Best Reason To Leave The Pets Home Alone

Alexander's Particular Pets

Peggy Alexander (our dogs know her as Peggy the Pet Sitter) has that special connectedness with animals. That's reassuring to those of us who are skittish about leaving our beloved critters behind. Those anxieties disappear as soon as Peggy walks through the door for her initial visit. The lengthy questionnaire she has you fill out appears formidable at first, but asks all the particulars about your pets - everything from Mugsy's quirky behavior patterns to Baby's favorite toys and where the cleaning supplies are in case there's an accident. This is followed up with a "comfort call" on the day before you leave town, and followed up once again with a personalized note upon your return. All told, this is one fetching pet sitter.
