The short answer, looking after someone’s pet (in their own home) and providing them with their daily care when the owner can’t. But did you know that a professional pet sitter does way more than that?

A professional pet sitter will have knowledge about a wide array of different animals, their specific needs, and common medical situations. Besides providing your pet with their basic care, they will be able to spot problems in a timely manner. Professional sitters are experienced in taking care of pets with behavioral difficulties, will be able to read their body language and put this knowledge and experience to use when interacting with your pet, making the experience as pleasant and stress-free for them as possible.

The general answer to this question, it will depend on the pet sitter. At PetVesta , we look after any pet, and all our sitters are experienced in taking care of different types of animals.

Single visits are possible. We can also visit your pet more times during that day if needed. A consultation prior to the pet sit will be required for new clients.

Yes, they do. Which is also one of the most rewarding parts of being a pet sitter. At PetVesta we strive to build connections with the pets we care for through trust and respect, and it’s extremely rewarding if overtime fearful pets open up to our sitters. But even if they don’t, having the same sitters visit a pet will reduce their stress as they will become a familiar face.

That the pet sitters are experienced, knowledgeable, caring and trustworthy. That all interactions with your pets are force, fear and pain free while providing them with the basic daily care like feeding, affection, play, enrichment and exercise.

No, when pets are in our care when owners are away for extended periods we do require a minimum amount of daily visits. For cats, rabbits, critters, reptiles and marsupials, the minimum number of visits is once per day. For dogs and kittens this is twice per day. We require these minimum number of visits per day to ensure that any health, or other issues, will be noted sooner rather than later and can be dealt with in a timely manner.

Yes we can, all our sitters and walkers are experienced in reading dog body language and handling pets with all types of behaviour. While caring for your pet they will ensure that all their interactions are force free, fear free and pain free. We can arrange a meet-and-greet with the sitter and/or walker for an introduction. As the sitter/walker has to drive to your location and time will be booked on their schedule for the visit, the cost of a meet-and-greet is that of a standard visit.

Standard visit (minimum 30 minutes) – AED 93

Long visit (minimum 60 mins) – 127 AED

Some pets will be totally fine with being visited by a sitter without any introduction, and for others this might be too stressful. Depending on your pet, you can consider doing a meet-and-greet with the pet sitter whilst still being there, so your pet will have the opportunity to get to know the sitter, with the comfort of you there. In the end you will know your pet best, and what would be the most suitable for them. As the sitter has to drive to your location and time will be booked on their schedule for the visit, the cost of a meet-and-greet is that of a standard visit.

There are several options. A lockbox on the outside of the house/apartment. If a concierge or reception is available, keys can be left there for the pet sitter to take. Another option is to leave a door unlocked with the keys inside. The sitter can lock the door after each visit, and leave the keys inside with the door unlocked on the last visit. Keys can also be hidden around the house for the sitter to take at the first visit. Depending on your preference, we can return the key to the same spot after the last visit, or keep it for future visits. If neither of the above are possible, or when preferred, we can also arrange a key pickup and/or key dropoff which costs 57.75AED
