Tips In Finding Reliable Pet Sitters

By Juana Gamble


There are many brand names of food for animals. It is very important that you inform the caretaker about the food that your animals usually eat. Remember you are the one who is familiar with the animal. You know better your animal than the pet sitters do.

He must have compassion for house animals. Otherwise, he would not have the patience to care for these animals. You can request your friends or relatives to give food and shelter for your house animals while you are away. Choose the friends and relatives who are found with animals.

It is also a good idea to keep your veterinarian in the loop especially if you are going to be away for a long time. They are under the care of this person temporarily until you get back home. Leave your contact number and email address to the person.

If your animal gets sick or there is something that needs you to be informed, then he knows how and where to reach you. This person could be a friend or a family member. One thing is for sure this is a person that you can trust for your animals. You cannot just leave your animals to anyone even he is a friend or a relative.

Because you are that familiar with your animals, you can estimate well enough how much it can consumer for a given period of time. If you are leaving the animals to friends or relatives, some of them would tell you to not bother with shopping anymore. They will be the one to do it.

If there is one person who knows really well what your animals need, it is you. Thus, it is imperative that you make a checklist of these things and then buy them in advance. Remember, you are only leaving the animal to your friend or family member for them to look after, not necessarily to pay for its food and whatnot.

Besides, you do not leave your animals to people who you do not trust. Inform the caretaker everything that he needs to know about the animals. This will help him in taking good care of it properly. Leaving money for the caretaker for him to buy the supplies will also work.

You can shop for food and stuff for your animals that are enough for a certain period of time. Leave enough food and other suppliers for your animals so that the person you requested to look after your animals will not be bothered with shopping for the animals anymore. You can also leave extra cash to the caretaker so that whenever something is needed, he can just buy it without using his own money.

It is your way of saying thank you for taking care of these animals when you left. You can leave special instructions to the caretaker. Give him a list of the food that you buy for your animals. In case, the food runs out and you are still not home, he knows which food to buy and which brand as well.
