When entrusting someone with the care of your beloved pets and your home, safety and security are paramount concerns. At Paws & Paths of Dorchester, we take these responsibilities very seriously. Our professional pet sitters are trained to implement stringent safety measures to ensure the well-being of your pets and the security of your home. Here’s how we prioritise pet safety and home security during our visits.
Secure Handling of Pets
1. Professional Training and Handling Techniques
Our pet sitters undergo comprehensive training in animal behavior and handling. This ensures they can manage pets of all sizes and temperaments safely. Whether it’s a rambunctious puppy or a timid cat, our team knows how to interact with them in a way that minimizes stress and prevents accidents.
2. Use of Appropriate Equipment
We utilise high-quality leads, harnesses, and carriers suited to your pet’s specific needs. During walks, we ensure your pet is securely harnessed, reducing the risk of escapes or injuries. We also adhere to any special instructions you provide regarding handling and care.
3. Monitoring and Supervision
Continuous supervision is a key aspect of our pet sitting services. We never leave your pets unattended during our visits. This constant monitoring helps prevent accidents and ensures immediate attention if any issues arise.
Home Security Protocols
1. Secure Entry and Exit Procedures
We follow strict protocols for entering and exiting your home to ensure security. Our pet sitters double-check that all doors and windows are locked before leaving. We also use secure key management systems, so your home keys are always safe and accounted for.
2. Respect for Privacy and Property
Our team respects your home and property. We limit our activities to the areas designated for pet care, ensuring your privacy is maintained. We also take care to leave everything as we found it, maintaining the cleanliness and order of your home.
3. Real-Time Updates and Communication
We provide real-time updates during our visits, including check-in and check-out notifications. This transparency keeps you informed about when we’re in your home and reassures you that everything is proceeding as planned.
Emergency Preparedness
1. First Aid Training
All our pet sitters are trained in basic pet first aid. They are equipped to handle minor injuries and know how to respond to more serious health issues. This training includes recognising signs of distress, and providing immediate care until veterinary help is available.
2. Emergency Contacts and Plans
Before beginning our services, we gather all necessary emergency contact information, including your preferred veterinarian, local emergency clinics, and your contact details. We also establish a clear emergency plan, ensuring quick and efficient responses if an emergency arises.
3. Safety Equipment and Supplies
Our sitters carry a basic first aid kit and any other necessary supplies to handle emergencies. This includes items for wound care, bandages, and any specific medications your pet may require.
