6 Reasons to choose a Certified Professional Pet Sitter in Columbia MO

😻A Certified Professional=Expertise and Knowledge

A certified pet sitter has passed industry-recognized training and exams, such as the Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) designation from Pet Sitters International —

• showing they know proper care standards
• feline behavior
• various safety practices for cats
• Certification requires ongoing educational credit units to maintain an up-to-date certification

Acquiring a Pet Sitter’s International certification is a personal decision of a pet sitter chosen to define their professionalism, standards of practice and hold their business to a higher standard.

Peace Love Paws Pet Sitters have been certified with Pet Sitters International (www.petsit.com) since 2018.

⛑Health Monitoring & Safety Practices

Experienced professionals are trained to spot

• early signs of health issues
• subtle behavior changes
• stress signals that untrained sitters often miss
• Professional cat sitters can detect potential problems before they become serious, as cats can deteriorate quickly if not monitored correctly. 

😍Reduced Stress for Your Cat

Cats generally prefer familiar environments — staying in their home with scheduled visits with an experienced cat sitter reduces anxiety compared with infrequent check-ins by someone without training or professional knowledge.  A professional knows how to interact in by

• A calm demeanor cats respond to positively
• helping them feel safe while you’re away
• giving them their space
• A quite communication with a “let them decide” attitude from a pet sitter is a practiced trait needed to care for cats.

💜Guaranteed Reliable & Responsible Service

Certified professionals don’t just show up when they feel like it — they are held to professional standards backed by

• written agreements with you
• schedules provided by you
• accountability with your cats care
• You can trust a professional to be punctual, prepared, and communicate with you. A professional pet sitter is not providing a gig service to make some extra cash.  Professional pet sitters work with cat’s everyday and consider their work a career.

🐾Personalized Care Tailored to Your Cat

Veteran pet sitters take time to

• learn your cat’s routines
• likes/dislikes
• medical needs (even medication administration)
• special behaviors
• Professional cat sitters create custom care plans rather than “drop-in” visits. Cat pros know that even shy cats need social interaction with soft spoken communication, so we do not provide a “quick drop in- less than 30 minutes” service.

☮ Peace of Mind

Certified Professional cat sitters are

• insured
• bonded
• background checks
• licensed with a city business license (Missouri does not require a pet sitting license)
• These items put in place, protects both you and your home while you’re away — something casual sitters don’t offer. 
• Always ask about certification, experience with cats, insurance/bonding, and references before booking.

✅Summary:

A certified professional cat sitter provides professional-level care, peace of mind, and a happier, healthier cat while you’re away — Peace Love Paws Pet Sitters would love to meet your feline baby!
