We get that budget is very important – here are a few factors to take into consideration when choosing a pet sitter for your pet(s).

Important Factors to Consider When Choosing a Pet Sitter/Dog Walker?

How Long Have They Been In Business

This matters baecause you want to know they are reputable and will be around for a while. Once you find a company you can rely on you do not want to have to go through the process of finding a new pet sitter in a couple of weeks.

Another reason this is important the longer a company has been in business the better their processes and procedures are. They have had time to refine the way things are done to ensure the best pet care possible.

Do They Have Office Hours

You might think office staff doesn’t matter, after all, you are only interested in the person coming to take care of your pets. But if you are on vacation and something comes up you will want to know someone will answer the phone when you call.

What Is Their Back-Up Plan

This matters A LOT. You are sitting on a beach and you haven’t heard anything from your pet sitter. Then you get a text saying they can no longer visit your pets because they are sick.

What do you do then? Who will feed your pets that night? You need to know there are backups in place – and not a friend of a friend who will take over if they are needed – you want to know who that backup is.

Are They Insured

Any serious/legitimate company will have insurance for them and their staff. It’s a must.

If someone falls and gets hurt while caring for your pet you want to know you will not be sued.

What Technology They Use

Again you may wonder why you would care about this – but when your dog gets fed the wrong amount of food you will wish that your pet sitter had an online system where all that data is stored.

If your pet sitter is guessing then they are not doing their job. Everything needs to be recorded according to your instructions – and who better to provide those instructions via an online system than YOU!

An online system also makes it easy for you to update information as needed. If your cat gets wet food now instead of dry it will only take a minute to update the information.

While price is important we also know that all these other things will be important to you too.
