Preparing Your Home for a Pet Sitter
Proper preparation ensures a smooth and successful pet sitting experience. Clear communication and organization help sitters provide the best possible care.
Detailed instructions should be provided, including feeding schedules, medication guidelines, exercise routines, and emergency contacts. Written notes help avoid misunderstandings.
Supplies should be easily accessible. Food, treats, leashes, litter, cleaning tools, and medications should be clearly labeled and stored in designated areas.
Home safety is also important. Secure hazardous items, ensure doors and windows function properly, and provide access to necessary rooms.
A pre-sitting meeting allows pets and sitters to become acquainted. This introduction helps pets feel more comfortable and allows sitters to ask questions.
Thoughtful preparation supports effective care and builds trust between pet owners and sitters.
