The gist, in three sentences.

  • Every Away Home & Pet Care team member is certified in pet first aid and CPR, trained to respond to real emergencies, not just familiar with pets.
  • The certification covers 17+ emergency scenarios including bloat, urinary blockages, fractures, heat stroke, and the need for CPR.
  • Pet first aid and CPR certification is a baseline you should ask about before hiring any pet sitter or dog walker.

At Away Home & Pet Care the safety of your pets is our #1 priority. We invest heavily in our training and we are pet first aid and CPR certified. This is one of the major benefits of hiring a professional pet sitter to care for your pets while you’re out of town. With the advent of technology-based pet sitting app Rover and Wag, just about anyone can call themselves a “pet sitter” or a “dog walker“. However, 99% of the sitters available on these gig-based apps are not pet first aid and pet CPR certified.

When you leave your pets in the care of a professional pet sitter from Away Home & Pet Care, you can be confident that they have the training necessary to handle common emergencies such as:

  • Vomiting and diarrhea
  • Bloat
  • Fractures and spinal injuries
  • Cat urinary blockages and tract infections
  • Urination and defecation problems
  • Loss of appetite
  • Lethargic pets
  • Body temperature emergencies
  • Heat stroke and hypothermia
  • Fever
  • Injury and shock treatment
  • Bleeding control
  • Lameness in cats and dogs
  • Burn care
  • Allergic reactions
  • Respiratory problems
  • Providing pet CPR and resuscitation if necessary

Don’t trust your pets to just anyone. Be sure your pet’s caregiver is certified to provide emergency care in the event of an emergency
