When it comes to finding the right pet sitter for your pet there are a lot of things to take into account. You are trusting someone to treat your best friend and family member like they were the sitters own while you are away. You should take great care in selecting a sitter considering most of us pet owners consider our pets to be our children.
You always want to ask for a pet sitters references, preferably previous clients or veterinary offices, to show that the have successfully cared for pets like yours and will speak for their qualifications. Every pet is different and has different needs. While someone may have done a great job with taking care of someone's boa constrictor or dachshund, can they handle the demands of your Great Dane?
Another item you want to research is the pet sitters facilities. A visit to where your pet will be kept, if not an in home sitting, is almost always essential. Any pet sitting service can sound great on paper but be lacking in the reality of the quality of atmosphere in which your pet is being cared for.
Finally, you want to make sure that you feel comfortable with the person that you are leaving your pet with. Once you feel comfortable with the person, it is highly recommended that you bring your pet along to make sure that your pet agrees with the individual as well. Just like we sometimes do not get along with people, our pets have the same nature to like or dislike other people.
Once you have found a place that is qualified, has the proper facilities for your pet, and both you and your pet agree that the sitter is acceptable, then you have found the right person.
