How To Go About Finding 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.

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.

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.
