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.

You will only be leaving the animal to the caretaker for a little awhile. It could be the first time that he sees the animal and takes good care of it. If there are certain restrictions with food and practically anything else about the animal, make sure to inform the caretaker about it.

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.

When it comes to food, there are many options that you can do. The first would be that you can shop for the food and other suppliers for your animals before leaving. You can shop enough for the days and weeks that you will be gone.

It has to be someone who knows their way with animals. If the person does not know how to take good care of them, then it is usually to leave the animals with them. There is even a risk that the animal will get sick or something untoward will happen to the animal while under their care.

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.

This is if you know you can trust the person but then again, you would not leave your animals to people who cast a shadow of doubt in your mind. He can also phone you up to inform you that there is no food for the animals anymore and that it is time to replenish the stock. With this, you will have to leave your phone number to him so that when something is needed to be bought for the animals, he can reach you.

Another way of doing it is to let the caretaker contact you whenever something is needed and then you send him money. But you can always pay him later. Just make sure he shows valid receipts for the things he bought for the animals.
