Pet sitters make vacations easier

A professional pet-sitting service called Home Is Where The Pet Is, based in Agoura, specializes in providing daily home visits that allow pets to keep a regular feeding, exercise and medication routine. They provide personalized attention including walks in the local neighborhood as well as hiking in the mountains or going on a "fun field trip" or having "play time" at the pet’s house.

Owner/operator Jennifer Hawes has been a pet-sitting professional for more than 20 years. In addition, she has worked at veterinary hospitals and spent several years as the head animal trainer for an entertainment production company. She provides care for pets whether the owner is on vacation or too busy or the pet needs some extra exercise.

Her business is Red Cross Pet CPR/First Aid Certified. For more information or to schedule a pet-sitting service, please call (818) 889-4975.
