Preparing for your Pet Sitter (When I come to meet you, please have TWO WORKING copies of your house key for me.)
Rocky
Even the most
trustworthy, experienced pet sitter might have trouble if you haven't kept your
end of the bargain. Here are some of your responsibilities:
Make reservations early, especially during holidays, school
breaks, or summer vacation.
Ensure your pet is well socialized and allows strangers to handle
him.
Affix current identification tags to your pet's collar.
Maintain current vaccinations for your pet.
Leave clear instructions detailing specific pet-care
responsibilities and emergency contact information, including how to reach
you and your veterinarian.
Leave pet food and supplies in one place.
Buy extra pet supplies in case you're away longer than planned.
Leave PAPER TOWELS and CLEANING SUPPLIES out.
Leave a key with a trustworthy neighbor as a backup, and give
him/her and your pet sitter each other's phone numbers. Be sure those
extra keys work before giving them out.
Finally, have a safe and fun trip. And remember to bring your pet
sitter's phone number [314-803-7297] in case your plans change -- or you
just want to find out how Felix and Lassie are doing.
