Home Buddies

I find that a good majority of people today seem to be surprised when they hear about In-home Pet Care.  It is as if they have never thought about the possibility of hiring a professional to come in to their home and care for their pets. Some people have no idea that Pet Sitters are out there. 

When I ask these people how their pets are being cared for when they go away, they reply with “kennel boarding, or asking friends and family.” Some people say they "never travel because they have a pet."

While asking your friends to help supplement care for your pets while you are out may sound like a good deal every now and then, utilizing a pet sitting service minimizes feelings of inconveniencing those friends and neighbors. It also reduces "travel trauma" to pets who need to be transported to a care facility while you are out of town. 

Don't think that just because you have a high maintenance pet means you can not travel! Having a Pet Sitter come in to your home maintains the animal's daily routine and schedule, keeping stress levels at bay for you and your pet. This makes life so much easier and your loved ones down south will thank you for the extra gas money in their pockets. 

Pet Sitters are trained and ready to care for your pet just like you would. Most of them are bonded, insured, and have gone through animal First Aid and CPR courses. Some sitters have years of experience caring for animals under their belts, as well.

When you go out of town, your pets will be left in good hands and if they are anything like Home Buddies Pet Sitters, they will go above and beyond the requirements to meet your pet’s needs to keep you happy and worry-free.

What Our Clients Are Saying:

“Referred by someone I trust. You were prompt, professional and gave me immediate feedback. Camp Bow Wow came highly recommended by my groomer whom I've known over twenty years. I was impressed by their quick follow up and complimentary interview. It was very important for me to know who was taking care of my dogs. They came when I requested, called me when they were finished, and gave me an oral and written report of the day's activities. It took a tremendous load off my mind and put a smile on my face knowing my pugs were getting the exercise and attention they crave.”

 “Anyone who knows me, knows that my three dogs are the love of my life.  I have a seven year old German Shepherd, a four year old Great Dane and a seventeen year old Pug.  I do not board my dogs and have been fortunate to have a home sitter for the past three years, but she is not always available.  I stumbled upon Camp Bow Wow through Facebook and I am so happy I did!  I met with Samuel and Christina and immediately knew that I could trust "my girls" with them.  They came to my house, met my brood, took notes about feeding and play, and quickly became best buds with my girls.  I have since had Christina come   to my house for home visits while we were away.  There is nothing more comforting than receiving a text message with photos of your dogs playing in the yard when you are 3000 miles from home.  I would recommend Camp Bow Wow without reservation.  I am so happy that there is now a local service available to those of us who want our pets cared for in their own home!”
