspaper pick up, plant care and watering, placing trash outside for pickup or rotating the lights and opening or closing the blinds to make your house look lived in. A professional pet sitter provides peace of mind for everyone.

2. 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. TLC. Most importantly, your pet receives love and personal attention while you are away.

3. What are the advantages for me? Travel. You won't be inconvenienced or upset by transporting your pet. 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 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.

4. How do I prepare my home and pets for a pet sitting service? Preparation can make a big difference in how smoothly things go for your pet when the pet sitter comes to visit. Here are some tips: Make sure the pet sitter has a phone number where you can be reached. If inside services are requested, provide the pet sitter with a house key in addition to garage door openers. If you have new keys made, try them out to make sure they work. Clean food and water dishes before leaving town. Provide extra food, litter and other supplies just in case you're not able to return when planned. Clean out the refrigerator to avoid smelly food spoilage and wash the dishes in the sink to prevent ants, flies or other pests. Adjust the thermostat to keep the house comfortable for the pet during your absence. In warm weather, a closed-up house can get dangerously hot in a short time. Leave a list of phone numbers in case the pet sitter needs to contact service or maintenance companies while you are away; i.e., plumber, electrician, cleaning service, yard maintenance, pool service, etc. Tell the pet sitter of any household areas that are off-limits to your pets or to the pet sitter. Secure access to those areas before leaving home.

5. What can I do to help my pet sitter take the best care of my pets? You can help your pet sitter be a better friend to your pet by helping to make sure there are no problems while you are away. Planning and preparation in the following areas will smooth the way: Tell the pet sitter about all health problems your pet may have -- major or minor. Provide written verification that your pet is up to date on its vaccinations. Make sure your dog's collar fits... Otherwise he may slip out of a too-large collar while being walked. If your dog is not accustomed to walking on a leash, practice with him before you leave. Make a list of your pet's favorite hiding places. This will prevent the pet sitter from worrying if your pet is not where expected -- the sitter will know where to look. Provide your own preferred method of flea control, even if your pets are currently flea free. Fleas multiply rapidly and can become a problem very quickly. If you own both dogs and cats, do not ask the sitter to "just ignore the cats;" i.e., not charge, during pet-sitting visits. A sitter's professionalism, ethic responsibility and conscience would not allow the oversight of a cat in need of food, medical care or human attention. If your dog growls or snaps at a pet sitter during a "get-acquainted visit," understand that the pet sitter may ask that you make other arrangements for your dog's care during your absence.

6. Why should I hire a PSI member as my pet sitter? Pet Sitters International was founded in 1994 to promote, support and recognize excellence in pet sitting. When you hire a PSI member, you are hiring a professional who believes in the quality service and high standards that PSI promotes. With a staff that has a combined 45+ years of experience in pet-sitting services, PSI has developed a wide range of pet care, business and educational resources. Only PSI members have access to this wealth of information, the latest in industry trends, new products and services that can benefit you as a pet owner. Our members are pet sitters because they love pets. PSI provides educational services, information and accreditation programs to help our members to better care for the pets that you love, too.
