Prepare your pet for a stay with the sitter


If your pet is not used to you being away, separation can be tough. Thankfully, professional pet sitters know how to deal with nervous or anxious pets and can generally settle them down and keep them happy until you return. However, there are some cases in which it can be harder. Pets that are very old or have nervous disorders may find it tough to be alone with someone they don’t know well. As such, arranging a meet-and-greet with a prospective sitter is generally a good idea. Getting to know the sitter can make your pet feel a little better. If you have serious concerns about your pet, however, and you are worried that their health may suffer as a result of stress, book a virtual vet appointment with Vetster to discuss what you can do to minimize the risks.
