How to find the right pet sitter?

If you prefer to hire a professional pet sitter, you can search online for pet sitters in your area. Be sure to check references for potential pet sitters before you choose one.

Once you find the right pet sitter, you can rest assured your dog will be in good hands. Have the pet sitter come to your home in advance so you can explain where things are. Give your pet sitter clear, concise instructions and be sure to provide a list of the following contact numbers:

• Your cell phone (if applicable)
• Cell phone of others traveling with you (if applicable)
• Your hotel or other lodging
• Your veterinarian
• The closest emergency veterinarian
• Family members and/or friends’ contacts in case you cannot be reached

Most pet sitters understand that you may worry about your dog while you are away, so they understand that you might want to check in. A brief call once or twice while you are gone is perfectly reasonable. The rest of your trip will be more enjoyable if you know your dog is doing well. You can let loose and have a great vacation! When you get back, your beloved companion will be waiting and wagging.

I have been walking dogs and cat sitting as a profession for the past eight years and I have owned a pet for the last 23 years. I am insured. I love animals and have all the skills and experience you might need in a pet sitter.
