Why More Than One Sitter Is A Good Thing

One of the most common questions we get is:
“Why are multiple people caring for my pets?"
At Rex And Roxy Pet Care, we truly believe that a team approach is the safest and most reliable way to care for your pets. Here is how that looks in real life.
Team > Solo
A single sitter can only be in one place at a time. Life happens. People get sick, cars break down, families have emergencies.
When you work with our team, you are not depending on one person. You are depending on a group of trained pet care professionals who support each other and step in when needed.
Service You Can Count On
Imagine this: you are on your way out of town, and your solo sitter has an emergency. With no backup, your trip is suddenly at risk.
With Rex And Roxy Pet Care, if something unexpected happens to one sitter, another team member is ready to step in. Any confirmed visit on your schedule will be completed. Your pets are still seen, on time, with no extra work or worry on your part.
Better Coverage, More Availability
Because we work as a team, we can help more families without overloading one person.
This means:
More flexibility for last minute bookings when we can accommodate them
Better coverage during holidays and busy seasons
Less “sorry, we are full” responses
Caring For The Caregivers
We want your pets to be cared for by people who are focused, rested, and present.
Solo sitters often feel pressure to work every single day. That leads to burnout and compassion fatigue. Our team structure allows us to schedule real days off so that when a sitter comes to your home, they are able to give your pets the attention they deserve.
Helping Shy Or Anxious Pets
Many clients tell us, “My dog needs time to warm up to new people,” or “My dog is unsure about strangers.”
Meeting more than one trusted sitter, in a calm and planned way, actually helps many pets feel safer over time. Your dog learns that different Rex And Roxy team members all follow the same routines, respect their space, and listen to their cues.
This slow, supported exposure can reduce anxiety in the long run, instead of keeping your pet dependent on only one person.
We Are Here To Talk
If you ever have questions about who is coming to your home or how we introduce new team members to your pets, please reach out. We will be happy to talk it through with you.
Thank you for trusting Rex And Roxy with your furry family.
