Professional pet sitting businesses are springing up everywhere. Some people enter into this field thinking that it is an easy way to make a quick buck. Spotting a true pet expert can be difficult. Here are some tips to help you find the best pet sitter for your furry family members.
Insurance
A professional pet sitter will carry comprehensive insurance to protect your home and pets in case of an accident or emergency.
Experience & Training
The best pet sitters are those who have had formal training in animal care, many years of experience, and have taken a course in pet first aid and CPR.
Backup plan
Pet sitting companies with multiple employees should have you covered in case the sitter has a personal emergency. If your pet sitter is flying solo, make sure they have a back-up plan in place.
Good references
A professional pet sitter should happily provide references for you to check out. Do not skip this important step.
Be comfortable
All the training and insurance coverage in the world should not trump your judgement. You should feel comfortable with the person, and take your pet’s reaction into consideration before trusting someone with your most prized possessions.
Choosing someone to care for your pets and home is a big decision. Hopefully these tips will help guide you in making the right choice for your pet’s care.
