Care from a friend – well-intentioned, but not always safe

Sooner or later, everyone who has a pet has faced the question: “Who will take care of them when I’m away?” An upcoming trip out of town, a business trip abroad, or an unexpected commitment can create a number of extra concerns. The first idea pet owners usually have is to ask a neighbor or a friend for help. But is that really the best option for your pet?

Care from a friend – well-intentioned, but not always safe

The gesture of someone close taking care of your pet is always heartfelt. But caring for a pet requires more than goodwill — it also requires knowledge, consistency, and dedication.
Think about a few things:

Will your friend be able to walk the dog at the exact time every day?
Will they recognize the signs if your pet becomes stressed or feels unwell?
Will they know how to react if an unexpected situation arises?

Even the best friend may not have the necessary experience or time to handle all of this. And when it comes to your pet’s safety, improvising can be risky.

Professional sitters at BuddyGuard don’t just love animals — they are trained to care for them. Every sitter on the platform is verified, trained, and each booking is insured for up to 30,000 BGN. This gives you peace of mind and confidence that your pet is in safe hands.
