Why Professional Pet Care is More Reliable Than Relying on Friends or Neighbors

When you need someone to care for your pet, it’s tempting to ask a friend or neighbor for help. After all, they know your pet, and it seems like a simple solution. However, pet care is more than just feeding and letting your dog outside—it requires expertise, consistency, and a professional commitment to safety and well-being. That’s where Funky Bunch Pet Care comes in.

The Risks of Relying on Friends or Neighbors

While well-meaning, inexperienced caregivers often lack the skills and preparation needed to handle pet care properly. Here are some of the biggest risks:

✔ Lack of Pet Care Knowledge – Friends may not recognize signs of illness, stress, or injury that require prompt attention.

✔ Inconsistent Scheduling – Friends have their own commitments, which can lead to missed visits or last-minute cancellations.

✔ No Emergency Preparedness – Would your friend know what to do if your pet had a medical emergency or got loose?

✔ Limited Experience with Behavior Issues – Handling reactive dogs, anxious pets, or medical needs requires training and experience.

✔ No Insurance or Liability Protection – If something goes wrong, a friend or neighbor doesn’t have the coverage that a professional service provides.
