Imagine the unthinkable; the agony of choosing between your physical safety and keeping your cats.
How does your son choose between personal wellness and the wellbeing of his dog?
In-home pet sitting services can offer help when it is needed most.
Besty Bnb and PASS have entered the chat
Every day individuals in the DFW area and beyond face the stress and heartache of trying to balance getting the professional help they so desperately need while being sure their beloved four-legged companions are safe and sound.
Would you be surprised to hear there is a way YOU can get involved and offer pet sitting services to people in crisis? By signing up to be a temporary pet foster, you become the missing piece in their treatment and recovery journey. Your services can help domestic violence victims get to a safe place. You can help people experiencing homelessness, financial instability, addiction, or a mental health emergency get the life-saving help they need.
A Unique Partnership Offers Peace of Mind with In-home Pet Sitting
The unique partnership between BestyBnB and PASS (Positive Alternatives to Shelter Surrender) offers peace of mind to pet owners in impossible situations while simultaneously creating a potential income stream to temporary pet fosters who open their homes and care for these displaced pets. These two programs occupy the space between the temporary need for help and a dreaded and very permanent shelter surrender. With the in-home pet services provided by BestyBnB carers, individuals and families in high stress situations can find solace in knowing that their pets are safe and loved by fully vetted temporary pet fosters until they find themselves safely on the other side of whatever it is they are facing.
One of the top reasons victims of domestic violence with pets stay with their abusers is the worry of where they can go with their pet. Or even worse, what will become of their sweet pet if they leave them behind in the home. Less than 5% of domestic violence shelters have pet facilities. By signing up to be a Pet Caregiver, you are already removing barriers between families with pets and the help they desperately need.
Many times individuals dealing with substance abuse or living in domestic violence situations are isolated from friends and family. Individuals often do not feel comfortable asking strangers for help and because they don’t have the safety net and support of healthy relationships, they become more and more emotionally dependent on their companion pets. This makes the thought of a shelter surrender even more excruciating and may delay the decision to get help.
You can sign up to be an In-home Pet Sitter
When you sign up to be a BestyBnB Pet Caregiver, you set your own customized rates (standard & holiday), manage your availability, collect money, and decide which organizations or pet parents you wish to help. One hundred percent of set fees go directly to the caregiver for the in-home pet sitting. If you wish, you can donate your services free of charge. For added security, each temporary pet foster passes a background check and completes a safety course prior to being accepted into the program. To waive the background check fee, sign up with code DPAPASS (case sensitive)!
Serving as a temporary pet foster and providing in-home pet sitting for a fee or on a volunteer basis allows pet parents in crisis to finally get the help they need and not worry about what might become of their cherished companion pets. You are providing much more than just pet care. You are keeping companion animals out of the uncertainty of a shelter surrender and providing the promise of a better tomorrow for pets and their forever family.
