Why use a pet sitter rather than a kennel? Pet sitting offers many advantages over kenneling.
Advantages for the Pet:
*Remains in his or her safe, secure environment, where all the sights, smells, and sounds are familiar
*Follows his or her normal diet and exercise routine
*Avoids exposure to illnesses or parasites from other animals
*Receives love and personal attention while the owner is away
Benefits for the Pet Owner
*Not inconvenienced by having to transport the pet
*Doesn't have to impose on or inconvenience a friend, family member or neighbor
*No need to stop and start mail and/or newspaper delivery
*Regular visits by the professional pet sitter - as well as keeping the pet home - help deter crime and promote security
*The owner is secure in the knowledge that while he or she is away the pet is in capable and caring hands
*The pet owner can arrange for other special services to be provided by the professional pet sitter
Pet sitting is often LESS expensive than kenneling, especially when dealing with multiple pets!

Janet took a very good care of my daughter's rabbit this June. It was a very short notice, but she looked after her for entire three weeks. I left Licorice in her cage at Janet's house which is immaculate. Needless to say when we came back from our holiday, Licorice's cage was immaculately clean, too!
I am so lucky to know Janet who I can totally rely on our pet seeting needs. She is absolutely trustworthy.

I have had Janet caring for my three cats for several years now. I never have to worry while I'm away, as I know Janet takes her time with my cats and tends to all their needs. She treats them as they are her own. She also takes care of my house and picks up the papers or mail if needed!
While I'm traveling, I trust my pets and my home to Janet. The kitties are always happy and well cared for. Janet is a true professional with love in her heart for Kenai, Sadie & Gracie! I highly recommend Janet for your pet sitting needs, she's the best!

Trust worthy caretaker for anyone's pets (furry, feathered, or scaly family members)
I know this is long over due....Thank you so much for taking such great care of all my critters, our 4 indoor kitties, bird, fish tank, and the 3 outdoor kitties that adopted us, I consider all of them my family members and just as valuable.
I really appreciated the daily pictures you sent too, they brought my family and I peace of mind and comfort knowing that they were all in great hands so we could enjoy our 2 week vacation. We've used boarders in the past and I think it was more stressful for our pets then having the luxury of staying at home in their own everyday surroundings, not to mention the cost. I have to say for all the pets we have your fees were more then reasonable and look forward to future vacations as long as you will take care of my little guys.
Thank you again, and I would recommend you to anyone!!

Four cats - that's right four! Do you know what it costs to board four cats? And then they're stuck in the cage all day too. Even when we were able to put them together in cages next to each other, they always seemed a bit "off" for the first few days after they got home. So my wife and I decided to try Familiar Friend Pet sitting and we couldn't be happier. The cats get to stay in our (their) home and keep their familiar routines ad surroundings (and not get exposed to other animals). We didn't have to drive them to the kennel and pick them up either. Janet came by once a day and the care was great. Nice notes left to left us know how things went, litter boxes cleaned, mail brought in, plants watered - you're getting much more than a pet sitter with Familiar Friend! Professional and courteous and - with four cats - it ended up being even less than kenneling. Janet was GREAT! Highly recommended!

I have known Janet as a petsitter and a friend for 15 years. Her care for pets (and people) is warm, kind and professional. Phone calls and emails are returned, notes about my dogs are detailed, and her judgment in all areas demonstrates her years of experience as a pet owner, homeowner and business owner. I leave my house key, my home, and my dogs with Janet and travel with peace of mind. She is one of a kind.
