Here are 3 top reasons why you might need to find a trusted sitter when you travel.

1. Vets agree, pets are happier at home when their owners travel. A trusted in-home sitter will allow your pets to stay in familiar surroundings and maintain their usual routine, so you can avoid the stresses and costs of kennels and boarding.

2. Your home and garden will be cared for, too. Enjoy the peace of mind that you'll return to a clean and tidy home, with plants thriving.

3. Homes are more secure when they are occupied. A sitter can also help to protect your property from storms, flooding or burst pipes.
