You’re almost ready to go on your trip, but before you go, let’s ensure your fur buddy or buddies are prepared for their sitter. Scheduling your sitter can sometimes be the most challenging part, so making sure to book early is the best way to go as plans change and things come up in our daily lives. If you need to reschedule or make any changes to your arrangements, booking early makes it so easy to handle those unexpected events. One of the most important parts of prepping for your house sitter is allowing the sitter to get to know your pet before you go on your trip. This can be a simple meet and greet, and dogs going on a walk with their new sitter can help build that trust.

A great way to improve the overall experience for your sitter and fur baby would be to make any pet supplies easily accessible and in one area. Arranging all those pet necessities such as the harness and leash and any medicines in one place can make it so that your sitter does not have to go on a scavenger hunt to find things like cleaning supplies or the pooper scooper. Writing out a list of instructions is always a good way to go when leaving your pets with a sitter since this can be the guide to how you would like your sitter to care for your pet.
Some final pieces to a great experience can be securing those areas you know you don’t want your pets going into and pet-proofing the home by putting loose items away and anything you know your pet likes to get into. Lastly, let’s make sure emergency contact information is available to the sitter and let them know if you will be having unexpected visitors like a gardener or a pool guy. All these steps will ensure a great experience for your pet and sitter, and leaving will seem much more manageable.
