Pet Checker vs Sandhills Pet Resort
Please, consider the following when choosing quality pet care................

Sandhills Pet Resort is dedicated to providing the best in pet care and understands there may be alternative options to professional dog and cat boarding facilities for pet owners. One of these options may be a friend, family member, or a pet checker/petsitter that comes to check on pets in the home. Since this alternative is not always ideal for every pet, we feel that Sandhills Pet Resort can offer the premium care that every pet deserves.


Pet Checker/Pet Care Provider Situations

• Most pets are only checked on once or twice during the day potentially leaving your pet alone for 22-23 hours a day. Often, there is only a small amount of time spent on exercise, interaction, and observation - all of which are needed even more while away from their owner. Sandhills Pet Resort has trained and loving pet care employees on staff everyday/all day. In addition, we offer a veterinarian on call 24 hours a day, and late night bed checks to provide extra peace of mind.
• Pets can experience severe stress, separation anxiety, and boredom when left alone. As a result, stress-related behavior such as destroying the house, yard, and belongings can occur.  Sandhills Pet Resort helps alleviate stress by providing hands-on interaction and a variety of activities to keep pets busy and happy throughout the day.
• Pet checkers can experience more difficulty in a multiple pet household and may not be able to give more than one pet the proper amount of care or attention. Sandhills Pet Resort's staff is trained and ready to give each pet the adequate individual attention they deserve.
• Owners should be aware that in emergencies, inclement weather, or unforeseen events, a pet sitter may not be able to get to their home. Sandhills Pet Resort provides smoke and fire detection with staff that is here to take care of your pets all year round regardless of weather.
• Pets may act abnormally or unpredictably while their owner is not home. In an owner's absence the dog may not welcome the pet checker/pet sitter, even if introduced previously, into the house as they are protecting their environment or may feel threatened by their presence. Sandhills Pet Resort offers a Complimentary Acclimation Day Visit for all first time borders in order to get acquainted with the boarding environment, our staff and facility. Since pets consider our facility a neutral territory, they can relax and enjoy their time at the Resort instead of being on alert to protect their home.
• Many pet owners choose pet checker/pet sitters or other alternatives to a boarding facility because of cost. Owners should keep in mind that quality care is sometimes higher priced as it is not easily found and maintained. You can feel confident that Sandhills Pet Resort strives to offer the highest premium care for our guests through the quality of our brand-new state-of-the-art facility and our trained and committed staff's care.

Please consider all of these factors in your decision regarding quality pet care for your dog or cat. We understand the concern you may feel about leaving such a beloved member of the family in our hands. We want to assure you, we take our responsibility to heart and care for your pet as if he or she were our own.
