How to prepare for the arrival of a dog sitter?
Once we’ve found a sitter we like and the day of the trip is approaching, it’s time to prepare for their arrival.
This little summary will help you do that.
Pet sitters are experienced and conscientious, but it should also be borne in mind that each dog has a unique personality and daily routine.
It may be useful to write down the daily routine.
What time your puppy eats, walks, plays and sleeps.
If your dog has a more complicated diet, it is recommended that food portions are reduced in advance.
This is a great help for the sitter and as the owner we can be sure that there will be no changes to our pet’s carefully prepared diet.
We also put all the medicines and food supplements in one place and write down which ones, when and how much your four-legged friend should have.
Before the pet sitter arrives, take your dog for a walk so that he has the right energy level to meet his new guardian, reducing potential stress.
Be sure to discuss several contact details so that we are available in case of problems.
Although it is often forgotten, it is also very important to discuss which vet you would normally go to if you need to.
We should also roughly define what tests the vet can carry out.
Your pet will be in the best of hands, our sitters are trained by a veterinarian and have first aid, nursing, ethology and feeding knowledge.

Of course, no one wants this to happen, but if it does and we are not available on the phone at the time, it is a great help for everyone.
Better safe than sorry.
When the sitter arrives, show him around the house: where your dog’s food, medicines, bedding and toys are.
Then all you have to do is set off, safe in the knowledge that your dog is in good hands.
Our sitters will keep in touch with you, sending you pictures, videos and reports about your pet, so you can be sure to follow your pet’s daily life even in your absence!
