Finding A Pet Sitter You Can Trust

In late January, a couple from San Jose came home from a trip to find that their two dogs were heavily sedated. After a visit to an emergency vet, it was confirmed by vets that they did seem to have some sort of sedation. The couple believes that the pet sitters they had hired to watch their two furry babies, had been sedating them the entire time they were gone. Their first red flag was when the sitters were weary to meet them ahead of time. This should always be the first sign that something is not right. So what can you do to avoid something like this happening to you? When trying to find a pro for your needs of dog sitting, Southlake and Coppell areas are covered by ACA Petsitters.

How To Choose The Right Sitter

Choosing the right pet sitter for your pet can be quite a task. Putting in the time to truly find the perfect one will not be regretted. You are putting the life of your pet in the hands of someone else. When searching for pet sitters, Farmers Branch residents and surrounding areas can always count on the professionals at ACA Pet Sitters.

●     Do your research - Get online, ask your friends, ask your family for any recommendations they may have. Just remember, just because that sitter was a good fit for them, doesn't mean they will be a good fit for you and your pet.

●     Ask questions - Make sure to ask your potential pet sitter lots of questions. Ask if they have any experience with the kind of pet you have, whether it be an extra-large dog, a flat-faced cat, or anything in between. Ask if they have had any formal training in animal CPR or other things.

●     Are they insured? - Look for a pet sitter who has liability insurance.

●     Do they work closely with a vet? - Check to see if they work closely with a vet just in case of an emergency.

●     DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR REFERENCES - Any reliable, trustworthy pet sitter should have no problem handing over a list of references. However, do yourself a favor and don’t bluff; actually call the listed reference.

●     Ask for a meet & greet - It is always very important for your pet to meet their new sitter before you leave your pets with them. Schedule a meeting, and if things go well, and you stay aware of the interaction between your pet and the sitter, this meet and greet could determine who you decide is your new pet sitter.
