Pet Care service - Above and beyond good service.

Post by Richt »

Well good evening the wonderful people who live in Fiso land!

Quick market research question..... If you were to use the services of a pet sitter, dog walker, pet feeder etc for when you are busy or going away on holiday. What service would you like to be offered, which is over and above the usual a) walking, b) litter tray emptying c) feeding etc.......

One of those that I have offered my clients tonight is the purchasing of essential shopping items for when they return from their holidays.

What other things would YOU find valuable should you go down that route?

Grooming
Daily txt and or pic :D
specialised diet or regular blood testing services.
warm bed for dogs with arthritis.
There could be an opening for such specialised care for older animals.

MY SIL boards her 4 cats when the family go on holidays, and one of them has diabetes, the boarding home has provided a "room" of their own for her four,
and she supplies their food so they don't have access to other cat food. And they also monitor the blood sugar

Don't have a pet :D

However - could consider lawnmowing or cleaning I guess - possibly partnering with local trusted cleaning and gardening services. Would be nice to come home to a freshly mowed lawn and a clean house.

I used to use a pet service for my cat.
They offered shopping, post forwarding, vaccuming, checking all external doors and windows

If house sitting / visiting then garden and plant watering could be helpful.

Couldn't contemplate leaving my dog in kennels anywhere (she always comes on holiday or out for the day with us, regularly comes away for night or two when working away) but going out for the day or day boarding I might just consider but I'd need the person to really show love to my dog and not just shove them away with 30 minutes exercise a day or whatever.

1. Please don't rummage through my drawers while I am away
2. Wash up after yourself
3. Clean up after yourself
4. Clean up any dog sh*t in the back garden
5. Don't leave your own piss stains and pubes under the toilet seat


The most important things are to follow your instructions to the letter. Your animal has a routine and likes that routine.
