YES!!! We do carry the maximum limits of general liability insurance, so you and your pets are protected. Don’t be fooled by those that claim to be insured and bonded, but carry minimum amounts or have expired policies. We will gladly show you proof of our policy upon request.

*NOTE: Being bonded or having insurance does not guarantee the quality of service. Our own reputation is the best guarantee. We have many happy clients and lots of great reviews online.

We don’t board pets. Instead, we keep pets HAPPY in their homes. Having a pet sitter come to your home reduces your pet’s stress levels. It also helps to avoid outside illness, such as kennel cough, which is very contagious even if your pet has been vaccinated against it, they can get it as there are so many different strains. It is basically like a flu for dogs.

There are so many different reasons one might choose to use a professional pet sitting service. We’ve identified some of our top client profiles. See which one best describes your situation. If you don’t see your profile on our list, no worries, we’re still here to help!

A loving pet owner knows that pets are HAPPIEST in their own homes. When you go on vacation or take a business trip, why not keep them at home where they are HAPPY? They will have their own personal attendant taking care of them like they were their own pet(s), keeping them on their normal routine, feeding schedule and eating their own food and treats. Walking on their same routes and sleeping in their normal familiar spots.

We will make sure your pet(s) are safe, comfortable, and HAPPY.  We at Raleigh Pet Sitters, Inc. love what we do, and our clients often tell us they can tell a difference in their pet’s happy and relaxed behavior when they return home, it’s like they were never gone. Once you use a professional pet sitting service you won’t board again. You can read all about what our pet sitting service does entail HERE. 

We bring in your mail, get the paper, retrieve any packages you may get, clean up any pet accidents that may occur, rotate lights, adjust curtains and/or blinds, put trash/recycle at the road and bring it back up, water any plants that need attention, and give your home that “lived in look” while you are away. Your Pet(s) and Home are in good reliable care while using our services.

As a Raleigh Pet Sitters’ client, you will have access to your very own Client Portal to communicate with us, keep us updated on how you want us to care for your pet(s) and home. After each visit, you will receive real-time updates from your pet sitter. They will leave you notes in your portal and they will be emailed to you ?

An invoice will be posted to your account one day after your last day of service. Then, you can login to your account to add payment. Our preferred method of client payment is the secure ACH Transfer (e-check), but there is also an option for you to add a debit or credit card. For future pet sitting visits, we will draft payment from the payment method that you have on file. Please note, any tips are still preferred to be left in cash.
