What services can I expect a
pet sitter to perform during an in-home pet care visit?
Generally, pet sitters will feed your pets, provide fresh
water, administer most medications, walk, play with and
nurture your pets. They will clean litter boxes and cages,
water a normal amount of houseplants, bring in mail, take
out trash, rotate lights and open and close window
treatments. Some pet sitters will perform other tasks upon
request, such as watering outdoor plants.

The pet sitter should
discuss with you, beforehand, how you want emergencies dealt
with. You will provide your veterinarians phone number
and other emergency contact information.

How
do I know keys to my house are secure?
Often the pet sitter will ask to keep your
keys. This is convenient for both you and the pet
sitter for future pet care visits. Most pet sitters
use a coded key system that provides for security and keys
are kept locked away.

Will my pet be cared for
if the pet sitter has an emergency and can’t provide
services?
Pet sitters usually have a back up plan that
allows for another pet sitter to care for your pet in an
emergency.
