Who We Are

When choosing You x 2 Pet Sitting, you are choosing a pet care company that is independently owned and operated by an experienced pet care professional. The founder, Sharon Boatwright, started You x 2 Pet Sitting, out of a desire to provide reliable and trustworthy pet care to the community. We are the safe and guilt free alternative to boarding your pets at the kennel or imposing on friends and family.​

 

As a professional pet care company we are insured and bonded and each member of our team is background checked, vetted, and extensively trained. Along with ongoing education in pet behavior and safety, we are Pet CPR/First Aid certified. We are members of Pet Sitters International, PetSit Pro, and are Certified Professional Pet Sitters (CPPS). Of all the credentials that distinguish us over and above the competition, honesty, integrity and compassion are the virtues we value most!

 

Pet Sitting Team vs. Individual: Why Choosing a Team Is The Best Bet​​

Pet Sitting Team vs. Individual: Guaranteed Coverage

Life happens. As committed as an individual sitter may be, they could get sick, have a car breakdown, or face an unexpected personal emergency. Their sudden scheduling conflict can leave you scrambling to find last-minute care for your pet, a stressful situation as you prepare to travel, or worse, once you're underway. A pet sitting company with a team eliminates this worry. If your assigned sitter has an issue that makes it impossible for them to provide scheduled services, we assign another qualified team member to step in. With our team-based system, your pet's routine remains uninterrupted and their needs get met.​

 

Pet Sitting Team vs. Individual: Reliability in Scheduling

When you hire our team, you gain access to our pool of experienced and highly trained caregivers, each with unique skills and talents. Having our team at your fingertips enhances our availability and allows us to be there for you when you need us, with very few exceptions. With an individual pet sitter, your sitter's availability is limited to their working hours. And, as we all know, nobody has an endless supply of time, making scheduling a bit hairy - pun intended.

 

​Pet Sitting Team vs. Individual: Variety & Socialization

Maybe your dog prefers a calm and assertive presence, while your cat enjoys a playful cuddle buddy. Because we have a team, we can assign our sitters based on location and specialization. You'll always have a primary pet sitter who is conveniently located near you and best complements your pet's temperament, ensuring a positive and comfortable experience for everyone. While many of our clients think they prefer having one person assigned to their pet's care exclusively, our use of primary pet sitters ensures that your pet can develop a longstanding relationship with a few dedicated individuals who will work together to meet his or her needs. Having a highly trained, trusted caregiver, even if they are new to them, helps socialize pets. It encourages them to feel more comfortable around humans not in their nuclear family, which is why we encourage you to engage our services when you bring your pet home: for socialization.​

 

Pet Sitting Team vs. Individual: Enhanced Training & Expertise

As stated, our team of dedicated pet lovers has experience and undergoes extensive training. We invest heavily in our team's ongoing education because we want our team to provide outstanding services to the pets and families in our care - no matter where you are located or whom you are assigned. Our professional pet sitters and dog walkers possess knowledge and experience in handling nervous animals, administering medications, and dealing with specific health conditions. This extra layer of expertise can provide significant peace of mind, especially for the pets who require more specialized care, which a small operation with one sitter may not be able to provide or choose to attain.
