Keep your pet safe while you’re away
Although the pet sitters are the ones responsible for your pet while you’re away, it’s up to you to provide them with all the information they need to care for your animal companion the right way. Before contacting an in-home pet sitter and going on your trip, make sure your pet is ready to stay home without you. This could mean sorting out all of your pet’s medical needs, behavior training, and learning how to adapt to a daily routine that doesn’t involve you. If you need guidance on how to prepare your pet to stay with a sitter, book a virtual vet appointment with a Vetster veterinarian.
