What is the difference between an RVT and a regular pet
sitter?

There are many excellent pet sitters out there. Many of them love
animals and even have years of experience in the pet sitting arena. The
unique advantage of El Dorado Hills Pet Sitting is the extra advantage
we bring to caring for your animal. We bring a true love for animals,
years and years of experience, and the training and expertise for
animals that only a Registered Veterinary Technician has.
