Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.
