Last-Minute Hero

Specialist Care

My Pet's New Best Friend

Long-Distance Connection

While sitters show kindness every day, some go above and beyond. From welcoming you home with freshly baked brownies to a unique gesture you and your pets still think about today, did your sitter do something that really wowed you?

When plans change unexpectedly or emergencies occur, sitters can be the last minute lifeline you and your pets need. Did your sitter save the day, the holiday, or the all-important family event? 

All pets need love and care, but some need extra special attention. Whether they treated your pet’s condition with confidence or offered your senior pet patience and understanding, tell us how your sitter gave specialist care so you could travel with true peace of mind.

Helping them feel safe and happy while you’re away, sitters play a wonderful part in our pets’ lives. Did your pet form a strong friendship with their sitter — a special someone you could tell they were sad to say goodbye to?

Sharing the love of pets, owners and sitters from very different worlds can bond in an instant. Have you formed a connection with a sitter from far away who literally went the extra mile to care for your pets and home?
