Finding a Pet Sitter 

You can find many local qualified sitters on Rover.com, which are waiting for you to connect with them. Before booking your pet, be sure to engage in conversation with them about possibly accommodating your needs  and your beloved pets’ needs.

Meet and Greet 

Get to know them by visiting their home and seeing how many animals they own as well. Let your pet meet them, because animals are good judges of characters. Ask questions about your pets’ possible stay and ask lots of them. 

Ask for References 

Ask the sitter if they’ve ever been a pet sitter before or is this a new experience. Be sure to call any reference they give you and ask them questions about their pets stay. Find out all you can about the sitter before leaving your pet with them. 

Ask for Random Photos

Whenever you drop off your pet, be sure to ask for random pictures of your pet throughout the day. This way absolutely you know your pet is safe and happy with the new pet sitter. These random pictures should feature feeding time, play time, bath time if included, and other random moments throughout the day and night. 

Give a Review

The reviews will help them find the perfect yet most qualified local pet sitter as well. Your review is important, so don’t forget to leave one.
