Have you ever wondered the difference between pet sitting in Viera and dog walking in Viera? While each service may involve overlapping similarities, there are some significant differences between the two. Furthermore, there are different reasons pet parents use each service.
Let’s dive right in!
Pet Sitting in Viera – In-Home Visits
Unlike dog walking, pet sitting usually occurs when a pet parent travels. Often referred to as a Home Visit, it involves one or more daily visits with the pet. Because we provide customized pet care, it will look different for each family and their pets. A pet sitter will come in to walk your dog or let her out in the yard and feed and play with your dog while the family is out of town. Pet sitting does not only apply to dogs! Our Space Coast Pet Services team cares for various pets, including cats, birds, reptiles, aquatics, exotics, and more.
Pet Sitting home visits also provide the safety and security of a house sitting service at no additional cost! Lights will be turned on and off, mail and newspapers can be collected and brought in, and other little touches will provide the feeling of “somebody’s home.”
If you leave it, we will love it and care for it! We have no breed restrictions as long as they are current on mandatory vaccinations and have no bite history!
Sometimes, a family will request overnight visits. This means a pet sitter will come to the home at night, spend the night, and return for at least one mid-day visit/walk/potty break. This service allows the pet to be looked after as he would if his family were still in town.
We do not offer overnight pet sitting services in your home. We do, however, offer Family-Style Boarding in our Viera home. We have SO MUCH FUN at these slumber ‘paw-ties’!
Dog Walking in Viera
Dog walking is simply what the name implies. A dog walker comes in and takes your dog for a walk at predesignated times of the day. The walk might be a once-a-day event or occur multiple times each day, depending on the age and needs of the dog. In many cases, a dog walker acts as a push-in for a busy pet parent who may be at work and can’t be at home to walk the dog or maybe take that much-needed day trip!
Dog walking in cities such as Rockledge, Viera, and Suntree offers a beautiful mix of various backdrops. The explorations in nature offer a dog a blend of a potty break and a multisensory experience, depending on your locale. Trails galore will excite your dog’s senses. From Canova Beach Park, Sand Point Park, and many more, this break from the confines of the home or yard provides multiple opportunities to benefit your dog’s mental and physical health and reinforces the specific training needs your dog may need.
We keep cleanliness and courtesy in mind no matter where the walk occurs. While walking your dog, we will never allow your dog to do his business on anyone’s lawn. We will only allow the dog to utilize the grassy area between the sidewalk and the street. We will always clean up after your dog and dispose of the waste responsibly.
Communication from Your Viera Pet Sitter or Dog Walker
Pet sitting and dog walking apps such as the one we use for booking services keep pet parents informed no matter what time of day or night you check your messages.
Real-time updates after each visit inform on-the-go pet parents of how everything is going via photos, a checklist, and journal entries directly through our mobile app! This technology offers convenience and peace of mind and lets pet parents provide last-minute directions to their pet care provider. We all know there is simply no price tag for that.
