Preparing your pet for the sitter


Professional pet sitters know how to manage anxious cats and pining dogs, of course, but there are some actions you can take to ensure a smoother process. Arranging a meet and greet with your sitter before you go is a great idea, for example, because it allows your pet to familiarize themselves with this new person. You should also make sure that you have all of the medications that your pet could need while you are away. If you have concerns about your pet's health or behavior, book a virtual vet appointment to get advice from a veterinarian.
