Our passion is providing reviewed, RSPCA accredited individuals that you and your dog or cat can meet before you leave town.
Much better than some stranger from the local message board or, leaving your dog with friends who may not have the same love for your pet, right?

You might be thinking; “All right, but aside from it being nicer than a kennel what makes Newcastle pet sitters so great?”

1. Focused care
   - Have you ever left your pet alone for too long and had them get into something they shouldn't? Or maybe, so starved for attention after you've come home from work that they wouldn't leave your side? Like us, Cats and Dogs need and cherish company. Our Pet Sitters provide focused care and company to your pet while you're away. Catteries and Kennels are full of hard-working people but also swamped. While that can be fun for your pet, it can also be a problem. Focused care is especially important if your dog or cat has special needs. Which is our next point;
2. Your Pets Special Needs are Met
   - Special needs animals such as pets with diabetes or severe arthritis or other conditions need extra care for their health and comfort. Having an accredited Pet Sitter take care of your pet either in your home or, at theirs gives peace of mind that vital instructions are carried out and not passed off or forgotten..
3. Pet Pals
   - How many Pets could you take care of at one time and still know what's happening with every single one? Five? Three? At any given time a kennel or cattery can have 20 to 50 or more pets to feed, groom, comfort, exercise, and play with. They're hard workers, but not superhuman. Hiring a Pet Sitter is like hiring a personal friend for your puppy or kitty cat. They're able to give you real feedback on how your pet is doing because they aren't overburdened. They're also your Pets carer 24/7 not just between 9 am and 5 pm.
4. Home Turf
   - The home turf advantage is rife in sports and teams who play at home or close to usually perform better than those who are away from home. Why? Because their mind is at ease. It's comfortable. They know the sights and sounds of the area and the people. Pets are the same when they're in a home environment vs a kennel. Sitters all over the Newcastle suburbs invite pets into their home, and in many cases, your animal is very close to their own home. Pet Sitters can take your dog on their usual walk around the park or neighbourhood. Additionally, if you'd like your pet looked after in your own home, many of our sitters can also provide house sitting services if your pet is a little nervous in any new environment.
5. Home is where the bark is
   - Pets love a home environment as much as we do. A couch, floor, yard or bed somewhere where they are free to roam is significantly better than a cage or enclosure next to 50 other animals. No one likes to be behind bars (even if it’s just for their own safety).
6. Safety
   - A pet sitter taking care of your pet in their home can only manage one booking at a time so, you know there aren’t aggressive other animals, or unvaccinated or unneutered pets running around in the same vicinity that could cause your pet harm.
7. Due diligence
   - You don't know the staff in a kennel. Likely, you don't know all of the people who interact with your pet regularly when staying there. However, that's not true with a PetCloud Pet Sitter minding your cat or dog. Their personality, ratings and even pictures of their home are displayed on their profile. Background checks, access to a car in emergency and accreditation are all there for you to see. That's transparency.
