Pet sitting has great advantages when it comes to your pets happiness and well being. But, it can also have price advantages if you have more than one pet.
Pet sitting companies often don’t charge or charge very little to care for multiple pets. They main driver of cost in pet sitting is travel time to your home and the pay for great people you can trust being in your home.
