NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release: April 1, 2004 Contact: Jane Lichtenberg, 414-967-1979, critrsit@aol.com Sue Jones, 414-871-1851, sjones1@icarepetcare.com The Best Service Organization You Probably Never Heard of…! MILWAUKEE, WI - With nearly 60% of all U.S. households being shared by one or more animal companions; vacations, business travel, or even just a long workday can make leaving a pet alone at home a concern. In the past, pet owners have had few choices regarding care for their companions when they are away. Although friends and neighbors are a good alternative in some cases, often the best solution is a professional pet sitter. With our very mobile and fast-paced society, sometimes we barely know our neighbors, and often not well enough to ask too many 'favors.' Pets are living longer now too and sometimes face ongoing health care issues. Choosing a professional, experienced pet sitter may be a more comfortable choice, and pet owners won't have to fit transporting their pet to a boarding facility into their schedule because pet sitting services come to their home. A pet staying at home in their familiar environment, with their regular food, medication, and exercise schedule is very comforting. Along with the loving attention of a professional pet sitter, it is the ideal situation for the pet and a relief to most owners during their busy schedules. Not only will a pet sitter care for the pets, but they will also give their clients' homes that "lived-in" look, further ensuring the safety of their pets and homes. Many pet owners have not yet heard of professional pet sitting. We rely on a few carefully placed ads, veterinarian referrals, and the word of mouth of our very satisfied clients. Most of us also have websites where prospective clients can learn about the services we offer, our service areas, and other important information. Our clients are always telling us how convenient it is to use a professional pet sitting service. Sue Jones of I Care Petcare (www.icarepetcare.com) said, "My clients depend on me to care for their pets and homes according to their instructions. Over and over, clients tell me how content their pets are when they return home and how pleased they are that their home was cared for properly. This peace of mind helps them enjoy their time away." "This is such a personalized service . . . I have clients who have been with me for over 15 years, some on their 2nd or 3rd generation of pets," said Jane Lichtenberg, owner of Critter Sitters, Inc. (www.crittersittersinc.com) in Glendale. "A large part of my clientele is the mid-day dog walks. It's a great stress reliever to many people not to have to run home on their lunch hour. My regular clients know that if they have an emergency or business trip and need to leave suddenly, we'll be there for them. Knowing their pets and home are being cared for by a service with a long record of quality and reliability is very reassuring." Carmen Anderson, who utilizes the midday walking services of Critter Sitters, stated, “We knew we had made the right choice of a petsitter when we ran into her at the pet store and our puppy was so excited! We feel she is taking perfect care of our Penny. Having Critter Sitters keeps our puppy on a schedule and allows us to have a puppy and keep our jobs.” Julie Baldwin, a long-time client, states, “Critter Sitters have been caring for our two cats since 1995. They medicate both cats daily and provide the basics of food, water, and playtime. They have handled any unexpected situations with ease. Critters Sitters has allowed me to enjoy my vacations and return to clean litter boxes and happy cats.” Linda Olson, DVM, states, "I believe strongly in the
benefits of a professional pet sitting service. I recommend it for my clients
and use it for my own pets." She is just one of the many vets who refer
clients to pet sitting services on a regular basis. Return to Helpful Links |
