Qualities of a Good Dog Sitter 

Whether you are searching for the best dog sitter for your four-legged friend or want to become a sitter yourself, there are certain qualities that every pet sitter should possess.  We have created a list of some of the best common qualities of pet sitters.  We hope that you can find the best match for your pup!

They must LOVE pets!  It is important to know details about their pet care experience.  Do they have a pet of their own?  How much experience do they have watching animals?  Ask them why they enjoy being a pet sitter.

Training.  Having the right tools are the keys to success.  Find a pet sitter who has received training and can properly care for animals.  It is important for the pet sitter to understand various breeds and their temperaments.  Each dog is different so they will need to have a full understanding of how to approach them.

Trust.  You are going to have to put a lot of trust into your pet sitter.  Choose a pet sitter who will deliver on the promise of safety and comfort.  You may even see if your pet sitter can pass a background check.  This will provide you with extra assurance.

Patience.  A good pet sitter will have a significant amount of patience.  Pets may misbehave and act up at times.  The last thing you want to do is hire a pet sitter who is impatient with your dog.  This will not work out in the long run!

Insurance.  You always need to expect the unexpected.  No matter how good the sitter is, accidents may still occur.  Providing quality insurance will help if your pet suffers an injury under their direct care.

Finding the perfect pet sitter is a task.  You are placing trust into someone for taking good care of your furry companion.  We hope that you take our list into consideration when you are trying to find the best match!
