Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.
Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, pet care training, or memberships in professional pet-sitting associations.
Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.
Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.
Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.
Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.
Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).
Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.
Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.
Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
Here’s a comprehensive list of interview questions to ask a pet sitter candidate to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
