The Growing Demand for Melbourne Dog Sitting

Pet owners previously relied on boarding kennels when they went away on holidays.
However, some pets are best looked after in their home, especially if your pet has special
needs, such as medication or anxiety. A pet sitter is often considered the best method for
looking after your pets. Your pet will feel happy and safe as they’ll stay where they feel the
most comfortable.
