Remove some of the stress

Going out of town and leaving your pets can be stressful for both you and your pet. But you can take some of the stress out of it for your pets by keeping them in their own home and as close to their routine as possible.

Ways to alleviate some stress

1) plan early- we get it things come up that are out your control. But finding a pet sitter shouldn’t be the last thing on your to do list when planning a trip. Give yourself plenty of time that you aren’t scrambling and should someone not be a good fit you aren’tin a situation to have to use them because you don’t have any time left

2)meet and greets- we 100% require them for all new clients. They are that important. Schedule meet and greets as soon as you can to make sure everything is good. This is where you get to ask questions, see how the sitter interacts with your animals, and give your sitter all the information they need to make sure your pet is well taken care of. Remember you aren’t the only one making sure it’s a good fit

3)Go over your daily routine- the closer to the daily routine your sitter can keep your pet the less stressed they will be

4)medical issues- don’t leave out important medical issues whether it’s on going or reoccurring your sitter needs to know about it. It’s important that you fill out the third party medical consentthird party medical consent form so your pet sitter knows what to do if they can’t reach you. Make sure you notify your vets office that you will be gone, what dates and who is caring for your animals and leave a credit card on file for treatment.

5) Please don’t expect your sitter to be there 24/7 because they can’t be. But know your pet will be well cared for.
