You’d love to take a quick trip, but what about your beloved pet at home\u2026?
When pet owners are away from home, it’s common to ask family or friends to look after their pets, or to leave them at a pet hotel.
But if your pet is shy and doesn’t do well in new environments, or has an active personality and can’t adjust to life in a cage at a pet hotel, an pet sitter<\/a>‘s in-home care service<\/strong> might be a great new option for you.<\/p>\n

What is a pet sitter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A pet sitter<\/a> (Pet Sitter) is someone who provides pet care services at the pet owner’s home or the sitter’s own home.
This is already a common service in Western countries, where it’s standard to find and book available pet sitters nearby through major platforms like Rover<\/a> and PetBacker<\/a>.
In Japan, “Fluv<\/a>, pet sitter SOS<\/a>, Orange pet sitters<\/a>” are popular pet sitter platforms trusted by many pet owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does a pet sitter do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 In-home care
A pet sitter visits the owner’s home to take care of their pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Services include: preparing and serving meals, cleaning and organizing the living environment, playtime, and reporting to the owner.
Features: You can invite the pet sitter to your home in advance so they can meet your pet and get familiar with the environment. This is the ideal service for cats that don’t like going out or dogs with limited mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter which service you use, pet sitters always take photos of your pet and send reports to the owner, so you can see how your pet is doing even when you’re away from home!
Whether your pet stays at home or at the sitter’s home, they’ll be cared for with love and attention \u25ce<\/p>\n\n\n\n
