Hiring a pet sitter

If this is your first time leaving your beloved pet with someone new, we can help you feel more comfortable and find the right pet sitter for your needs. Here are the most important factors when contacting a potential pet sitter:

• Experience: Most pet sitters will already have previous experience in pet care, but it can be beneficial to find someone who has previously worked with your pet’s species and breed.
• References: You want to make sure your pet is in the right care. Feel free to ask for references so you know the sitter is dependable.
• Availability: Make sure the pet sitter is available during the times you need them, whether it’s for regular daily visits or for an extended period.
• Type of care: Would you like a pet sitter to drop in a few times a day to feed and care for your pet? Or would you prefer someone to stay in your home so your pet doesn’t spend too much time alone? Some sitters can also take your pet to stay with them in their house while you are away. Make sure you discuss all expectations before making any arrangements, and keep in mind that the price will likely differ based on your pet’s needs.
• Insurance: Consider a pet sitter who is insured in case of any accidents or damages that may occur while they are caring for your pet.
• Communication: Good communication is key to ensuring that your pet’s needs are met. You don’t want to be an overbearing dog mom but if you want regular updates of your pup, make sure you hire someone responsive and understanding of that.
• Trustworthiness: You are leaving the care of your beloved pet to someone else, so it is essential to find a pet sitter you can trust. Have a meeting with them to get to know them better and introduce them to your pet.
• Price: Price is a factor to consider, but it should not be the only deciding factor. Look for a pet sitter who offers fair pricing for their services and is transparent about their rates.

If you keep these things in mind, you are sure to find someone suitable for your pet sitting needs. Your pet will need some supplies while you’re on holiday, so make sure everything is ready for your sitter while you are away. Browse through the Airdrie Pet Supplies category for grooming accessories, pet food, and more.

If instead, you would be interested in a kennel or pet boarding service, you can check the Pet Services category to find qualified places that you can leave your pet with while you’re away.
